2 weeks to go and can't decide on girls name!

[MacMac123]

Would love to hear everyone's thoughts on short list for DD due in 2 weeks. Feel as have massively over thought things, faced some (bizarre and quite rude) strong opposition from father in law (random i know!) and now don't feel anything is quite right!
Short list is
Willow
Lilibet
Annalise
Emmeline
Syke
Mabel (preferred more by DH than me!)

Look forward to hearing thoughts!

[RVPisnomore]

Sorry not massively keen on any of the names, if I was forced to have one it would be Annalise.

[MacMac123]

Have just realised Syke should be Skye!!

[shockers]

Do you mean Syke or Skye?

I like Emmeline best.

[shockers]

X posts!

Lilibet will get everyone assuming you are a monarchist and while I think its pretty as s nn, not sure about it as first name for an adult.

I like Annalise, people will ask if you are Austrian, but who cares, and Emmeline. I see lots of Skyes atm. Not keen on Willow, myself, bit can see why it cam be pretty.

[Devora]

Mabel. Followed by Annalise.

How about Anna? I love Anna. Or Ada. Or Lydia.

[MrClaypole]

Annaliese is lovely.

Don't like the others at all, sorry!

[Loobylou222]

Love the name emmeline!

[dancinginthemoonlight]

I love Emmeline and willow or Emmeline willow if you are looking for a middle name too ;-)

[Leafmould]

Emmeline is fantastic. I hope you use it.

Good luck!

[toobreathless]

We almost used Willow for DD but stopped concerned that it was too trendy & might date.

Lilibet sweet, would definately use Elizabeth as full name.

Annaliese really don't like sorry, but Anna by itself us beautiful and timeless.

Mabel Skye meh, OK.

Emmeline lovely.

[mumnosbest]

i like willow then mabel.not too keen on the others though.

[HolyAutumnGoldBatman]

Willow - not keen, a bit celeby
Lilibet - really lovely, but only as a nickname for Elizabeth or Lilian or something more sensible and grown-up
Annalise - no
Emmeline - ok, but too similar to all the Emily/Amelia/Amelie for me. Prefer Evangeline.
Skye - no
Mabel - ok, but not great.

From your list I'd go with Elizabeth nn Lilibet

[eBook]

I like Willow, Annalise, Emmeline and Skye.

Lilibet is a bit odd, just about OK as nn for Elizabeth. Mabel is too "old lady".

[ellesabe]

I think Skye is the only one on your list that won't date. If that sort of thing bothers you.

[MoonHare]

Of your list I like Annalise and Emmeline best. I'd probably go with Emmeline, think Pankhurst.

Skye and Willow sound very California Hippy, which could be great if that's what you're after.

Lilibet, I can't get past the fact that was the royal family's pet name for the Queen.

Mabel is OK, very different from the other names on your list though.

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Ignore Fil - none of his bloomin' business.

Emmeline is my favourite from those.

[MacMac123]

Thanks for the feedback! Annelise (think prefer with e in the middle) and Emmeline are my faves too!

[Curtisbaby5wks4days]

I love Willow and Annalise. I worked with a girl called Emmeline and would only say I lost track of the no of times I heard her say "EmmeLEEEEN not Emily!"

[Gugglebum]

Annelise, Willow and Skye would be my top 3 from your list.

[janji]

Emmeline

[mathanxiety]

I don't like Skye or Lilibet but the others are very nice.

I especially like Emmeline.

[DessieLou]

Annaliese gets my vote!

[Snowflakepie]

I like annalise best, but she will be forever spelling it to people. Same with emmeline. Willow is sweet and not too overused. Really don't like Skye or Mabel tbh, I think they will date quickly. Go with your heart and ignore FiL, we deliberately didn't say anything to family because once I was set on something, I didn't want them to be rude about it. Once baby arrives they seem to just accept it better!

[CouldYouPleaseCallMeCordelia]

Emmeline (pronounced emma-line not emma-lynn) is my favourite, followed by annelise.
