had decided on Penelope nn Penny but went right off it

[olaflikeswarmhugs]

What else am I likely to like? I have NO inspiration to name this baby at all

She's going to end up called Girl

[Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost]

Are you pregnant with her or has she been born. The reason why I ask is that she might come with her own name. That happens quite a lot.
Also what is your nasming style preference.
Eg Girly sweet names
Modern names
Nature inspired/Seasonal names
Flower names
Traditional names
Unisex names
Does popularity bother you.

Ah...just like me...

Loved Francesca for years. Then 'dear' bil just ruined it for me...

Since then I just can't think of any other name that I love...

Personally I like names that are not in top 50!

What do you like and we can throw some ideas out there

What about Persephone nn Sephy? This is my girls name frontrunner (finding out on Friday if we're having a boy or girl though so may end up not being able to!)

[Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost]

Persephone is a fab name. I don't know why though, but it makes me think of oranges.

[olaflikeswarmhugs]

I already have a 10th phoebe if that helps?

I'm still pg but I'd rather have settled on a name before she's born I don't know why I just feel waiting adds too much pressure with the time constraint.

Love Louisa but DSis is louise and it's DDs middle name too so too samey? Plus DH not keen

[Oysterbabe]

I like Penny and also like Nancy so maybe that?

[Oysterbabe]

Or Molly.

[myotherusernameisbetter]

Sarah with nn Sally?

[hackedoffnow]

Persephone was my choice nn Percy but dh said absolutely no chance.

[olaflikeswarmhugs]

10yo not 10th

[Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost]

Ha ha.I was thinking what you have 10 children which in itself is remarkable but they're all called Pheobe. You can't like s name that much, but each to their own I guess

[olaflikeswarmhugs]

DH likes Jessica but it's a bit too popular for me. Don't hate it but prefer Jessie. But don't love Jessie

[olaflikeswarmhugs]

Lighthouse I think 3 is plenty

[Finallyonboard]

Elodie nn Ellie, Lucinda nn Lucie, Genevieve nn gennie, Beatrice nn Trixie, Cordelia nn cordie, Florence nn Flo, Cecilia nn CeCe!

[Titsalinabumsquash]

We had decided on Penelope nn Penny for DD but after using it for a while we went off of it, we went through the same with,

Erica
Faye
Alice

The problem we had is that I really like a lot of old fashioned names and DP liked next to no names and between us there wasn't many at all the we both liked. (And our surname is bloody awful with most things)


In the end she wasn't named until a few hours after she was born, I would have waited longer but it was important to DP that she had a name and an identity and the only name DP and I both liked (although I adore every single cell of her I don't quite adore her name still and keep accidentally calling her Elizabeth ) was Olivia so that's what she is called, I am in love with her middle names though (Barbara Rose) they are more old fashioned, names given to celebrate people I love so I can more than live with it.

[3timesascrazy]
