Girls names...

[Haribosmummy]

OK, tell me what girls you think I should be thinking of?

I have a Harry (Harrison) so would like something that 'matches' that IYSWIM.

Our shortlist (OK, my shortlist which I have repeated over and over mentioned to DH) is:

Imogen (but I don't like Immy and DH doesn't like Genny)
India (but shortened to Indy might make people think I have a Harrison Ford issue!)
Amelia (but popular????)
Emily

PLEASE offer any / all suggestions!!

thankyou!

I like Emily and Amelia best from your list. Are you that concerned about how popular names are? According to a site I've just found, Emily was 4th most popular last year, Amelia 11th, Imogen 40th. I can't see India anywhere in the top fifty.

I think you have to go for a name you love and sounds right rather than how unusual it is. You might go off the name in a few weeks/months/years and wish you had chosen something else.

Why not just call her by the full version e.g Imogen?Why does she need a nickname?

I like all of them! Emily and Amelia probably my favourits.

[Boys2mam]

LOVE Imogen & India

My own are....

Mia
Thea

(not intended for them to rhyme)

[dizzydixies]

Imogen could be Mimi if you liked that? does it need to be shortened though, its a lovely name

others could be

Celeste
Penelope nn Nell
Cecilia nn Cece
Nancy
Nina
Georgia
Jemima nn Jem
Nicole nn Nico
Verity
Marianne

[dizzydixies]

Claudia is lovely too
Camille nn Millie or Mimi
Beatrice nn Bea
Phoebe nn Bea
Florence nn Floss
Josephine nn josie or Posey

[Boys2mam]

Oh mine aren't called Mia and Thea (just had myself a chuckle at that!), they're on my wishlist for DC3, who will be a girl (not yet conceived, still trying to bully persuade DP).

Imogen is nice enough but Immy and Genny both v silly sounding imho.

I don't like India.

Emily is nice and classic and not heard as much nowadays.

Amelia is okay.

I like:
Clover
Violet
Elinor
Esme
Beatrice
Daisy

[dizzydixies]

janeite where we are there are loads of Emily's - not surprisingly as its a lovely name

[Bonneville]

Why does Genny sound silly? I am assuming it is pronounced the same as Jenny/Jennie.

[Haribosmummy]

Yes - Genny as Jenny..

There are loads of Emilys around here too...
(not that that really matters - Harry isn't exactly uncommon!!

[Scorpette]

Go for broke and turn India into Indiana

[angrypixie]

No more Emilys....I implore you!

I know 11 oldest 18 and youngest 7 months.

[Haribosmummy]
