Suggestions for girls names

[Stigaloid]

Any ideas welcome. We are due in December. DH likes traditional names (Sarah, Laura, Rachel, Kirstie) i like a little more romantic (flouncy?) names (Penelope, Phillippa, Felicity)

Am open to all suggestions except the following:

Jennifer (my mum's name but also name of my PIL's first stillborn so not appropriate)
Rachel (all my female cousins are called this)
Isla - I know 4
Freya - I know 4
Scarlett - I know 3
Isabelle/a - i know 6

That's it really - all other suggestions welcome.

Well, here are some that I like. I think they'll fall more into your camp than your DH's:

Rhiannon
Rosanne/a
Tamsin
Corinna
Meredith
Meryl

[gladders]

Harriet
Alice/Alicia
Celia/Cecily
Jemima

V hard to please both camps really - are there any that you both sort of like?

[pippel]

Elizabeth
Victoria

I love Philippa

[MrsVik]

Iona
Jasmine
Evelyn
Cosima

[thirtysomething]

Another vote for Elisabeth.

Other suggestions:
Sophie/Sophia
Elena/Ella
Beatrice
Florence
Amelia/Amalie
Catherine/Kitty
Esther
Anna (beautiful and underused!)
Catriona
Hannah
Polly

[Stigaloid]

Thanks ladies

I love Beatrice and Eleanor

We both like Harriet

DH lkes Tamsin, Melissa, Elizabeth and Imogen.

I really like Milicent but he won't go for it.

Any more suggestions? We really can't seem to get a short list together so am seeking names from others as ideas as we keep just getting stuck into the the top 10 popular names and our son (unwittingly) has a very popular name (whenever we go to teh playground there about 6 boys with his name!) so am hoping for a little more variety on the girl front!

Thanks again x

[gladders]

millicent.... perhaps he'd go for milly?

eleanor - ella/elsa/helena also nice (and less likely to get shortened to ellie?)?

knew a tamsin... her sister was leonie. quite unusual?

think tara is a beautiful name - couldn't bring myself to use it as was bullied by one once.... but still - like the name!

florence?
amelia?
caroline?

[Stigaloid]

Yes we both like Milly, but only as a nick name. We both agree that we would like a "gronw up" sounding name that can have a nice nickname to it, so when she is older if she introduces herself in to other she can eitehr say 'hi i am Camilla' or 'hi i am Milly' There are so many wonderful names that suit little girls that i like but don't necessarily think would suit a 35 year old woman in a board room etc.

I love Florence and Tara is lovely too.

We like Caroline but think we have ruled out Amelia.

We both like Charlotte but good friends have just given birth and called their daughter Charlotte. I know we can have the same name but we would rather something different (probably just pregnancy hormones speaking there)

[gladders]

know an emily who is called milly as a nn? (not v keen on millicent myself...) - could also work with Emilia?

if i had another daughter, pretty sure she wd be florence!

[Stigaloid]

oooh just stumbled across Margot - quite like that.

[bunjies]

Alexandra called Sasha for short. I am biased though as my dd is a Sasha.

Camille with Millie for short.

[BlueChampagne]

How about Francesca?

[Scorps]

Romilly, nn Millie.

My dd is 'just' Millie, nn Mimi. Others you could have for nn Millie

Camille/a
Emilia
Amelie
Amelia
Emily (maybe even Emmeline?)
