What about Amelie Rose, I think that's pretty? :)

Esther Rose would be nice

Tanz825 · 28/11/2011 15:37

I agree that Alanna is nice, but I personally wouldn't choose another 'A' name with one already in the family. I don't think that either Morgan or Alexis are 'pretty' perhaps f you gave us the name you really like but can't use we could think of some names in the same ball park for you?

Have you tried using www.nymbler.com/? Some of the names are a bit nutty, but it might give you some inspiration.

I love Ava from your list,I've got a Liberty and she is the prettiest girl ever!
Not that I'm biased. Good luck.happy times

Smugfearnleyshittingstool · 27/11/2011 22:44

We have an Ava in the family, I love clementine, or how about my dds name, Claudia. We love it and dont hear of any others....yet. Rose is very popular as mn. As is grace and may.

Velvetcu · 27/11/2011 22:38

I like Ava Rose. We have just named dd Eva Lily Grin

manicinsomniac · 27/11/2011 22:36

I think Ava Rose, Alexis and Morgan are all lovely names actually.

Others in a similar vein:
Abigail
Alexia
Alexandra
Alyssa
Alicia
Anya
Alayna
Avery
Amber
Ariel
Melissa
Matilda
Miranda
Marissa
Madeleine
Madison
Makenna
Macie
Maya
Mira

At the moment I really like the name Joy, such a lovely meaning. I can't use it though, my husband has an aunt called Joy and not the kind of aunt you want to name your child after unfortunately.

goodasgold · 27/11/2011 20:09

I think the prettiest girls name is Cicely.

I really like 'middle names' as first names at the moment, for example

Jane
Louise
Elizabeth
Anne/Anna
Caroline
Rose
Jean
Mary

I have a Ellie pippa and a Hattie Alice (middle names are family names for both of them) if I were to have another child (when hell freezes over) I would choose something like Heidi, Matilda, Charlotte/ lottie.

Lots of unusual names in dd2 class (think they plonked the unusual names together as she's the only Hattie!) jasmine, sasha, saskia, fallon, bailey, kalley more traditional ones are annabella, Anna, Madeleine, Katie, lily, Emma, daisy, Isabelle,

Love lila and isla also got a soft spot for layla my nan's name was rose so that why it could be an option for a middle name but I agree it is so popular now,

I feel the same about Morgan and Alexis but can't seem to get them out of my head its like my minds gone blank lol trust me to have the choice in girls names my dp got to choose the boys, I do like honor tho x the thing is I may be being a bit picky here but I'm a youngish mum (25) and live on a council estate lol so some names seem a bit posh to me lol even tho some I really like. I'm so confused! Sorry if I'm coming across as a cow :)

I'll go against the grain and say I really like Morgan. There's something graceful about it. Similar could be:

Megan
Madeleine
Bethany/Bethan
Bryony

Ava and Alexis are a bit precious imo.

4madboys · 27/11/2011 18:17

i like ava rose from your list :)

HelloShitty · 27/11/2011 18:11

Really don't like Morgan - neither pretty nor girly (IMO), and it's a surname.
Alexis is too similar to Alanna (unless that's what you want, of course).
I like Ava, but there's an awful lot of them about.

So, after being so negative, here's my ideas... Violet(ta), Phoebe, Flora, Lucy, Honor, Emelia, Cecile.
