We're still seeking inspiration. Can you give me your absolute favourite girls name - just one - never min whether it goes with siblings or surname or is too posh or dh doesn't like it. I'd just love to know everyone's favourite. Maybe we'll be inspired.

We dont have any cornish connections either! Well technically on dp's side way way way back there is some cornish ancestory apparently.

What type of names do you like?

Love Merryn by the way but we have no Cornish connection. Lovely though.

My Nan was Bathesheba Mrs D! Everyone called her Bash.

Favourite girls name :

Silvia

Mylittlepuds · 20/09/2012 19:34

If DS was a girl - Harriet.

I LOVED it but bizarrely now I'm pregnant again I'm not keen. So strange.

Now if it's a girl it will be Emma. I'm not overly fussed on the name but strangely something is telling me that's the right name for our girl, should we have one.

I think Erica or Erika is a very cool name, I'd happily consider Erica as a name for a DD except that I have a friend called Eric so would be a bit like naming her after him, not that he's not a good friend but my group of friends aren't in the business of naming our children after each other.

Susan is my XMIL's name so I'd never ever pick it, shame as I quite like it, and Susie as a nn. Perhaps Susannah instead.

Merryn which is my dd's name! And i saw another poster said she had a dd with same name. thats three mnetters with dd's called merryn and its not a popular name at all!

I also like felicity, violet, meredith, thalia and esme but dp didnt like any of those!

Oh and Eden which i love and sneaked in as another middle name despite dp not liking it!
