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.

I can't just give one!

Poppy...my DDs name - just so many of them around now though. Hmm
Hattie
Ava
Eliza
Violet
Elsie

DD would have been Florence had it not rhymed with our surname or Amelia but felt it was too popular.

Lily

Whatiswitnit · 19/09/2012 22:27

There are so many girls' names that I love, many of them already mentioned on this thread.

My favourite, however, is Lily. I know it's ridiculously popular but it is a beautiful name.

Noura

This is DDs name DH is muslim and wanted an arabic name which should be chosen for the meaning and not the name itself. Noura means Light (from Allah-God). Her middle name is Na'eemah which is DMLs name and it means blessing.

MiaAlexandrasmummy · 19/09/2012 22:08

Mia from me too. But also need inspiration for her little mystery sibling, and we are having trouble agreeing on any girl names, so shall lurk with interest.

I know that its everywhere, and therefore not very Mumsnetty, but I think that the name Mia is just so pretty and has been my favourite name since I was quite young.
