Hi there

We found out yesterday that we are expecting a girl after 3 boys. Totally shocked & unexpected and we have never even looked at girls names before. I had a look in my name book last night and came up with a list but DH has said he doesn't like any of them!!!

Boys are Finn, Milo & Kit. Names I suggested but which have been vetoed are Dora, Mabel, Betsy, Violet, Ottilie & Coco.

I think he would go for Edie but is it really popular now? I think he likes Clemmy but it kind of reminds me of Flemmy - am I being stupid?!

I would love any suggestions. You would have thought it would be easy choosing a first girls name but it's a whole new world to me! Thanks in advance.

fwiw i absolutely love Coco. i wanted it for dd, i would have called her Constance, with Coco as a nickname.

I like all of your name suggestions apart from Coco and Dora: Coco because it follows clumsily from Kit; Dora because of the kids cartoon.

Pearl, Lola, Heidi, Ella, Hebe (hee-bee) and Nell might go with your boys names. Something funky, yet with a vintage sound is what my feeling is.

Edie is a bit too Granny chic to my ears. Clementine has that modern/retro edge but has perhaps too manu syllables with your boy's names. I'll have a think and come up with some more names [hsmile]

I think Lois would fit nicely.

RosannaBanana · 26/10/2012 08:48

I like Edie, short for Edith. Clemmy (Clementine) is nice too. What about-
Pearl
Rosa
Xanthe
Nina
Eliza
Vivienne
