We've not managed to agree on a girls name in the last 7 months, and are getting tired of suggesting and discussing names.

Lovely mumsnetters, please tell us what we should call a daughter. Thank you.

Elin?

pegster · 15/12/2012 17:27

Sounds like with Seren & Ffion you're considering welsh names so how about
Carys, Elin, Delyth, Eluned, Rhiannon, Betsan, Meredith, Manon?
All non-frilly & very lovely in my opinion

I like Clara, Freya and Vivienne. Not so keen on Viv as a shortening for Vivienne.

Clara has previously been discussed but DH hates it.

Esther, Orla, Martha, Nia, Linden, Bethan, Corinne, Ellen, Hazel, Imogen, Maia, Nadine, Tamsin, Vivienne.

I love Marin, Malin and also Murren (two of those suggested above)

Serena as a compromise with DH?

I like Helena. Some of the names mentioned are very nice, but already used by family and close friends.

We loved Ffion, but SIL had a daughter first, and took it.
