Baby no-name! Please help!

Hi all,

We are trying to pick a name for our new baby daughter and are rapidly running out of time.

We have narrowed it down to the list below but hubby and I do not agree.

He likes
Skye, Eden, Morgan, Amber and Ruby and I like Thea, Skye, Arabella and Beatrix.

The only crossover we have is Skye but it is not our favourite of each of our respective lists.

I may eventually post our list of 'dismissed' names but it is over 500 names long so it will not be today.

The criteria is that the name must be quite simple and easy to spell as we are fine with "that is unusual", but want to avoid "how do you spell that?"throughout their lives.

We already have an Oliver and a Leila and our surname starts with "A" so that migh be a consideration.

Any help would be appreciated.

We only have until 16th to name her so a rapid response would avoid "baby X" on the birth certificate.

HELP HELP HELP!!!

Skye
Eden
Morgan
Amber
Ruby
Thea
Skye
Arabella
Beatrix

We've actually ruled out most of the names suggested. While they're all beautiful we know quite a few other kids of those names.
I did like Elodie but dh was not too keen.

Do you like any of the names we have posted op?

I think everyone has a wobble about the name they choose. I like Skye. Also what about

Tabitha
Jura
Hestor

Isn't Eden a boys name? I know of one that i teach.

I always wanted the name Iona for a girl but am blessed with boys. That's still a Scottish island if you like Skye Smile

She's just been called baby so far. Tried a few names but nothing stuck yet.
Have a load of names that we love but that don't seem to suit her.

Decoy · 13/05/2013 11:36

I was going to say the same - go for Skye!

jamtoast12 · 13/05/2013 11:35

Skye and arabella lovely! Don't like Morgan at all!!, what have you been calling her given she must be 5 weeks old!!!! Shock

Bowlersarm · 13/05/2013 11:22

If Skye is on both your lists, then I would say that is your name sorted.

harleyd · 13/05/2013 11:22

skye or eden

MrsBungle · 13/05/2013 11:20

I like Eden and Skye. If you both like Skye, just go for that?
