Really struggling for girls names

41 replies

I seem to be the only person who struggles with girls names. Boys names I have sorted but I just don't seem to like any female names. My criteria is that I want a strong sounding name, nothing too frilly or flowery, something that a child can grow into and a tiny bit feminist!

Ahhhhh . . . when I was pregnant with DS last time I quite liked Ivy, Olive & Frida but I've gone off these now. My DH likes french names like Delphine and Cecille but I'm not so sure.

What do you think? Any suggestions

Really like Frances & margot but unfortunately there are reason why we can't use either of them. I am coming round to Delphine - I just don't love it. DS is Ernest
