All through my pregnancy (now 31w) our baby girl was going to be called Flora. Now I have been given a section date for 36w and am just not sure any more!!
Would love some feedback on the following names:
Flora
Martha
Petra
Anya
Middle name to be Mary.

If it helps at all my other children are called:
James
Erica
Samuel

Many thanks to anyone who takes the time to reply Grin

do you really want 2 girls names ending in " a"

Practice saying " Well my daughters "Erica and xxxa are in the show/over there/visiting later"

For instance Erica and Anya is a tricky combo with all the a's . Erica and Flora is nicer but a bit "matchy" whereas your boys names are a lovely combo but both individual.

They are all real names though and properly spelled so ultimately go for what you love. Practice saying them out loud though-you'll do it a lot!

I love love love martha! Really not keen on flora, its just butter isnt it!

I love flora! Also really like Anya from your list. Agree with other posters, Martha Mary is a bit too much!

Love Petra, but think Flora sounds really good with your other children's names. Wouldn't have Martha Mary.

Lol at Martha Mary, would have to opt for may if Martha!!

I love Flora Smile

I also really like Martha,I think either will be fine with your other DC names.
