Going on from the boy thread. I'm 14 weeks so don't know what I'm having yet but I have the feeling its a girl. Only problem is we have a boys list a mile long but only some ok girls names.

I love Teddy, Tyger, Wolf, Fox, Dexter etc for boys but can't seem to find any names like this for girls. Any ideas?

Since you like Tyger for a girl but your OH doesn't, what about Tigerlily? You could call her Tiger, but if she turns out to be more reserved she could be Lily or Tilly.

Tyger is one of the few that ends up on both lists (if i write them) but OH isn't so sure. Love the name Kitty but hate cats so thats off.
Any name i'm not sure of the origin of will be researched to make sure we don't name our kid after someone who wants to sleep with members of their family. ;)
Ahh this is so hard!!

I love Kitty.

I know a Bella which I think is lovely.

Nooo! Why saddle them with such tragic stories? Didn't phaedra kill herself because her stepson wouldn't sleep with her?

I love Tiger / Tyger for a girl.

Coolest name I've heard for a little girl recently is Phaedra (pn. Fay-dra)

I think Teddy would be lovely for a little girl Wink
