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?

If I had had a DD she would have been either Annie or Hepzibah!

Oh - and I absolutely love Audrey, also. Don't think it is that popular, despite Hepburn's popularity.

catslave · 28/02/2014 17:31

Oriel
Aphra
Neva
Aurelia

Love Juno - not sure H would let another girl in the house, however.

Having read your selection of boys' names, I don't think I can come up with anything daft enough to match those.

If anyone called their kids those names where I live, people would just laugh.

manicinsomniac · 28/02/2014 17:26

I don't think so GemmaPomPom

There's a certain subsection of middle class London society that is intimidatingly cool - the guardian reading, croissants on Chiswick High Street on a Sunday morning, art galleries, fringe theatre and alternative music event attending, slightly hippy-esque, late breast feeding, SAHM type of 'cool mum'. My cousin is one. I'm jealous but afraid!

Mumzy · 28/02/2014 17:24

Io
Calypso
Andromeda

Stateofgrace · 28/02/2014 17:18

Noa
Romilly
Thea
Vada (Vey-da)
Posy
Milla
Cecily
Clemence
Xanthe
Pia
Polly
Arietty
Beatrix
Hope
Mabel
Lydia
Kitty

GemmaPomPom · 28/02/2014 14:57

Surely 'middle class' and 'cool' are mutually exclusive, non?

I like:

Isolde
Marnie
Biba
Sorrel.

aufaniae · 28/02/2014 14:51

Or how about these variants of Barbara?

Bebe
Bibi
Basia
Vavka

aufaniae · 28/02/2014 14:44

diminutives of Margaret!

aufaniae · 28/02/2014 14:38

If you'd like to honour Margaret but not so keen on the name, how about one of these diminutives or Margaret?

Rita
Daisy
Greta
Mairead
Margot
Marenka
Margalo

... and loads more here

Love Felix don't like Felicity lol.
Funny you should mention Barbra and Margret they are our Grandmas names and have been considered. Maybe for a middle name but I don't love either.

So many names I like still not one that I get a gut feeling about but maybe thats a good thing. Wont be disappointed if OH doesn't like any of them then.
