My top 15 - what's your favourite from it?

63 replies

haleyalannahxo · 03/03/2014 23:26

I'm a bit skeptic about posting this considering yesterday, but I've left out all hyphen names from my top list, haha.

I currently have 15 names I love for girls, and although I'm not expecting (I will be ttc within the next few years, I hope, currently at uni haha so I'm name collecting for now, but going into childcare, so mum forums are really helpful for me), I would love to know what your favourite off my list is.

I'm not currently looking for any suggestions, so if you don't like any of the names, choose the one you hate the least (Wink) or, just don't comment Grin.

My list right now:

Imogen Delilah Kate
Lettie Ophelia Jane
Beatrice Lavinia Mary
Violet Rosalind May
Elsie May Kathleen
Eleanor Iris Pearl
Florence Eliza May
Jemima Emily Florence
Amy Beatrice Louise
Lillian Elsie Maude
Martha Valerie Elise
Agatha Lily Frances
Lucy Augusta Claire
Maude Ismeria Grace (Iz-mair-ee-ah)
Dorothea Adelaide Mary

Thank you.

Have you given any thought to the fact you may have a boy op? Fwiw i think Imogen is the nicest name on your list.

Callani · 06/03/2014 14:33

Fantastic names - I genuinely like all of them.

I think Florence Eliza May has the best "flow" of a name but honestly any of those work well.

mrsbug · 06/03/2014 13:23

Apprentice and highlystrung, I'd wait and see which of the names suits your baby when they arrive

apprenticemamma · 06/03/2014 10:15

Funny highly strung, we are in a similar situation. Two front runners, chop and change every other day. One had bern the name I loved for ten years but noe become v popular. So stressful. Going to wait for a few weeks after birth to decide, we did this last timeWink

Highlystrungmum · 06/03/2014 09:49

apprenticemamma I'm nervous as hell. We've liked a name for 7 years but another has came into the equation all through my pregnancy & were both swaying towards it. Just thinking if we don't use the name we've always liked will we always regret it? Lets hope it's a boy as that's not as difficult hehe

telsa · 06/03/2014 09:25

Agatha is so fantastic.

PsammeadPaintedTheLion · 06/03/2014 08:58

What's wrong with thinking about names? It was always a fun thing, I found. And still do, despite my family being compete!

Op, I like Jemima best.

KLou1105 · 06/03/2014 00:05

Florence Eliza May love it x

apprenticemamma · 05/03/2014 23:21

highly strung mum what are u thinking? I'm due Friday and we r torn between two girls names. (and am also feeling highly strung) Shock

Highlystrungmum · 05/03/2014 21:40

Wow, I'm due next week & we can't decide on one name never mind 15 each with 2 middle names. You've got too much time on your hands hehe

mrsbug · 05/03/2014 21:14

Florence Eliza may

I like some of the other first names, but don't like the middle names you've picked eg Beatrice but not Lavinia.

It also depends on the surname.

Do you have a boy's name list too?

BTW I think anyone can post on here, unless they are trolling Smile

TodaysAGoodDay · 05/03/2014 21:01

Lucy

sausageandorangepickle · 05/03/2014 20:50

Don't see anything wrong in having a list or opinions when you are not pregnant - I'm never having any more but like to add to the discussions here and see what people are liking, but 45 names - WOW! I don't think my combined DC's 1-3 boy and girl name lists added up to 45!

fideline · 05/03/2014 18:40

Probably should have kept that thought to myself.

(Please don't have daughters, though, frilly twee people)

I like the Florence or the Amy ones

Your Amy one has both mine and dd's names in Grin

pinkgirlythoughts · 05/03/2014 18:09

I had lists like this only longer from the age of about 13. There's nothing wrong with a bit of name-nerdiness, but as someone else said, this board is generally more for people who are actually pregnant, or intending to be soon. Behindthename.com is a great site for people who just like to talk about names, even hypothetical ones. Maybe you'll have more luck there, OP.

Great names, BTW :)

apprenticemamma · 05/03/2014 15:55

No I think you misunderstand me. My point was, as has already been made, that I don't perceive this forum to be for a list of people's fantasy names for a long time in the future possible babies, when there are people out there for whom this is a more pertinent subject. Sites such as name berry may be more appropriate. Obviously everyone's feedback is of interest though and don't believe in elitism or mumsnet being only for mums either. Smile Smile

Didn't see your other posts. It's only a forum. I think naming a child is very important and it's easy to get obsessed by it.

Viviennemary · 05/03/2014 12:16

Violet.

squoosh · 05/03/2014 11:37

You made me use 'really' three times in one post, I must have been amused!

squoosh · 05/03/2014 11:36

Thanks OP, you've really made me laugh! You really do sound 18.

I really don't understand people fussing over middle names, they serve absolutely no purpose. Your name list looks impossibly frilly to me.

apprenticemamma · 05/03/2014 11:31

Bizarre. Has OP considered she might have a boy? Really think this forum should be for those ttc or pregnant needing advice.

JessePinkmansMom · 05/03/2014 02:37

Blimey. Confused

Weird, weird, weird.
