DC3/DD1 due to arrive in 6 weeks, after 4MC. I stupidly thought choosing a girl's name would be easy.

DH has come up with Faith (which I like, but bit worried we are 'saddling' her with expectations - we are Christian) Ivy (not keen) Emily (an Emma in the family already) Lucy, Abigail, Martha and Imogen. This is after months of him suggesting patently ridiculous names, so quite chuffed he has come up with something sensible.

I really wanted Miriam Iris but he hates both. Next on my list is Elizabeth nn Libby.

We both like Hannah, Charlotte and Naomi but ruled out due to close family/friends.

Surname is R so no names starting or ending with R/er. Thoughts? Other suggestions?

I like Emily, and don't think Emma/Emily is a problem - they are different names IMO. Lucy is pretty too.

How about:

Elise
Marianne
Holly
Serena
Tessa

Damn! Faith, I meant to say.
Don't call her Fatih, whatever you do.

DenzelWashington · 16/04/2014 15:25

I like Fatih.
I also like Constance and Prudence.

My favorite there is Abigail.

What about Grace Elizabeth?

Faith is a lovely name.

ThatBloodyWoman · 16/04/2014 15:21

Martha is beautiful.

HolidayCriminal · 16/04/2014 15:19

Faith is gorgeous, often wished I'd chosen it (we are not remotely religious).

Sorry baking! just saw your caveat about "Rs" - scrub Clara from my list Blush

NationMcKinley · 16/04/2014 14:40
