Help - I hate all girl's names!

131 replies

Plateofcrumbs · 28/05/2014 02:31

I've been through the baby name book from beginning to end and not a single girl's name really appeals to me (conversely I have plenty of boy's names shortlisted).

The closest I've got to names I like are Ada, Erin, Robin. Names which are strong, not fussy a bit like boy's names

I really don't like common names like Clare, Sarah, Liz
Or long fussy names (anything with three or more syllables is out unless there is a strong nn).

Any ideas?

I’ll keep these names in mind for any future female pets. Or maybe grandchildren 😂

Why did you post on a thread that is 10 years old? @itsmeiguess

As well as being 10 years out of date, I had a boy, and then another boy, so the issue never came up!

I'm exactly the same. For my first pregnancy, I eventually chose Erin (but wasn't fully sold on it) for my girl's name but we ended up with a little boy. We are expecting again and again, are struggling for a girl's name. I've even gone off Erin now. It's hard as DH and I are both in education so lots of names are ruled out immediately. I feel it's another little boy we are having so hoping it won't be an issue!!!
