33 weeks pregnant and had a name for months and now I have changed my mind!

We are having a girl in 7 weeks time. We decided on the name Darcie- Mae (well hubby really liked it and I did too although like other names.) We have been calling her Darcie for months, told everyone thats her name and hubby brought bunting with her name on it!

The other day he heard the name Arabella and I love it.

We need some more names.... I like vintage name, Martha, Edith, Matilda and also Harper.

What other names might we like? Already have a Phoebe and Georgina and a dog called Florence lol

Arabella is a wonderful name. Martha, Edith and Mathilda are good too.

yy to Elizabeth nn Bessie. Has been used as a nn for Beatrice too.

Maya?

The child formerly known as Darcie-Mae has had a very luck and narrow escape!

Have you had a play about on Nymbler?

Legionofboom · 14/08/2014 17:53

Martha is a beautiful name.

Darcie-Mae is not.

Sophronia · 14/08/2014 15:15

I don't like Darcie-Mae at all. Martha would be perfect with your other DDs names.

BackspaceEnter · 14/08/2014 14:11

Darcy goes well with your other DC's names. Please not Darcie-Mae though it's awful.

Darcy Matilda.

FanjolinaJolie · 14/08/2014 10:26

No no no to Harper.

FanjolinaJolie · 14/08/2014 10:25

I think your other daughters' names are lovely.

I think Darcie is OK, not wild on that spelling though. I'm sorry but anything - Mae is awful IMO. Completely overused.

Martha is lovely. As is Matilda

Clarabum · 14/08/2014 10:18

I also second the sentiments above. I'm sorry but Darcie-May is not comparable with your other children's lovely lovely names.
I have a Martha and I love it(obviously).
Other names I love are
Margot
Flora
Clara(obvs)
I liked Elsa before the Frozen fame.
Matilda
Harriet
Edith
These are all lovely. I'd ditch Harper purely for the association with the Beckhams.

rootypig · 14/08/2014 10:18

Martha is a brilliant, brilliant name. I would have used if it didn't clash horribly with stupid DH's surname.

MagnificentMaleficent · 14/08/2014 10:17

Verity
Erin
Francesca
Theodora
Isadora
Leonora

florascotia · 14/08/2014 10:16

Phoebe and Georgina are lovely names.

Arabella is lovely, too - there's also Annabel, Mirabel... Am personally not keen on Edith or Matilda, but they are much nicer than Darcie-May, IMO. Martha is fine, too. Agatha is great!

To go with your DD's names, what about something like Dorothy, Rowena, Sibylla, Miranda, Sylvia, Vanessa, Tatiana, Philomena, Rosalind or Rosamund?

burgatroyd · 14/08/2014 10:06

Bessie is actually the best name here

Doris
Clara
Rowenna
Margo(t)
Felicity
Faith
Flora
Tanith
Marlowe
Bronwen
Lydia
Sidonie
Eleni
Delaney

WienerDiva · 14/08/2014 10:03

I think Darcy on it's own with Georgina and Phoebe sounds fine, it's that Mae bit I'm not keen on.

What about Delilah? Loving Martha btw, my dd is Matilda, so I obvs love that one!

A few more
Penelope
Susie
Josephine/Josie
Agnes

But random I know, just trying to think of ones not already mentioned!Smile

WowserBowser · 14/08/2014 09:54

Your name choices are much more to my taste. In fact i was pleasantly surprised to read them after Darcie-Mae.

Audrey is my favourite girls name ever!

Montsti · 14/08/2014 09:53

Agree with the others that Darcie-Mae is terrible! I do, however really like Arabella & Matilda.

HolgerDanske · 14/08/2014 09:51

Yes like Matilda as well.

HolgerDanske · 14/08/2014 09:51

You could name her Elizabeth and use Bessie for short...

Norway's princess is called Martha Louise. I've always liked that.

FabulousFudge · 14/08/2014 09:51

Darcey on it's own is fine.

Matilda goes really well with your other 2 children's names.

My Georgina's middle name is Harriet!

I thought that was the normal way to spell Darcie lol!

Youve all put me off the name now hehe.

Keep coming with suggestions. Not keen on Fleur and my friend just had a Betsie.

Choccyhobnob · 14/08/2014 09:48

I vote Martha, it goes really well with your other dc names and is a million times better than Darcie-Mae!

HolgerDanske · 14/08/2014 09:47

Oh I don't like Darcy Mae at all, sorry. And it doesn't go with the names of your other daughters. I think it's a good thing you've changed your mind...

I like Arabella.

Also Elodie, Amelie, Isabella, Ottilie.
