We know it's a girl, due December!

So far, it's between:

Georgia
Dascha
Marina
Amber

Middle name will be Rose Jude.

Short, two syllable surname that sounds a bit like onion...

Georgia, or Daria which isn't on your list.

Dascha is too like the reindeer, as Pandora says.

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 20/09/2015 23:38

I love Georgia and Amber.

I really don't like Marina I'm afraid, it's a place to keep a boat. There's a reason it's under used.

Dascha is not a name I've heard before TBH, but, yes - a Dascha in December would make me think of Santa's reindeer Blush.

I'm going against the grain with Dascha.

dotdotdotmustdash · 20/09/2015 23:32

Amber is very, very common here. It's a lovely name but there's going to be lots and lots of Ambers around in a few years.

Marina reminds me of this:

NoArmaniNoPunani · 20/09/2015 23:13

Amber rose is kanye west's ex girlfriend

NoArmaniNoPunani · 20/09/2015 23:13

Marina

RedToothBrush · 20/09/2015 22:47

Amber Rose makes me think of beer.

Georgia. A beautiful timeless classic.

ShadowLine · 20/09/2015 21:03

Amber Rose sounds a bit like a description from a flower catalogue to me, as amber is also a colour.

DramaAlpaca · 20/09/2015 21:01

Marina is my favourite.

Very very helpful... That was my worry with Dascha and December too...!

Marina winning here so far, which is excellent, think it's our favourite too!

Forgot to add Dascha makes me think of Santa's reindeer - perhaps not a good idea if due in December!

Georgia and Amber are nice (although maybe a bit 90s - I knew lots born then and in the early 00s) but I think Marina's the best by far.

SmugairleRoin · 20/09/2015 20:46

Dascha - reminds me of a dachshund.
Amber - pretty but not wowing me tbh
Georgia - lovely, nothing wrong with that
Marina - and the Diamonds. But no one her age will know of them. It's nice.

To sum it up: anything but Dascha!

EnglishWeddingGuest · 20/09/2015 20:46

It's quite a personal decision

I'd chose Georgia because it's elegant and timeless - don't like any of the other names

goldglittershitter · 20/09/2015 20:45

Amber is lovely.

WorldsBiggestGrotbag · 20/09/2015 20:45

Georgia

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 20/09/2015 20:44

Marina

Pandora978 · 20/09/2015 20:43

Marina - beautiful, underused and elegant.

RubyGrace17 · 20/09/2015 20:41

I like Georgia best.

RedNailPolish101 · 20/09/2015 20:34

I love Amber X and congratulations xx
