Which of these names do you like for a girl? I already have a Eva and a Isaiah. Feel free to criticise, suggestions are also welcome!

I really like Eadlin, and you could nn her Edie - but would people mishear it at Evelyn?

foragogo · 04/01/2016 16:58

My chld went to nursery with a Princess and they used to read a book called The Princess where everyone took turns being the Princess so Princess became Princess Princess which really confused my son. He asked me once is her name Princess Princess Princess? And they also put. Her name peg next to a a boy called William so it said Princess William :). So its a no to Empress for me. all those Princess/queeny names sounds like names for weird breeds of thorough bred cats to me as well.

It would be pronounced eed-lin.

How is eadlin pronounced?

Eed-lin or ade-Lin?

I like it as eed-Lin.

Gaelic origin?

Empress is too similar to impress, as well as all the peerage connotations.

Italy seems more boyish.

Amelle is ok, but seems like Amelie but not finished.

SkyShadow · 04/01/2016 12:06

I've remembered where I heard Eadlin before. A book called The Heir by Kiera Cass. The rather bratty crown princess in that is called Eadlyn.

ObsidianBlackbirdMcNight · 04/01/2016 12:02

Where have you got empress from? Italy is also stupid. Eadlin is not very nice. Amelle is a lovely name but it's Arabic in origin not French.

Sofiria · 04/01/2016 11:53

How is Eadlin pronounced?

I'm not keen on any of them, I'm sorry to say. Armelle is the best of the bunch. Please not Empress. I taught a little girl once called Princess and while she was a lovely child, the name confused her classmates immensely.

Busyworkingmum71 · 04/01/2016 01:08

Empress is awful, just awful.

Italy, nope.

Armelle okish but Amelie better.

Eadlin not bad. Niamh is nice too.

irie · 04/01/2016 00:51

Go for empress

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 04/01/2016 00:48

Amelle is nice. Or Amelie.

NeedsAsockamnesty · 04/01/2016 00:30

I quite like Eadlin

BackforGood · 03/01/2016 23:55

I don't like any - but can you tell me if any of them have any cultural significance for you?

grumpysquash2 · 03/01/2016 23:50

I'm sorry OP, I am not keen on any of your suggestions. But Eva and Isaiah are both gorgeous. As they are both Hebrew names, how about one of these to make a sibling set:

Rachel
Ruth
Naomi
Dinah
Talia
Maya

Borninthe60s · 03/01/2016 23:16

They're all ridiculous!

BertrandRussell · 03/01/2016 23:05

Presumably Empress is a joke?

manicinsomniac · 03/01/2016 22:36

Definitely not Empress! What a name to have to live up to.

I like Eadlin, and Italy has a pretty sound but I'm not sure it's really become a name as well as place like lots of other places have.

Not keen on Armelle but it's ok.

PenguinsAreAce · 03/01/2016 22:20

Eadlin.

How about India?

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 03/01/2016 22:16

Eadlin. Sounds like an anti biotics
Armelle. Sounds like a contraceptive pill
Empress is nice but she'd have to be able to carry it off.
Italy. I like. After all there are lots of children named after countries aren't there. But the only thing is. Italy would have to mean something to to you . ie where she was conceived. Where you got engaged, yours and your parnters first holiday destination for example.

Armelle is French I believe, maybe I should have a rethink then.

elQuintoConyo · 03/01/2016 22:10

Armelle - isn't she a character in My Name is Earl?

Italy and Empress definitely not.

Eadlin is growing on me Smile

Duckdeamon · 03/01/2016 22:10

All terrible but empress and italy are the worst.

PurpleDaisies · 03/01/2016 22:09

I really don't like any of them. Sorry about that. Eva and Isaiah are great names though.

ThenLaterWhenItGotDark · 03/01/2016 22:08

Italia exists as a girl's name, in Italy obvs. It's very frumpy.
The others sound like air fresheners. Your other children have classic traditional names, none of your suggestions would go with them.

SuckingEggs · 03/01/2016 22:08

sorry, not keen.

SirChenjin · 03/01/2016 22:07

How are you pronouncing Armelle?

Forget the rest - pregnancy hormones have clouded your judgement Grin
