Hi there, I'm on my mums account!! Must get my own my unfortunately wouldn't use it much I don't think Sad

But for the life of me have no idea what name suits my little one. My husband likes the name Gretchen, opinions? I think it sounds a little troll-y??? As in the creature! Grin it's growing on me though, but does it suit her?

We need names asap ThanksThanksThanks

Congratulations!

IMO - children 'grow' into their names, however if you want a 'grown up serious' name (which Gretchen sounds like!), other options I like include:

Penelope
Miriam
Miranda
Agatha
Helena
Faith
Rebecca
Elodie
Beth
Lauren

She's beautiful!

Gretchen seems a bit harsh to me. If you need a German connection:
Lena
Matilda
Miriam
Johanna
Karlotta
Selina
Mara

Or what about these:
Rosemary
Melody
Jasmine
Florence
Alexia
Rosalind
Esmeralda
Penelope

She looks like a Jennifer or a Rebecca to me,
She's a dear little thing.

Awww, congratulations! She's lovely.

Personally I really like Gretchen. Or how about Greta, which is a little softer sounding?

If you like Gretchen, name her Gretchen :)

She's lovely, congratulations.

She looks like a little Macy to me, but Gretchen suits too!
