So our dd is due in June, we've not spent too much time thinking but here's our list. Would love your thoughts and suggestions!

I quite like names that are a bit unusual without being toooo wacky. I would rather veer towards classic than trendy if it comes down to it. Surname begins with M and I like the alliteration of m for first and surname.

Anyway, I hope I haven't got terrible tastes, everyone seems to be a bit weirded out by my ideas so far. Sad

Marin - Love this, but know it's a bit Hmm
Cora
Cecily – really like but best friends daughter is calledthis , quite like Cecilia / Celie too
Lara
Mara
Wren, again love it but people think I'm weird
Marguerite
Coralie
Elka
Elodie - too popular?

These are so good. I'm actually really like a lot of these suggestions, my long list is getting even longer.

Also great getting feedback on the names we'd already thought of and pleased to see my taste hasn't gone completely haywire. Thank you!

Going with the M's for alliteration:
Melodie rather than elodie?
Maya
Mia
Marina
Martha
Meredith

Or Elkie like Elkie Brooks!? Elka is lovely. Might put that on my list actually!! Grin

Love Cora and Coralie was on my list last time. Celestine is beautiful, sadly very similar sounds to my surname or else I would have used it. Rosalie? Serafina? Marisol?

Love Cora & Elodie (were both on my lists too)

I like all except Elka. Wren is a nice name but I would avoid as it could end up being a bit ridiculous if your daughter is anything but petite and dainty when she gets older.

Myra
Tara
Thea
Macey
Michaela
Freya
Rowyn

I quite like Marin - never heard of it - but think people might think Marion?

Cecily nn Cece is very cool. You would have to ask your friend if she minds, I think.

Love Lara.

Cora is ok.

Don't like the others.

Suggestions:- Dora, Marnie, Flora, Cara, Sashsa, Saskia, Laura.

Alyx80 · 30/04/2016 16:33

Funnily enough celeste was on there but I took it off, I do like it though and celestia is really nice too.

Of those, I like Cecily and Cora best, but prob a bit weird to use same name as your best friends DD.
Not keen on Wren. The rest are fine just not my taste.

Only1scoop · 30/04/2016 16:30

Like Elka

Celestia?
