Ideas for baby girl Shaw's first name

34 replies

247otter · 06/07/2016 20:56

Hello mums, hit me up with ideas for girls names please! I'm struggling to think of names I like that go with our surname (Shaw).

Discounted so far, even though I like them as first names are:

Isabella (would be shortened to Izzy, and Izzy Shaw sounds like a question!)
Ella (don't know why but makes me think of an American saying 'hella sure')
Orla (too many 'or' sounds)
Charlotte (a mouthful)

Thanks in advance

Meredith - middle name For Grin

In all seriousness, Meredith Shaw is lovely Smile

We have an Alice Shaw :) quite a classic in the same way Charlotte from your original list is... maybe look to royal baby names of the past?

Meredith is lovely.

oooh yes, Meredith is a great name

Also:

Genevieve

As soon as I read the suggestion Meredith I absolutely loved it!! It goes really well with your surname I think.

I had Eleanor in my head before I even clicked your thread - congratulations!

GinIsIn · 06/07/2016 21:49

Isabel was the first thing that sprang to my mind but I see you've discounted Isabella. You could go with Bella or Ella as a NN to avoid 'Izzy Shaw'....

Yes Snoopysimaginaryfriend ! I also LOVE Edie - not as popular as Evie but still really lovely

First thing I thought when I saw your thread title was Elodie.

Congrats by the way!

I second Meredith but I'm biased - our Meredith is seven weeks old Wink we call her Edie which I also think works with your surname
