My list

I need a little help narrowing down names. My current list is Matilda, Tabitha or Ada. I have a small problem in that oh doesn't like any of them so suggestions of similar names are also welcome!

I like your choices and your DH's btw! (Sorry - not helpful).

I'm only 15 weeks pregnant but names was the first thing I wanted to be settled on so if we have a girl, she will be called
Daisy Beau Bella insert last name here
(His family has a tradition of four names)
But I think all three would work as first names.

Matilda and Tabitha would both be on my list if I have a girl, love them. Matilda is very popular though, if you want to be different I wouldn't choose this.

I also love: Lydia, Jemima, Cecilia, Anna

I like Mabel, Nancy or Pearl

It fits the vintage thing, but is a lot less popular than just Lily.

Yes I can see why you don't want to be in with the in crowd! I love Arabella, not sure whether that's popular at the moment? I also LOVE Ophelia, however my DH vito'd as he said she will get called "Ophelia-tits". Men 🙄

we have a clashing of taste as im really into old lady vintagey names. i like margot as it's a bit more unusual. ava is nice but there's lots about i think? same with amelia and isobella- nice names but a bit too popular for me (sad i know, but i don't like going with the crowd)
