Bloody hell. Is this the most you've got going on in your life? Why resort to Mumsnet to help you choose the name your daughter will be given? Pick it yourself!

floatingfrog · 10/05/2017 21:58

Jane.

DramaAlpaca · 10/05/2017 21:56

Constance Jane is beautiful, so I'm with your DP on that.

I also really love Evangeline Jane.

Juniper Jane is cute and quirky. She'd end up being called Ginny at school though but I wouldn't mind that.

Yep - DP's ideal name would be Constance Jane I think!

I personally admittedly really like Marina.

Marina Plum? Marina Constance, Marina Juniper, Marina Victoria, Marina Felicity, Marina Fenella, Marina Hero, Marina Ismene... It's just a really pretty name imo :)

Constance Jane

Martha is lovely but not as good as Clementine 😀 wouldn't go with Marina though... And I don't think Juniper either....still like Juniper .....not Jane

Martha Evangeline sounds good as does Martha Constance . .

Pengweng · 10/05/2017 21:07

I know a little girl called Lillia and i love it. Assuming you would pronounce the same way?

ThreeForAPound · 10/05/2017 21:05

Juniper is atrocious. Jane is boring.

Evangeline is lovely. So you win.

CricketRuntAndRashers · 10/05/2017 21:05

I personally do really like January Jane :)

ineedamoreadultieradult · 10/05/2017 21:03

Juniper Jane Surname is a fantastic name!

Haha, I was merely jesting 😌

CricketRuntAndRashers · 10/05/2017 21:02

That may have been a bit of an overreaction. Blush But I personally really don't like Martha Jane!

CricketRuntAndRashers · 10/05/2017 21:01

No! Not Martha Jane!!!!

Martha Jane?? Grin Definitely a scullery maid name, but perhaps that's no bad thing 🤔 Ha!

Dislike all of them!

OP posts:
CricketRuntAndRashers · 10/05/2017 20:56

I guess it is. But I actually quite liked that. ;)

Martha Honor?

I prefer Martha to Victoria I think - find Victoria slightly dull

OP posts:
CricketRuntAndRashers · 10/05/2017 20:28

Victoria Lilias?
Lilias Victoria?

Victoria Honor? Honor Victoria?

Mothervulva · 10/05/2017 20:27

I find it strange that people come on name threads to say 'dreadful, don't like any of them', when the OP has said this is the list. Surely you say either:
A. which one you like most.
B. a suggestion of some other names the OP might like.
That's it.

CricketRuntAndRashers · 10/05/2017 20:27

Victoria is nice (imo) :) It was one of our top 5 names for DD2... (currently narrowed it down to 2)

mrsBeverleygoldberg · 10/05/2017 20:26

I think it will be pronounced Lilliarse, by kids at school.
It's such a responsibility choosing names. I like Evangeline and Constance.
