I've always loved the names Zoe and Emma but can't use them. Also love Sophia but no one else does (I dislike the name Sophie though).
Want something fairly classic But not to old fashioned (e.g Beatrice, Susan etc).

And Noelle. If I had a Xmas baby it would be Noelle. Love it.

I regret my DD's name. Blush

I wish I'd chosen Isabelle, Clara or Freya.

I'd go with either Elspeth or Olive or possibly Madeline (but I can't make my mind up if I like Maddie or not) so probably not your style

Georgiana

I'd call a daughter Athena, Artemis, Cosima, Ophelia, Sorrel or Xanthe.

Probably a good job I'm not likely to have one as I'm not sure she'd thank me!

I like Zoe and Emma too!

Currently pregnant and about to find out what we're having, and for girls I like (in addition):

Chloe
Lily
Samantha
Nora
Cora
Kate

... It's going to be a long process of elimination.

Wayfarersonbaby · 04/06/2017 01:26

Helena, Juliet or Katherine.

SuperBeagle · 04/06/2017 01:22

I have two DDs named Emilia and Lily Rose. If I were to have a third, I'd call her Arabella or Seraphina.

LorLorr2 · 04/06/2017 01:18

Hmm. What do you think of: Ella, Chloe, Maya, Naomi, Niomi?

LBOCS2 · 04/06/2017 01:04

Claudia, Jemima or Isolde.

We have two DDs and DH vetoed all three of my favourite names Sad

AvaCrowder2 · 04/06/2017 01:02

Sarah, Jane, Mary or Elizabeth.

I like Alexandra, Victoria and Charlotte too.

Sadhbh.

How funny - I have an Emma and if DS had been a girl he'd be Zoe.

Other names I like were:
Katie
Josephine
Hannah
Meredith
Abigail
Charlotte

implantsandaDyson · 04/06/2017 00:58

I have 3 dds - one of them is called one of the names you like- although we spell it differently - with an f.
If I was to have another daughter I'd call her Nina. I do love Anna.

The reason for the odd spelling of Sofia is because we got married at a chapel called st Sofia in Greece. I like the traditional spelling though!

rhodes2015 · 04/06/2017 00:42

Due a little girl next month, she will be Nelle Sofia.

jmh740 · 04/06/2017 00:40

I've always loved the name Iona for a girl, oh fell out with his sister fiona when I was expecting and said Iona was too similar to fiona so I couldn't use it.
