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).

I have a Sophia, I think it's a lovely name and one that suits all ages.

Juliet

I also love Iseult or Isolde

There is a kid in my daughter's grade who is called Cordiana and I love it.

Hazel

DramaAlpaca · 03/06/2017 23:46

I'd call her Emma, but I see you can't use it. I couldn't either, I had all boys.

RJnomore1 · 03/06/2017 23:44

Lydia

BewareOfTheToddler · 03/06/2017 23:44

If DS had been a girl, he would have been Martha or Elspeth if I'd had my way. Can't use Elspeth any more but others which would make my shortlist include:

Gabriella
Madeleine
Alice
Louisa
Lara
Eloise

Names I would have liked to have used for my dd's. But didn't because dp didn't like them.
I would have liked dd1 to be Elizabeth.
Would have liked dd2 to be tiffany.
Bianca from eastenders ruined to name for him.
Even after 6 years I still think she would suit the name

If bump is a girl she will be called Esther.
Other possibles were Ivy and Marina.

Vanannabananna · 03/06/2017 23:13

Kate, Hannah or Rose.

TheHiphopopotamus · 03/06/2017 23:12

Out of the ones already mentioned I love Kitty and Francesca.

Also love Lavender but would worry it would be shortened to Lav, which is slang for toilet where I'm from.

Lemondrop99 · 03/06/2017 23:12

Matilda or Madeleine

(But I'm having a boy!)

Mehfruittea · 03/06/2017 23:11

Rose or Rosie when her hair is in pigtails.
