Fern by miles for me!

Grace or Maddi

I'm not keen on the three famous Ferns and I have never met a real life one so associate the name with them.

Lemondrop99 · 24/06/2017 12:22

Fern! Lovely to hear something different, think it's pretty cool too.

17caterpillars1mouse · 24/06/2017 10:01

Fern

Nonameyet1 · 23/06/2017 21:35

Fern. However I imagined it spelt Ferne.

FairfaxAikman · 23/06/2017 19:20

Fern.
Grace is classic but becoming overused. Maddie is becoming far too common.

Lemonnaise · 23/06/2017 19:19

Fern

MoonHare · 23/06/2017 17:34

Fern is loverly and more unusual than Grace or Maddie.

Missyb15 · 23/06/2017 16:53

Fern. I don't like the word 'mad' in Maddie and Grace is ok but not as cool or individual as Fern

harderandharder2breathe · 23/06/2017 16:04

I like Maddie and the only one I know does spell it Madi actually

If you want something a bit less popular then Fern is lovely

NaturWilde · 23/06/2017 15:45

Fern! It was my choice for a girl, but I'm having a boy!

n0ne · 23/06/2017 15:25

Fern! Then Grace. Not Maddie

Grace

OP, you were just the straw that broke the camel's back lol. There's been a lot of Maddy posts on the forum in the last few days.

Jooni · 23/06/2017 11:25

Fern. Simple, sweet and a bit quirky.

Amee1992x · 23/06/2017 10:54

I like Fern

Fern.

Sophronia · 23/06/2017 09:16

Grace. I really don't like Maddie, sorry.

Reow · 23/06/2017 07:51

Fern.

Sick to the back teeth of Maddie. They're everywhere

chipsnmayo · 23/06/2017 07:50

Fern a thousands time over, a name I've always liked, very underused imo.

No to Maddie, although I like Madeline.

Grace is fine, a bit overused though.

brieandcrackers · 23/06/2017 02:57

Ooooooh, all lovely choices OP!!

I'd be inclined to go for Grace. Fern I see as more of an adult's name and Maddie a young girl's - Grace I can imagine as both.

Although if you're basing it on originality Fern would be the winner - not sure I know any besides Britton!!

That's just me though and as I said, all the names are wonderful - congratulations on your new arrival Smile

Dixiestamp · 23/06/2017 01:59

Flipping heck, can someone just spell it Madi, just for variety? (Sorry op- I actually like all 3 of your names, which is no help!).
