I am looking for an unfussy name that works in various languages. One syllable would be good. I like Ros but none of the longer versions, so what about Rose?
Any opinions or suggestions appreciated. Thanks

Zoe/Zoey is also great.

I really live Blythe but we live near a not too nice town called Blyth.

What about Juno?

NapQueen · 02/08/2017 21:53

blink you just put Meg on the bc.

I floated the idea with dh pre kids. He wasnt keen. I adore Little Women so thats my connection with it rather than Family Guy. At about 30 weeks he suggested Meg for a dd. Must be subliminal Grin so I said ooo yes good choice!

NapQueen You have a Meg! Envy I love it; DH said no because of Family Guy (boo hiss)

I also adore Liv but am put off by the popularity of Olivia and people assuming Liv is a nickname for it.

OP I do like Rose - simple and timeless. Maybe a bit bland though?

Other ideas, trying not to repeat any:

Joss
Cleo
Ada
Ida
Vita
Rue
Noa
Cass
Emme
June
Fia
Una
Neve
Fern
Lois
Elle
Zoe
Bea

So how do I get Meg without calling her Margaret or Megan?!

OP posts:
NapQueen · 02/08/2017 21:48

Just go for Meg Kathryn. Who honestly uses a full name? Our dd is Meg alice. I think I may have called her than once in her whole 6 years Grin

Not sure I'd get away with Margaret Kathryn, and it's a bit of a mouthful with our long surname. Perhaps a bit too old/ sensible. Though I do love Meg!

Penny?

NapQueen · 02/08/2017 21:45

Juliet (nn Jools)?

All lovely ideas. I like Jude rather than Judy, and can't use Lucy or Clara. Jane and Emma are almost too sensible somehow, but definitely the right vibe!

Claire and Meg are lovely. See your point about calling her MIL's name but it would be cute. Would Margaret Kathryn not be ok?

PanannyPanoo · 02/08/2017 21:41

Rose is lovely. Tess and Nell are lovely too.

You laugh NapQueen. I did consider this in the past and started a thread on it but was soon put right!
Of course I could call her Margaret, known as Meg, to honour the person I am using the middle name for. But then I'd be naming my daughter the same first and last name as my MIL - that wouldn't go down well with my mum!

What is dd1s name?

pigeondujour · 02/08/2017 21:38

Could you have Margaret for her first name and nickname her Meg?

I did consider Maria for my first dd, but decided I wanted something a bit shorter and bit less christian. I do love it though.
