Girls names

I think we've finally decided on a boys name but have a huge girls list which just seems to get bigger! I think I like too many girls names.

Ds is Jonah.

Which do you like out of:
Bethany
Tabitha
Lydia
Rose
Verity
Matilda
Annabel

And probably more that I can't think of. I have a habit of shortening names so they will inevitably get a nn.

Lydia -rose ❤️

blinkineckmum · 16/10/2017 22:48

Funny mix for me as some I really love and others I really dislike

Bethany - love
Tabitha - hate
Lydia - like
Rose - love
Verity - dislike
Matilda - love
Annabel - dislike

The ones I dislike are the ones that to me seem to cute or fussy or frilly. The others, to me are sensible, strong and pretty.

Lydia

DuggeeHugs · 16/10/2017 19:50

I love all of these names! Any of these names would be a gorgeous choice.

Order of my preference:
Lydia (I can't use it, so please use it on my behalf! Grin)
Rose
Matilda (another name I can't use!)
Bethany
Verity
Annabel
Tabitha

PesoisaTool · 16/10/2017 18:45

I quite like Lydia.

What about Jemima, Jessica?

I like Ophelia too for a girl but DH didn't.

We also had - Elodie, Jasmine.

TillyTheTiger · 16/10/2017 18:41

I think Verity and Bethany go best with Alice

AnyaMoondial · 16/10/2017 18:17

I really like all of them apart from Lydia.

Jooni · 16/10/2017 18:12

Love Tabitha and Matilda! I’d go with Tabitha, it’s fab and Tabby is a fun nickname.

NinonDeLenclos · 16/10/2017 16:41

Bollocks to posh/not posh it's not the flopping 1800s.

Tabitha Alice is very sweet.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 16/10/2017 16:36

Tabitha and Matilda.
I give you ;
Jemima, Rosanna and Harriet.

Ahh so many different opinions! Maybe I should just wait and meet her (or him!)

Tabitha was my no 1 choice for ages but a few people mentioned it sounds very posh to me recently and it seems to be a bit marmite. Then again, so is Jonah. Does it go with Alice as this will likely be the middle name after a grandparent.

Rose is classic but it's very over-used. I love Mathilda and Maud is a lovely diminutive.

DarkBlueEyes · 16/10/2017 15:13

Love Tabitha Rose. In fact I wish I'd thought of it! :D

PinkFlamingo888 · 16/10/2017 15:10

I love Matilda best out of those names. I quite like Lydia but have a friend called Lydia who gets Lyd and Lyds a lot and I'm not keen personally.

DramaAlpaca · 16/10/2017 15:10

I like them all with the exception of Tabitha, which I don't like at all.

CakeRattleandRoll · 16/10/2017 15:05

Love Tabitha and really like Rose, although would prefer Rosa or Rosanna. Verity is lovely too.

NikiBabe · 16/10/2017 13:33

Annabel is my favourite

WriteMeBiteMe · 16/10/2017 13:32

Ooh Lydia or Verity for me. But it also depends what works with the surname

Liadain · 16/10/2017 13:29

Bethany - I don't mind this one. Not a huge fan of Beth but it's a nice enough name.
Tabitha - cat. Nope.
Lydia - very pretty
Rose - yes! Love it as a first name.
Verity - great name
Matilda - personally I have only ever known badly behaved ones, so it would be a no from me. Nothing really wrong with it though!
Annabel - fine
Harriet - really dislike

Of your names I like Rose or Verity the most.

TillyTheTiger · 16/10/2017 13:29

They're all lovely names! That probably doesn't help does it

TempsPerdu · 16/10/2017 13:25

Tabitha or Verity for me.

BoredOnMatLeave · 16/10/2017 12:38

Ohh I like them all! I would have Lydia but DP not keen

Balletmummyxx · 16/10/2017 12:33
