Found out we're having a baby girl! We were pretty convinced we were having a little boy so we focused more on boys names oops Blush I've always had trouble thinking of girls names, but here is our shortlist (surname is similar to Jones):

Amelia Eva Jones
Scarlett Eva Jones
Mimi Evelyn Jones
Darcy Willow Jones
Emmy ... Something Jones (Eva doesn't quite go!)

(Eva is DPs grandmother btw but not all names work with Eva) Thanks for your input!

Emmy could be short for Emmeline wh Ch is a great strong feminist name (think Pankhurst).

I hate Darcy, it is to the 00s what Sharon and Tracey were to the 80s.

Mimi can be a nickname for Amelia.

I know of 4 little Mimi's born recently. I think ot could become a new popular one.

How about Penelope?

marmitecrumpets · 23/01/2018 21:59

I love Darcy Willow

Coey2016 · 23/01/2018 21:56

I like Scarlett and Darcy best.

moreismore · 23/01/2018 21:54

Amelia Evelyn? It stops it being so ‘rhyme-y’ which is the only thing that was putting me off! Prob depends how you pronounce the first syllable of Evelyn tho...

EmmaC78 · 23/01/2018 21:48

Amelia, the rest are OK except Emmy which I have an irrational dislike for.

AfterSchoolWorry · 23/01/2018 21:07

The only one I like is Willow. Mimi is cute enough.

The rest are over popular, especially Darcy, don't do it.

Eva, Amelia, Emmy = blah.

Amelia Eva Jones - This is a really nice combo. However if popularity bothers you it's not good as Amelia and Eva are v v popular.

Scarlett Eva Jones - this is also nice, ime Scarlett is rarer as well.

Mimi Evelyn Jones - no, I think of Mimi as a name for a 90 year old, a toddler nickname or a Chihuahua.

Darcy Willow Jones - I like this too. However I did really like the nod to the grandmother named Eva! I think Darcy Eva is nice.

Emmy ... Something Jones - Emmy Francesca? Emmy Hazel? Emmy Susanna? Emmy Willow? Emmy Vivienne? Emmy Rosanna? Emmy Iris?

Emmy could also be a nickname for Imogen, if you like that. I think Imogen Eva is beautiful.

I cant stand Scarlett or Darcy

Fekko · 23/01/2018 21:02

Mimi Evelyn - I worked with one! She was from Thailand. Smoked like a chimney...

Mimi sounds like it should be short for something - Miriam?

greendale17 · 23/01/2018 21:00

Don’t like Mimi at all

Smoliver · 23/01/2018 20:59

I like Scarlett and Emmy. What about Emmy Willow?

Dscarl07 · 23/01/2018 20:53

Scarlett or Amelia Smile

flybabyfly · 23/01/2018 20:52

I love Emmy! How about Emmy Evelyn?

user1472334322 · 23/01/2018 20:45

I love Scarlett, but that's probably because my friend has a 3 year old Scarlett and she's the funniest, most delightful little character. I therefore associate the name with her and her happy personality. She's also ds2's best friend!

Mimi Evelyn is BEAUTIFUL Thanks
