Hiya All,
I am a soon to be single mum as my partner left soon after I told him I pregnant.
My due date is the 2nd of July with a girl and I have no names- I like names that not many people use.
I do have some names i like
Maisie
Lily
Autumn
Grace
Christina
Evie
Maddy

I really like Autumn as a first name and would consider putting it with Grace or Lily as a middle name. Autumn Grace and Autumn Lily are both really nice, but as PP said might be more appropriate for a baby actually being born in the Autumn

Not so sure on the others, Evie is very nice and was one of my favourites but has become so common now, for that reason I think I would avoid it.

I personally prefer names that are only names of people, and not things, so I don't like Autumn (somehow, even more so if not being born in the Autumn).
The same applies (to a lesser degree) to Lily and Grace.

Lily has been quite popular here over recent years too.

With Christina, be prepared for it to be shortened... Chris, Chrissie, or Tina. I like all of those but it might help rule it in or out if you like or don't like those shortenings.
I think of Maddy as being a shortening, not a name on its own.

So I'd go with Maisie myself.
