I have just found out that we are expecting a girl! I have a 2 year old son called Henry and am trying to come up with some ideas for girls’ names that will go well...

Something traditional but not too commonly used?

I have a Henry and a new baby Margot
So obviously I am bias 😍😍
Had no idea how popular it was until I looked at mumsnet
Everyone adores her name and tells me how unusual it is??

Other names we liked were
Pearl
Vivienne
Mabel
Annabelle
But I've always known any daughter of mine would be a Margot! Wrote it in my diary when I was 14 🙈🙈

Some really nice suggestions, thanks everyone!

I really like Margot and Matilda but feel like they are extremely popular at the moment. Martha is lovely too so that’s definitely going on the list! Seems like maybe I like names starting with M.....Grin
