Her last name is going to be Kihn, which is a really short last name. Our options for right now are

Melissa
Meredith
Maya
Matilda
Melanie
Mia

Which one would you choose? Any favorite (or least favorite) names in the list? ;D

Matilda

Love Meredith.

Cbeebiesrehab · 01/11/2018 14:42

Meredith nn Merry :)

Quite like Matilda too.

starkid · 01/11/2018 14:30

I like Matilda and Meredith.

Particularly dislike Melissa, always have done.

TatianaLarina · 01/11/2018 13:41

Matilda or Melissa (prefer the former in spite of its popularity).

Meredith = dowdy and provincial (if you’re not Welsh).

Disfordarkchocolate · 01/11/2018 13:15

Meridith, I like names people can spell and pronounce but I haven't met anyone with the same name.

Belindabauer · 01/11/2018 13:12

Melissa.

Creatureofthenight · 01/11/2018 12:45

Meredith is lovely and I like Matilda too (both vetoed by my DH for our DD Sad)

Creepyexgirlfriend · 01/11/2018 12:45

Meredith

Def not Mia or Maya.

Zapho · 01/11/2018 12:43

I think Melissa works best with your surname - I love the names Maya and Mia but I don't think it works with it.

PointlessUsername · 01/11/2018 12:30

Matilda.

Another M name i Love is Millicent.

MrDonut · 01/11/2018 12:25

I also think Mia is too short to go with your surname. I think Maya is too.

What's your name? Maya Kihn. It's confusing for people.

I actually like Melissa the best with your surname.

BertrandRussell · 01/11/2018 12:20

Matilda!

hellraising · 01/11/2018 12:19

I would go for Meredith, I absolutely LOVE the name

Melissa best. Meredith worst.

Creaci · 01/11/2018 09:58

Melanie nickname Lanie

wizzler · 01/11/2018 09:07

Madeleine is an m name which might work?

stopitandtidyupp · 01/11/2018 08:07

Sorry loads of Mias too. I think it is too short to go with your surname.

stopitandtidyupp · 01/11/2018 08:06

Is the the Maya a Mya or a May a?

My sd is Maya said Mya. I love it.

Working in education for 15 years. I have came across a few Matildas. Probably one each of the others but not a Melissa. I loved that name as a child in the 80s.

ratherbeshowjumping · 01/11/2018 08:02

Meredith is my fave. Merry is a gorgeous nickname for a little one.

greendale17 · 01/11/2018 07:54

Mia

17caterpillars1mouse · 01/11/2018 07:53

I love Meredith. It's cute and quirky on a child but classy and sophisticated on an adult. I do love it, unfortunately it doesn't sound brilliant with my surname :(

I really like Melanie and Melissa too though I'm sure many will find them dates / a bit 80s.

I don't like Maya

Mia is cute, I just prefer some of the other names

Matilda is nice but every other girl is called Matilda in my area so it's lost it's shine for me

EnglishRose1320 · 01/11/2018 07:53

Matilda or Meredith
