Hi all, I'm currently 35 weeks and due on Christmas eve but me and my partner are still struggling for names for our little girl!
Her surname will be Gray and so far we have:

Sophia (partner loves this but I'm concerned she will be 1 of many as it is so popular)
Georgia (my fav - but just doesn't seem as 'pretty' as Sophia)
Holly/Hollie - not sure if this is a bit 'twee' since she is born near christmas
Madeline nn. Maddie - again not sure on this

Any help appreciated!

My favourite is Madeline, but I prefer Madeleine. I like Sophia as well. I'm not keen on Georgia - it seems dated now. All the ones I know are in their late teens or 20s - or Holly. I like Amber, but I'm not keen on Sienna. You've got a good surname. Lots of names will sound good with it.

Georgia!

TokenGinger · 23/11/2018 18:55

My favourites are Amber Gray (I like that it's two colours) or Hollie Gray. I think it needs to be with an ie as Holly Gray looks a bit odd with two ys on the ends.

Georgia Grey is lovely (hopefully she won't end up with the nickname GG!). But Holly Grey is also really pretty and very fitting for a baby born on Christmas Eve/Day. I think she would love explaining her name origins when she's a little girl!

AnElderlyLadyOfMediumHeight · 23/11/2018 05:36

Sophia is popular for a reason. It's pretty much the perfect name IMO. Georgia is having 'a moment', and I think being a place (or rather two places) means it won't travel well.
Madeline is lovely. Holly doesn't work well with your surname.
I'd go with Sophia.

Sungura · 23/11/2018 05:31

Sophia, then Georgia.

moredoll · 23/11/2018 02:14

Sophia, definitely.

Winona1 · 22/11/2018 19:38

Sophia Gray is beautiful.
I would say Georgia is more popular than Sophia?

TheWiseWomansFear · 22/11/2018 18:27

Go for Sophia, it's gorgeous

Shadow1234 · 22/11/2018 16:23

Sienna Gray is a lovely name
Georgia would be my second choice

Erin
Kiera
Leonie
Naomi

RLOU30 · 22/11/2018 16:19

I love holly also like Georgia but prefer Georgina (not that you asked lol)

WishfulSprouts · 22/11/2018 16:18

Georgia by a million miles 👍

Calzone · 22/11/2018 16:15

Georgia Gray is great!

Halfahunnerstillastunner · 22/11/2018 16:14

Georgia first choice then Sophia.

GoodHeavensNoImAChicken · 22/11/2018 16:09

Sophia is lovely (but then all your names are!)

BirthdayKake · 22/11/2018 16:07

Holly

IStoleThisName · 22/11/2018 16:05

Georgia, definitely.

Winterishere2018 · 22/11/2018 14:52

Sophie instead of Sophia? I have a Sophie and she’s the only one in her class

NinjaGoSaysNo · 22/11/2018 14:50

Georgia for sure!

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 22/11/2018 14:49

Georgia is very 90's to me. Prefer Georgina

Sophia would be my choice from your list. I like Sienna too.

Astronica · 22/11/2018 12:52

I like Georgia, Sophia and Holly best, and they all work well with Gray.

Amber and Sienna are definitely too many colours with Gray!

RiverTam · 22/11/2018 12:47

Sophia or Georgia

Madeleine is a lovely name but Maddie really isn't.

Agree that 'colour' names aren't good with Gray, and Holly is indeed a bit twee for a Christmas baby.

ArnoldBee · 22/11/2018 12:45

You haven't considered Eve for her due date then?

starkid · 22/11/2018 12:40

Georgia Gray definitely, sounds great!
I agree Amber and Sienna would make it too many colours
Sophia very popular at the moment.
Holly and Madeline not keen on

Icklepup · 22/11/2018 11:42

Georgia Grey
