Baby girl is here... she needs a name! Edie? Thea?

Last night I started a thread about needing a name for my baby as I was 36 weeks pregnant. In the space of 24 hours, I've had my baby! She decided to arrive at 36+4, at 14:32 after just 4 hours of labour!

The names I had thought of for her just aren't suited to her at all.

Her middle names are Frances Bluebell. Both names are incredibly important to me. My mum is Frances and her dad was Frank (just Frank, not Francis). I have started loving Thea for her and then my mum suggested Edie, which I love also, and Edwina was my mum's mum so would honour her. So now I think it's between these two...

Thea Frances Bluebell
Edie Frances Bluebell

Congratulations!

Edie looks like a nickname for Edwina or Edward. Is it pronounced Ed-ie?

Congratulations. Edie is lovely, and I’m glad you’ve kept Bluebell. Look after yourself, sounds like you’ve had a hard time of it.

MrsTerryPratcett · 10/02/2019 20:11

Hello baby Edie! Glad you're spelling Bluebell correctly now! And haven't caved!

AdaColeman · 10/02/2019 20:05

Edie is lovely, and goes well with your middle name choice, but I also love Edith with Edie as a nn.

Nonameyet1 · 10/02/2019 19:58

Congratulations on your new little Edie.

I was just coming on to say my girls are called Thea and Edie so what lovely taste you have.

gh16 · 10/02/2019 17:59

Wowserme · 10/02/2019 13:15

She is beautiful and Edie is a beautiful name for her.
Congratulations! Hope you are feeling better now. X

Congratulations OP! Thanks What a lovely surprise - hope you are doing well

100% Edie - could be short for Edith, which I know one of. It's pretty, unusual but still quite classic. Think it works with your middle names too Smile

Edie, definitely. Congratulations!

If you did want a birth certificate name then Eluned Edith Elowen Enid Elodie Meredith but although I’m someone who’d always have a ‘proper’ name on a birth certificate I think this generation that may even be the minority & I can’t see it being a problem to just use Edie.

Bumblebeesmum · 10/02/2019 10:51

Eden is also cute & could easily be from Edwina

Bumblebeesmum · 10/02/2019 10:49

I love Thea! But the family significance of Edie pushes it to an equal place for me.
Have you considered Winnie for Edwina? I think that’s cute but I tend to be out of sync with everyone on here so who knows !
Anyway congratulations !

Icklepup · 10/02/2019 10:08

Aww, Edie Frances Bluebell.. lovely!

VoyageInTheDark · 10/02/2019 09:04

Congrats! Edie is a lovely name 😊

Welcome to the world Edie Frances Bluebell and Congratulations MamaC.💐

stellarfox · 10/02/2019 07:08

Congratulations! Love Edie (and Thea was a nice option too!) I’d probably go with Edith on the birth certificate

Peachbubble · 10/02/2019 06:59

Congratulations! She's definitely an Edie!

MerryMarigold · 10/02/2019 05:25

Congrats. I was coming on here to say Edie too. It's lovely that it had a family connection too. I think it's really important to give kids roots in their families.
