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! They are both beautiful names! Adorable. Thea is my favourite.

I’m not a fan of Thea, I think Dorothea is better.

I really like Edie.

Ooo I was on one of your other threads, I love Thea (Theodora) I think it's just beautiful.
Congratulations!

I like Edie with the middle names.

Meant to say... CONGRATULATIONS!! Flowers

Edie, congratulations!

CoatTails · 09/02/2019 22:57

Love them both!
If initials are important to you, it’s worth knowing that ‘TFB’ is a common acronym for ‘too fucking bad’.

My preference is Edie anyway 😁

Another vote for Edie, a fine strong name.

Thea is a bit wet in comparison.

Edie. Congrats on the birth of your daughter Smile
