hi everyone new & desperate mumsnetter here :)
my second baby girl was born three days ago and she is still NAMELESS!!!! this is stressing me out a bit...
we like the name Ingrid but I am not convinced, not sure why? I do really love this name though
I also really like the name Amelie, but is it too popular?
What are your thoughts on Ingrid & Amelie? suggestions that are in the same vein as Ingrid and Amelie (and Violet, which is big sister’s name) are VERY welcome!!
thank you!

Vivienne if you want the same initial.

Marguerite if you want the flower connection.

Love Ingrid, it was on our list.

I wouldn’t necessarily worry about “too popular” THAT much, top names hear days are no where near as common as they used to be

I think Violet and Ingrid sound nice though.

  • should have said not instead of snot!
Shadow1234 · 11/05/2019 16:01

Snot keen on Ingrid - it has a harsh sound to me. Amelie is lovely, but very popular (although that wouldn't put me off if I liked a name).

Edie is a name in its own right.

Congratulations!

Personally I'm not too keen on Ingrid, and Amelie is very popular. How about

Ingrid is lovely, Amelie is quite popular in my area so would avoid it personally. Stick with your gut.

Rosehassometoes · 11/05/2019 14:19

Iris, Mabel or Laurel?
I like Amelie more than Ingrid.
