So I found out today at 20 week scan it’s a GIRL! First baby but I have 4 brothers and DH has 2 (boys seem to run in family), skull and nub theory suggested boy and the wedding ring thing swung in circles. So I just assumed it was a boy stupidly. Anyway I’m over the moon of course but I have no idea whatsoever of names. I found girl names really hard. We had the boy name picked out so now I’m stuck.

I really love the name Everly Blush but realise it’s not MN approved so really want to hear your favourite names.

TIA

Anna, Emma, Margot or Raya. But you probably don’t have our constraints!

I love Everly!

My hypothetical DD would be Lara Faith.
It was our girl's name for DS, DH wanted Addison.

I've used my favourites, Miranda and Cordelia .... so Artemis or Jocasta.

Everly is lovely! Take no notice of what people you'll never meet think and go with what you love.
I regret not using Rose as I've always liked it. I also like Amelie and Thea.

I love the name Everly! If I had another daughter tomorrow though, I'd name her Autumn.

@KindnessCrusader Trouble is that such beautiful names are seen to be "posh"! I had boys so didn't use any of them. I wonder if I can influence the names of grandchildren without being seen to be a bad MIL!

shivbo2014 · 31/07/2019 18:30

I have a Sophie I would choose Everly or Cecily if I had another girl!

Please to everyone considering Erin, don't do it! They will spend their entire lives explaining they are not a boy.
