If you had a daughter tomorrow, what would you name her?

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

And Joy

joystir59 · 31/07/2019 13:17

I also like Valerie and Mary

Emilia Lin (late MIL was Chinese hence spelling of Lin). However, 3 DS's down the line and having very much had my last one, this is never going to happen.

Everly makes me think of The Everly Brothers. Sorry.
I'd call a girl Elizabeth (Eliza for short).

Ohjustboreoff · 31/07/2019 13:04

I wanted Elodie but was vetoed by DH. I also had Theodora (Teddy) and Bronte but settled on Esmée instead.

TheStakeIsNotThePower · 31/07/2019 13:01

I'd call her "dh your fucking vasectomy failed! "

Once I'd got over the shock I'd call her Miriam. It's my unused name after dc3 was a boy.

DavetheCat2001 · 31/07/2019 13:01

MsSquiz · 31/07/2019 12:52

I love Everly but DH isn't keen.

We are having a girl in December and our top 2 names are Charlotte and Florence

BiBabbles · 31/07/2019 12:49

I think Everly is nice and if you really love it, you should go for it Smile

I always had lists with mine, always struggled to decide until after they were born. I imagine my current list for another daughter would have names like Eveline, Charissa, Celia, Corinna, Silvia, Valora.

usersouthcoast · 31/07/2019 12:48

Jemima

PersianStar · 31/07/2019 12:48

DD was my first choice (Esther) second on the list is Eden.
I could probably name 10 girls... 1 boy I would struggle with.
