Please help I'm totally stuck on names

37 replies

GriphookTheGoblin · 31/07/2019 18:32

Due DC2 soonish and it's a girl. Already have a 3 year old boy.

COMPLETELY stuck on girl's names, I feel like there are none I like.

I don't like:

Old fashioned old lady type names (Martha, Edith, Dorothy, Iris etc)

"Classic" traditional names (Alice, Catherine, Helen etc)

"Flowery" names (Daisy, Lily, Maisie etc)

Nor do I like many of your standard white middle class child names (not slamming anyone btw because I fall firmly into that category myself, but I don't know how else to describe that category), which round here are Olivia, Florence, Ottilie, Delilah, Isabella

I like Luna and quite like Ruby but my DH hates them both. I also like girls' names that sound like boys' names (Billie, Bobbie, Georgie etc), mainly because I have a name like that myself and I love it, but DH won't hear of that either.

Please help! I feel like I don't like any bloody girls' names!!!

My son's name is Max. Not Maximillian etc, just Max.

I have a 2 year old Amber? Not sure if that fits your criteria but it really suits her.

Your DH probably won’t like this if he doesn’t like Luna but how about Nova?

Zara also sprang to mind - I love love love it. On my list.

GriphookTheGoblin · 01/08/2019 13:11

Some fab ones here thanks so much

I love Robyn. Also really like Xanthe and Lyra.

Agree that Thea, Cora, Erin might fit the bill. Also Annie, Miriam (mimi?)

Wild card style: Evanthe, Athene, Xanthe etc

ZuzuMyLittleGingersnap · 01/08/2019 11:42

Lara
Maya (with the MY-uh pronunciation)
Robyn/Robin, as mentioned by PPs
Esme (with the EZ-may pronunciation)

PrincessLouis · 01/08/2019 11:09

If you like Zoe what about Zara?

barnaclejo · 01/08/2019 05:14

Roberta nn Bobbie or Berta

FenellaMaxwell · 01/08/2019 05:06

Robyn
Frances
Winifred, nn Freddie

HUZZAH212 · 01/08/2019 04:58

Thomasina with nn Tom/Tommy if you like boy sounding names.

PrimeraVez · 01/08/2019 04:53

I like Ruby but there’s a kids show called Max and Ruby!

If we have a girl in the future, I would like to use Liberty (which can be shortened to Libby or Bertie)

HUZZAH212 · 01/08/2019 04:49

Sam would go well with Max. Or - Tilly, Sara, Terri, Jay, Lisa, Jenny, Diane, Veronica, Vivienne, Laurel, Holly, Wendy, Yasmin, Rachel.

HolidaySleep · 01/08/2019 04:36

Robyn. My favourite girls name.

Not flowery or too cutsie, and different from all the Olivia's / Amelia's / Isabella's

FraggleRocking · 01/08/2019 04:25

Lyra or Cora? I find girls names hard too!
