We have found out that we're having a girl and have started to put a short(ish) list together of names. When I was pregnant with DS we liked loads of girls names but have gone off quite a few and are finding it tricker than expected! Would love to get some opinions on these names. Suggestions also welcome Smile

Matilda
Ferne
Rowan
Felicity
Autumn (won't be an autumn baby)
Nina
Iona
Beatrix
Anya
Harriet

Surname is Lee (so no Belle etc!)

Thanks Smile

I only like Matilda and Anya.

Matilda - love it
Ferne - not bad, but I'm not crazy about it
Rowan - I like this, think it's a pretty name and I like unisex names
Felicity - perhaps slightly old fashioned but I don't mind that, and think felicity is pretty
Autumn (won't be an autumn baby) - don't like at all
Nina - but dated but ok
Iona - pretty but slightly dull
Beatrix - love it
Anya - not keen
Harriet - adore it, one of my favourite names

Matilda - I adore it
Ferne - Ok
Rowan - Ok, but sounds rather masculine?
Felicity - I like it for a grown woman, but can't imagine a baby Felicity
Autumn (won't be an autumn baby) - No, but only because she won't be born in autumn
Nina - I like
Iona - Noooooo, but only because of the Iona institute
Beatrix - I like
Anya - I like
Harriet - I like

Suggestions:
Sarah
Jane
Amelia
Anna
Rosa
Gabrielle/a
Charlotte
