Struggling with girls name

33 replies

granolacrayons · 25/11/2019 08:03

My due date is in about a week and I cannot decide on a girls name. We are having a surprise, and have decided on Gabriel for a boy. Other boys names we like include Ezra, Charles and Elijah, to give you an idea of our taste.

I can’t decide on a girls name, few we have considered include Athena, Cora and Zadie, but none of them feel quite right. Please could you suggest some alternative girls names that you think we would like?

Thanks everyone. I had a little girl a week ago and decided to go for one of the original names I listed. We went with Cora Isolde.

Gabriel was on our shortlist too, didn't know the sex either.
For girls we had Gaia, Norah, Iris and Melody. Melody was DD4s choice, but it's pretty.

I'd have a Rebecca or Rachael for a girl.
