Which of these names do you prefer and do you have any other similar suggestions?

Love Blythe

How about Blanche? Retro chic?

Etta

Etta

Definitely Etta

GaraMedouar · 15/12/2019 10:20

Etta

I love both names but would pick Etta.

I love Etta. It has been on my list before. Blythe is really ugly to my ears.

Blythe is awful

Blythe, entirely because of Gilbert!

JonnyPocketRocket · 15/12/2019 09:55

Both of those are lovely! How about Etta Blythe as first and middle? Unsolicited suggestion that you couldn't possibly have thought of yourself
Blythe also has a lovely meaning; does Etta mean anything?

There’s an Etta at preschool, she’s adorable and I love the name!

MrsNoMopp · 15/12/2019 09:52

Etta is sweet! Blythe makes me think of Corrie for some reason, although I can’t remember the character

Robs20 · 15/12/2019 09:42

Etta!

Hatscarfandgloves · 15/12/2019 09:41

Blythe.
But mainly because of Gilbert.

NaToth · 15/12/2019 09:28

Love Etta. Hippy dippy neighbours have a Blythe. Puts me off.

daisypond · 15/12/2019 09:23

Joy?

daisypond · 15/12/2019 09:22

Out of those, Blythe. Etta is a bit of a non-name.

SundayMorningSun · 15/12/2019 09:21

Prefer Etta.

Briar?
Ada?
Ida?
