C-section tomorrow and still no idea on what this little lady’s name is.

What’s your vote?

Thanks in advance 😊

I love Nancy

BrassyLocks · 13/04/2020 18:22

Etta Grace is lovely. I was going to vote for Etta as it reminds me of Etta James, classy and talented. Congratulations Flowers

Congratulations, lovely 🥳

Yaaaay! Sad about Pearl but Ettie Grace obviously suits her! Glad you got to use one of your choices in the end OP - quite right too! @Sheshallbenameless1 ❤️

JiltedJohnsJulie · 13/04/2020 15:27

Sorry, only just seen your update. Congratulations, that's a beautiful name SmileThanks

Riv12345 · 13/04/2020 15:22

Awww great choice!!

My favourite right from the start.
Gorgeous middle name too.

Enjoy your new little bundle 😬

Do not use April, every one I've ever known has had to put up with Ape jokes at one point in their lives.

Does the little lady have a name yet OP? Grin

MollyPea · 12/04/2020 20:03

Although lovely, all of these are going to be the most over-subscribed girls names of 2020 I fear.

LotusClover · 12/04/2020 16:52

Congrats! 💕

I really think you should choose April. It's pretty, effeminate, timeless, and it goes well with your DD1's name Sylvie. Pearl is a bit stripper-ish and won't age well. I can only picture Nancy on an older woman, and Etta looks and sounds a bit rough. April is perfect!

Whichever name you choose, good luck! xx

Etta! Beautiful and we would have called our dd that but our friends had nabbed that name first.

Whatsyourflava · 12/04/2020 13:51

I really LOVE the name Pearl and wish it was my name tbh !

TempsPerdu · 12/04/2020 13:43

Congratulations OP! DD is Greta with nn Ettie/Etta so I have a soft spot for that one. But Nancy is lovely too. My vote would be for either of those.

Pearl is quite nice but I see it as more of a middle name for some reason - I think because it’s one syllable and sounds awkward with some surnames? Not keen on April or Olive, and I think Ada has the potential to get very popular (the new Ava?).

Riv12345 · 12/04/2020 13:39

Eden is quite nice 🤔

MyNameHasBeenTaken · 12/04/2020 12:31

April always seems like a happy smiley name to me.
Etta is lovely too, as long as you pronounce t properly. Eh-uh is not good
Olive is a refreshing change from Olivia, but getting more popular now
Pearl is my aunts middle name. She is in her 50s and hates it. It was old fashioned when she was given it (according to her) and it's even worse now .
Nancy is ok. I was shocked to hear a baby Nancy a few years ago. But it has grown in me. Quite sweet.

Glitterbubbles · 12/04/2020 11:21

April is beautiful

SE13Mummy · 12/04/2020 11:20

Ada is fabulous, makes me think of the mathematician Ada Lovelace, and is a lovely match for Sylvie.

Whatsyourflava · 12/04/2020 10:42

Greta nn Etta?

Whatsyourflava · 12/04/2020 10:38

Martha?

Whatsyourflava · 12/04/2020 10:37

Jemima?

Whatsyourflava · 12/04/2020 10:37

How about Edith nn Edie?
Clementine nn Clemmie?
Margaret nn Maggie?
