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

What’s your vote?

Thanks in advance 😊

Nancy

Pearl Smile

To me Olive and Nancy are old lady names. Of the others I like April the best, I know 3 toddlers called April and all of them are a delight

Whatsyourflava · 09/04/2020 17:27

Oh Olive is just the most beautiful name I honestly SO WISH it were my name ❤️ @Sheshallbenameless1

You can’t predict what anyone will think of any name as the next generation will see names so differently to our generation. Just give her a middle name option too x

blondie87 · 09/04/2020 17:24

Olive is gorgeous!

DorothyBastard · 09/04/2020 17:17

Olive

But they’re all great names, good choices

Sparklypurpleunicornsaremyfav · 09/04/2020 17:14

Sorry missed the name April, my daughter puts it 2nd, I'd put it last sorry

Sparklypurpleunicornsaremyfav · 09/04/2020 17:13

Me and my 10 year old daughter have put them in order
1: nancy
2:olive
3:pearl
4:etta.
Good luck tomorrow x

I love Esther, Alistine but shortened to Ali, and Sally (not that you asked lol).

I think Etta is ok but it depends on her other names.

Still Nancy and Olivia, not Olive for me. Actually April is quite sweet.

NeedToKnow101 · 09/04/2020 17:05

Olivia is much nicer than Olive

NeedToKnow101 · 09/04/2020 17:04

Nancy for me

MyNeckMyBack · 09/04/2020 17:03

Etta or Pearl

mamaAJ · 09/04/2020 17:02

Thanks so much for all the opinions so far. Quite a mixed bag.
I do love Olive but it seems like such a marmite name. Don’t know if I want to lumber her with that in case she grows up to be in the hate camp 🤔

Not being helpful here at all, but I love your list - all such gorgeous names! Hopefully you will just know when you see her - best of luck tomorrow Flowers

Olive or Pearl!!

Nancy I like, but it is a bit like Nasty.

Etta not that keen on... bit like eater... x

Riv12345 · 09/04/2020 13:15

Etta I would say out of them!

Etta with a really lovely middle name.
All the best OP for tomorrow!!

userabcname · 09/04/2020 10:32

I will vote Nancy. I actually like all your names though. Good luck!

Umnoway · 09/04/2020 10:30

Olive.

babynamelover · 09/04/2020 10:27

Olive. I've always loved this since "little miss sunshine"
I like Etta but feels unfinished I think I prefer it as a nn for Violetta, Georgetta etc
Good luck I hope it all goes well and enjoy meeting your daughter, such a special time 😍.

Peachbubble · 09/04/2020 10:26

April is my favourite from your list
