Hubby and I had agreed on Rachel Georgia, both names are meaningful too us and we like the sound of Rachel, and nn Rae. But I am due in a week and we have been having 2nd thoughts as it sounds very Jewish to us - not that this is really a big problem but we a not religious at all.

Don't really have many alternatives at the minute but but what do people think of the name HELEN?

Would probably be
Helen Zoe
Helen Heather
Helen Grace

Helen no. Helena no. Rachel yes.

Rachel is much nicer than Helen.

I really like Helen. I think Helen Grace is the nicest of the three. Best wishes with the birth.

Helena is better than Helen

I like Helena too - but I like names ending in A! Rebecca, Louisa etc
Helena Grace sounds lovely.

I knew a Rachel nn Rae. It always felt like a forced nn.

Helen is OK. I like Helena much more.

Or Georgia.
