Hi,

Me and my husband are having our first baby due November. We have the perfect name for a boy but we cannot agree on a girls name. We did really like Niamh before I was pregnant but now I'm pregnant I just don't feel like it fits for this pregnancy.... don't know why, just don't.

Here's a list of the sort of names I like but has anyone got any other suggestions?

Myla
Lena
Emilie
Naomi

That's really about it tbh. I don't want anything common but also not something really out there. We both do like Myla but I'm not sure about people's opinions on it.

Please help. Thanks :)

Thank you all. Myla would be pronuces My-la not mi-la. I don't actually like mila 😂

I think as some comments have said if I like it, it doesn't matter what others think.

In order of preference

  1. Naomi
  2. Niamh
  3. Myla
  4. Lena
  5. Emilie.

All the emily/Amelie/Emilie/Emilia/Amelia names are really popular

Myla - I would pronounce this my la rather than me la (which I would spell Mila), I like both
Lena - like it
Emilie - prefer Emilia
Naomi - like it

All seem quite German to me

If you both really like Myla, no one else's opinion actually matters.

Whatsyourflava · 02/06/2020 09:01

Myla is gorgeous

BeMorePacific · 02/06/2020 08:27

I like Niamh the most off your list.
Myla reminds me too much of Myra (sorry).

I love Myla, I think it’s really pretty and it was on my list.
Love Naomi too but the Ny / Nay correction put me off a bit.

Eleni
Luella
Delilah
Elise
Mila
Emmy
Flora
Ellis

Congratulations! Really like Lena and Naomi.
Is Emilie pronounced Emily? If so I much prefer the Emily spelling but that is very popular.
Myla is ok but I don’t love it.
