Down to 2 girls names

64 replies

Hi,

We have been struggling with girls names. I think we are currently down to a final two:

Jasmine

Wren

Although still don't feel 'set' on either of these. Which do you prefer? Or other suggestions?

I also like (but OH doesn't): Imogen, Matilda
He likes (but I don't): Harmony, Annabelle
Would probably rather avoid ie/y names as our son already has a name ending like this.

Wren makes me think of kitchens.

clpsmum · 17/07/2020 08:18

I live both and would use both! Jasmine wren though from your list I adore Matilda and that would be the winner for me

Jasmine.

To me Wren is like Blackbird or Thrush - the name of a type of bird, not a name for a person.

Jasmine with Wren as a middle name?

Mother names:
Millicent
Freya
Zinnia
Juliette
Faith

Thank you. I don't like Annabelle because I went to school with a really snobby girl called it, and I can't get over the connotation.
My concerns are that Jasmine is a bit Disney? And Wren maybe not very feminine or a bit 'out there'?

I like Alana, but we have a close male relative called Alan who we're not that keen on so it's a bit close! Evelyn would end up an Evie and Emmeline a bit too frilly for me - but thank you for the suggestions.

I know 1,000 Jasmine's so I'll go for Wren or Imogen

I like Wren a lot has a similar feel to Fern.

Unfollowtherules · 17/07/2020 07:47

I like Imogen and Annabelle!

Jasmine is ok but not overkeen and I don’t like Wren at all.

Jasmine is sweet. I don't understand the love for Wren. It's a weird name. Lovely for a little bird only.

OhMyDarling · 17/07/2020 07:25

I like Imogen and Annabella

PlantPotting · 17/07/2020 07:24

I love love love both your names!!!
Not helpful but I really can't pick. I'd be very happy if either of those names were mine

angelaEhen · 17/07/2020 07:24

I like jasmine, not sure about wren

guineapig1 · 17/07/2020 07:21

If pushed I’d pick Jasmine.
I much prefer Imogen or Annabelle though

What about Evelyn or Emmaline?

IggyAce · 17/07/2020 07:11

No help as I like both Jasmine and Wren, but if pushed I’d choose Wren. My DD is Imogen other names we considered/like:
Alana
Adelaide
Evangeline
Romilly
