Hi,

We are currently struggling to agree on a name for our baby girl who is due in 9 weeks.

We know we want a rare name as our son already has this and do seem to prefer 2 syllable names.

Between both our lists these are the names we have so far:

Marcie
Orla
Minnie
Nelly

Be great to get your opinions on these or also your ideas too as the only one we currently kind of agree on is Marcie.

Thanks!

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Minnie and Nelly don’t feel like complete names, especially Minnie. Minnie is overly twee and makes me think Mouse and also a twee name for female private parts. I can’t imagine a Minnie as any age except very young child.

I like Marcie and Orla, they feel like real names that will be suitable for a baby, child, teenager and adult.

Nelly is lovely and people will make fun of absolutely anything.

But those aren't rare op, they're very trendy.

Orla it's beautiful x

Orla

Others are not great. Nelly will get 'Nelly the elephant' throughout her life

I like Orla or Nelly. Have you considered Nella? I love that.

Marcie is lovely. How about Marnie

Marcie or Orla for me. Really don’t like the other 2.
