What would you call her?

Also, is the name your ‘if I was brave enough’ name? If not please tell me them both Grin

I’m hoping to find inspiration because we’ve come up with 3 names and none feel ‘right’.

Thank you Xmas Smile

Gwen. It was my Gran's name and I have grown to love it over the years but 32 years ago I had a Katherine instead (who moans about her boring name which I still incidentally love).

Emilia, Philippa or Willow.

Fenella.

cherrypie790 · 24/12/2020 14:25

Martha after my grandmother. I've no idea why I didn't think of why when our DDs were born and feel quite cross about it - though my 3 DDs have names all from Little Women and I still love them.

I also love Darcey and Scarlett.

MsMarshaKlein · 24/12/2020 14:20

Iris or Imogen. 28 years ago when I was pregnant with my one and only, my ex husband and I each made a list of names we liked for a girl, hoping that we'd find common ground on at least one name........nope, not a chance

. Iris was "an old lady name" and Imogen was "poncey". Admittedly I told him that Nicola and Linda were fine however we were no longer living in the 1960s. It's just as well we had a boy

mistletoeandshite · 24/12/2020 12:38

Seraphina

Chienloup · 24/12/2020 12:35

Or Vivienne.

Chienloup · 24/12/2020 12:33

Teleri, Thora, or Theodosia.

mummyof2lou · 24/12/2020 12:28

Ella or Eloise

Arabella if I thought I was posh enough!

robinshire · 24/12/2020 12:23

Isis?! Isn't that a terrorist branch?!

No actually. Originally the terrorist organisation was ISIL, ISIS was a bad translation given by the media.
Isis is an Egyptian goddess.
