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

Juno. Also love Vesper

NotN0wBernard · 15/12/2020 21:26

Stella. It was in our top 3 but my in laws called their handbag dog this name and I couldn't feel excited about it any longer. It's a beautiful, strong, timeless name though.

My baby's name has been on twice, it's very rare I see it on these types of threads.

orangetriangle · 15/12/2020 20:52

Lily -Rose but as I am 52 nearly perhaps not. Nice to see Rebecca here did name joint decision wanted Lily or Grace to out there for my husband lol!!
Lucia would be my brave name

CathyWuthering · 15/12/2020 20:45

I would call her either Margot or Constance.

If I was really brave, Allegra.

Jenifirtree · 15/12/2020 20:08

Martha
Constance
Olwen
Cara

bruisedbutnotbeaten · 15/12/2020 20:04

Rosalind, Winifred, Wren or Joy.

I really wanted Effie if I had another girl.

I also loved Everly and Zaylee but my oh was not keen lol

Parker

My partner gave a hard 'no' when we had our baby so didn't have it in the end!

SionnachRua · 15/12/2020 18:57

Liadán or Carmen.

Jwd8 · 15/12/2020 15:09

Honor or Delilah

theruffles · 15/12/2020 12:10

If I had a little girl tomorrow I'd call her Penny (family name).

My not brave enough names are Etta and Primrose - I think the latter is so pretty but I'd never use it.

LadyLovelyLockz · 15/12/2020 10:32

Maeve
Fern
Penelope (Penny)
Meredith (Merry)

My not brave enough are Allegra and Talullah. Couldn't get either of those past DH when our dd was born!

dingledongmerrilymysky · 15/12/2020 10:22

@orangejuicer me too.. I do like Bronwen but I don't like the female spelling and prefer Bronwyn. Might even consider Cerys.

Anystarinthesky · 15/12/2020 02:09

Clarissa

Elspeth

sorryforswearing · 15/12/2020 01:24

Jasmine
Rosa
Anna

POP7777777 · 15/12/2020 01:21

Penelope

orangejuicer · 15/12/2020 01:18

Sophia is my go-to but I would probably want to think of something a bit more unusual or a Welsh name.

Iminaglasscaseofemotion · 15/12/2020 01:15

I'm due mine in 6 weeks. My shortlist is

Elaina
Rosa
Thalia
Romy
Annalise

Probably in that order. Do doesn't seem to be keen on any of them though, but he chose the last ones name and he's getting to use his mums name as her middle name so screw him 😉

grassisjeweled · 15/12/2020 01:14

Also adore Susannah but NOT Susie

grassisjeweled · 15/12/2020 01:13

Esme.
Mallory.
Astrid

xmasnc2020 · 15/12/2020 01:12

If it was up to me alone Elizabeth Irene

Joint with DP would be Charlotte Lindsey or Alessia June

My brave choice would be Livia or Frances, love Frances but not keen on inevitable nn Fran

elp30 · 15/12/2020 00:15

I name my only daughter after my mother and father.

If I had a daughter tomorrow, I'd name her after my grandmothers
