Girl name help - none we both like

MorgenMuffel · 28/01/2021 17:32

I'm 38 weeks pregnant and we don't know if we are having a boy or girl, so want to get a few potential names sorted before birth. We have a couple of boys names but stuck for girls as we can't find any we both like.

I like Chloe, Charlotte, Natalie, Zara and DH likes Emma, Emily, Lucy. Wise mumsnetters can you help us find some names we both like?! All suggestions welcome. TIA!

Thanks for all the suggestions. Some we love but can't use for family reasons. Current front runners are Lydia and Natalie. Anything similar to those we might have overlooked?

Has Francesca been suggested yet? Think it fits with your other choices.

Zilpha?

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 28/01/2021 22:10

Agree with pp that you seem to like classic names (and I went to school with girls called all your name choices apart from Zara, other names in my classes were) Catherine, Caroline, Alexandra, Elizabeth, Anna, Philippa, Sophie, Amy, Zoe, Victoria, Julia, Sarah, Lydia, Hannah, Naomi, Eleanor, Rachel, Rebecca, Laura, Sarah, Georgina.

Apart from Chloe and Natalie your names are very much in the same vein do I'm sure you'll find something you both love. Congratulations on your imminent arrival!

Avoiding the two outliers I'm going to throw a few more into your pool:
Jennifer
Molly
Laura
Phoebe
Jessica
Ann
Jane
Kiera
Eloise
Louise

Good hunting :)
