We’ve narrowed down our baby girl names to the following 4.. which names do you prefer?
Open to suggestions for similar sounding names! We seem to like names ending in O or A!

Margo
Alma
Nora
Stella

I like Margo/t but Nora is adorable!

JustAddCoffee91 · 10/03/2021 23:21

I really like alma it's beautiful
My fave name at the moment is Matilda though!

MercyBodle · 10/03/2021 23:16

Margo is my favourite from your list. The Margo spelling is sleek and cool.

Teakind · 10/03/2021 10:15

Margot or Nora for me

mamablondie33 · 10/03/2021 07:04

Margot is beautiful but you need to spell it with the ‘t’.

Alma is lovely. I also like Stella.

strawbmilk · 07/03/2021 21:47

Alma was on my list but DH didn't like it. I recently met an Alba in the playground which I love too

DinosaurDiana · 07/03/2021 21:40

I love Margot.
Stella reminds me of a pint.

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 07/03/2021 21:40

Freda not Fred!

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 07/03/2021 21:39

Stella is gorgeous and fairly underused imo. Alma, Margo and Nora don't sound as nice to me, and seem slightly old fashioned (although I know Margo/Margot is now very trendy). I like similar style Cora and Fred though.

KirstenBlest · 07/03/2021 14:38

Margo - the spelling is fine but Margot more popular
Alma - fine
Nora - I'd spell it Norah. Flamin' Nora and all that
Stella - fine but I'm not keen on Stel.

Stella is the only one I'd consider but i don't love it.

mamawithfive · 07/03/2021 14:38

Like Nora best from your list.

LilyRose202 · 07/03/2021 14:28

We like names ending in 'a' or 'o' too.

Luna
Isabella
Lena
Ember (different ending but it's unusual)

For a boy: Arlo

Quick question though... How would you pronounce Lena?
L-ee-na or Ley-na?

Thanks. Xx

TempsPerdu · 07/03/2021 13:15

Margo is OK but I prefer the Margot spelling. Don’t like the others.

Vera (not keen on this either but it feels similar!)
Cora
Greta
Vita
Sylvia
Alba
Frieda/Frida
Cleo
Olive
Edith
Audrey
Pearl

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 07/03/2021 13:09

Rosa
Flora.
Maura
Lucia
Elsa
Tessa.

Love Stella and Margot - would go for Stella because Margot v popular right now. Can’t stand Alma and Nora.

To me Stella and Margot are sophisticated mid century - the Arne Jacobsen of names; whereas Alma and Nora/h are downtrodden 1950s barmaids.

Other thoughts - Lois, Oona, Cleo, Juno, Zelda, Cora, Greta, Carla, Hero, Lena

As PP I would add the t to Margot or it will be a lifetime of misspelling.

Mackie2020 · 07/03/2021 09:41

I love Alma

FASDE1517 · 07/03/2021 09:40

Love Margot and Norah but not sure on your spellings

Nell96 · 07/03/2021 09:17

Margo - not a fan, quite horsey
Alma - maybe, though reminds me of coronation street character
Nora - love, especially spelt Norah
Stella - it's ok, lager does spring to mind though

How about -

Nia
Neneh
Nala
Cara
Sylvia
Frida
Ada
Mira
Vera
Seren (Welsh for star)

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 07/03/2021 09:10

Not Alma. And agree Margot with the t.

Flora
Dora
Zara
Lara

Quercus3 · 07/03/2021 09:08

I love Stella, wonderful name. Alma is lovely too 🙂

Spied · 07/03/2021 09:01

Stella is the only one I like out of the list.
I also like Sadie which is a similar vibe ( not 'o' or 'a' ending I know)

Macblondie · 07/03/2021 08:59

I like Margo the best out of your list. Smile
