Hi all! My baby is 5 months old and I’m really not sure if I like her name! Long story short, I suffered from PND and PNA and struggled with bonding for the first month and therefore couldn’t find the right name! She’s a beautiful and happy baby so starting to get mum guilt about it! She’s currently 6 months. My friends and family just roll their eyes with it now! Which do you prefer out of the following - ( just your favourites , I don’t need to know which you don’t like)
Emilia (could shorten to Mila or Millie) (birth name)
Lyra
Heidi
Adeline
Iris
Norah
Ava
Thanks in advance - I just want to get it right!Grin

Emilia is also my favourite. I would have said that even if I hadn’t known it was her given name.

Emilia is lovely. Probably my favourite out of your list.

Love Emilia. It's beautiful.
I like Iris and Ava, too.

Emilia was going to be my girls name but we had a little boy. I wanted to use the nickname Millie too. I think it's a beautiful name and a lovely nickname too. Plus it can also have other nicknames that she or her friends may use as she gets older too. Why aren't you liking it now?

I genuinely love Emilia the most out of all those names!

Iris and Lyra would be my next favourites on your list, but neither are quite as lovely as Emilia.

Of those names my favourite is her birth name. I like both nicknames too....also think Emmy is a cute nickname or Mia both could be used.

I also really like Heidi, Norah and Ava.

Good luck to you

The birth name you chose is gorgeous, Emilia. It's pretty, smart and will grow well with her into Adult hood xx
