Names for baby girl

15 replies

So baby 2 is due any day now. Could be boy or girl, so developing a shortlist of names for both. Feel reasonably happy with shortlist for boys, but can't find girl's names that feel quite right.

Have 1 dd already - Erin. Not too worried about names that 'go'. On boy list we have Samuel, Benjamin, Thomas, Alexander, Jacob.

Girl's names under discussion include Charlotte, Elizabeth, Jessica, Sophie, Martha, but I feel like I need other ideas... quite like Celtic names, despite having no celtic background!

Help!

Ffion? Or Aislinn (Ash-lin), Cerys, Seren, Lowri, Elowen, Lowenna, Rosen, Katell.... or if not Celtic then Juno, Clio, Stella, Aster, Lara, Phoebe, Lois, Ines

Ah, I missed you have an Erin already - no to Elizabeth, Emily or Eleanor then (same initials are a pain for sisters!). Maybe a shorter choice like Alice, Anna, Sarah/Sara or Isabel. Possibly Julia/Juliet or Lara/Laura too?

I like all your boys list - especially Samuel, Thomas and Alexander (but all your picks are classics with nice nicknames).

Of your girls choices I feel Charlotte and Elizabeth fits best in terms of "classic with a friendly nickname" style (although Sophie and Jessica are okay, I feel Martha fits less well).

Other choices for girls that would fit would be Catherine, Caroline, Eleanor, Emily, Alice, Anna, Alexandra, Sarah, Victoria, Isabel and possibly Rachel?

I like Sophie from your list. Erin is gorgeous by the way. I think Rose, Nina, Lois, Lara, Aoife, Niamh, Orla could go well with Erin.

Martha is a really nice name and goes well with Erin.
