Just found out we are having a baby girl after two boys and I’m all into pretty girl names!! If you’d had a girl what would you have called her? Or what’s your favourite ever girl name?

DD4 was to be Isabella (family name with significant meaning) until a scan showed a willy and we got a DS (was really hard to name him you would think it would be easy after 3 girls)

@xprincessxjanetx

I have an Amelie Grace and a Violet Elizabeth Amanda (Amanda after my DM).

If Baby #6 is a girl I like Charlotte, Elsie, Jessica, Emma, Natalie, Madeleine among others.

My imaginary DD2 would probably be Violet Elizabeth. Sometimes I think the Jyst William connection is too much but then realise a) it is in my head b) only for people older than about 50!

There are some gorgeous names on here that are complete food for thought.

The day before we had ds, dh and I finally agreed on Harriet nn Harri or Veronica nn Ronnie.

Although over the past 2 years dh has said he now dislikes them both 🤣

MumofSpud · 31/05/2021 23:25

My list for imaginary DD2:
Etienne
Isla
Iona
Vivienne
Violet (although this is DD1's middle name)
Eva / Eve

@Awwlookatmybabyspider

Esmay. (I'd spell it that way so people didn't pronounce it Esmee.
I have an Esme (pronounced Esmay) but she is often called 'Esmee' so I agree with your spelling! (Or Esmae?)
