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?

I had 3 boys but if I had a girl tomorrow she'd be called Anna or Mairi (pronounced Mah-ri it's Scottish gaelic).

Ooo I love Violet, Ivy, Zoey and Kaylee too but it would have to be spelt Kaylee

@Awwlookatmybabyspider

My DD is Molly.

If I had another girl I'd call her one of the following names.
Pull up a chair because it is a long list.😂😂😂
Briony. Elsa. Elise. Faye. Gracie. Nevaeh. Tansy. Courtney. Violet.
Keira. Saskia. Shannon. Abbie. Izabelle. Iris. Pearl. Kristen. Rosabelle.
Hannah. Hayley. Katie. Kayleigh. Azaria. Eden. Amity. Elizabeth
Liza. Mabel. Linda. Teresa. Jovie. Cassie. Callie. Michelle. Angel. Chloe.
Emily. Zara. Lucy. Bridget. Olive. Vanessa. Maud. Sybil. Nicole. Nerys.
Victoria. Cora. Cara. Kendall. Kenzie. C

My dd is a Molly too

I’ve seen plenty of scorned posts about the name Molly. Apparently it’s a cutesy name and not a real name. It should be Margaret shorted to Molly Hmm

Holly or Felicity.

I've recently grown fond of the name Belle - I just think its really pretty.

StiggyZardust · 31/05/2021 14:11

Matilda

Terrazzo · 31/05/2021 14:09

Either:

Leonie
Sidonie
Adelaide
Zara
Zoe
Gabriella
Alyssa
MALLORY is my favourite name but I just couldn’t because of Mal = bad.
Hazel, Hayden, Heidi but can’t with our surname

samandpoppysmummy · 31/05/2021 14:09

My DD is called Poppy Amelia. If I'd had another girl, she would have been called Jemima Lucy.

Crockof · 31/05/2021 14:06

Tara, although in my head I love Claudia and Lucia people wouldn't pronounce them properly and it would drive be batshit.

Tara is simple and sassy , would also consider Clara

Iloveyou3x · 31/05/2021 14:05

Love Esme as a name ❤️

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 31/05/2021 14:00

Esmay. (I'd spell it that way so people didn't pronounce it Esmee.

Rosehassometoes · 31/05/2021 13:59

Lara
Rosalie
Anya

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 31/05/2021 13:57

I had two DSs so we never had to use a girl name, but DS1 was going to be Carys and DS2 was going to be Natalie!

Temple29 · 31/05/2021 13:42

We would have picked Aubree for a girl.

Also have two boys. Huge congrats 😊

BertieBotts · 31/05/2021 13:39

No not yet, DH and I can't agree on what we like. We are going to take a shortlist into hosp and see what he looks like.

I love Lars and Idris but I think he will most likely end up being called Alex :o Which is also lovely. DH is set on Niko, though, which I don't really like.

MisgenderedSwan · 31/05/2021 13:36

Antigone - always loved it

Iloveyou3x · 31/05/2021 13:35

@BertieBotts as a mom of two boys also I think girls names are definitely easier!! Do you have a name picked for your third boy? Congratulations!! A little band of boys will be adorable Smile

I like Anya and Tessa too

BertieBotts · 31/05/2021 13:33

Aurora is lovely as well.

BertieBotts · 31/05/2021 13:33

Luna, Astrid, Sofie, Seren or Ingrid.

I love so many girls' names! Sadly I am having my third boy :o
