I am 7months pregnant and having a nightmare choosing a name! Me and my partner have narrowed it down to three names...my partner love Delilah however I feel it's a little bit twee? We also like Dulcie and Arabella...just wanted to get peoples feelings on these as having a baby shower Sunday and meant to be announcing a name and I haven't got a clue!
ThankyouSmile

Hate Arabella, really makes me think of someone very pretentious and unpleasant.
Also Dulcie…. It’s okay but not a pretty name.
Delilah out of all those. What about Delia?

Those are all pretty names, maybe wait to see what the baby looks like then make a call then?

My second is arriving next week and we think we're going for Phoebe, unless she looks particularly un-Phoebe-like! We also have a neighbour called Marnie and I think that's sweet.

@Marcipex

Dulcie is terribly twee. I’ve never met a Delilah but it’s very cute. What about Dahlia? Lovely flower name. Arabella is a bit of a mouthful. Annabel is nicer.
Yes I did consider Dahlia it was on my partners list a little while ago!

Delilah is lovely
