Baby girl is arriving soon and our shortlist is now . . .

Bethan
Robyn
Lauren

We're a bit stuck so I'd love to hear your opinions on these? Or any other similar suggestions? Don't have to end with an 'n' by the way! Thanks

Thanks for all the comments so far. Some great extra suggestions to think about too.

We're in England so I guess Bethan would be pronounced more like Beth-un but I don't mind that too much. My DH's favourite is Robyn but I'm just not sure I can completely warm to it. Maybe it will grow on me but not sure I want to take the risk!

I love Robyn and Bethan. I don’t like Lauren as much but it’s okay. It’s not a bad name

I really like all three. Lauren is my favourite.

Bethan - I prefer just 'Beth' - Bethan is likely to get pronounced Beth-un, which sounds quite hard to me. The Welsh Beth-an sounds much nicer. How about Seren? Welsh for 'star'.

Robyn - it's ok. I like Bobbie as a nn.

Lauren - not that keen, feels a bit dated - I prefer Laurel or even Lorna.

Rowan

Love Bethan.

How are you pronouncing it though? Are you Welsh? To me it’s Beth-an.

Not a fan of Robyn at all, prefer Laura to Lauren, it feels dated.
