Hello,

I’m new! I am having a girl & my husband & I are currently discussing girl names! This is our first girl after 4 boys and where as boys names came easily to us and found names we both like - girl names are providing a little more tricker! I’m more conservative in nature so like more common/ traditional names whereas my husband wants to have something a little more unique!

One thing we both agree with is for a short name as her middle and surname is already decided - middle name is 7 letters & so is the surname.

My husband loves the name ‘Bay’ - I’m not sure? I say loves the name, but is it even a name lol? Your opinions & feedback would be lovely to receive :) do you like the name or is it a bit too out there?

I've only heard it as a boys name. I think kirstie allsop's son is Bay.

I cook with bay leaves a lot so in our house it’d be like calling the child Oregano or Cinnamon. But it’s not horrible x

Personally I don't like it but I am more on the traditional side. I think there are more striking modern names, it's a bit nothingy.

Good luck and enjoy your girl!

I'm struggling with this one.
I quite like bay horses... still.
