Think I've gone off our baby's name!

Baby girl due in the next few weeks, since finding out we were expecting and then 100% decided when we found out she was a girl we have decided on the name Millie- to the point we've not got a back up. I still like the name but for some reason these last couple of weeks I feel like I'm not 100%. I don't know if this is just FTM last minute panicking 😂. If not, any similar suggestions? Her middle name will 100% be Eliza x

Personally I dislike the name Millie, twee and weak sounding, also very popular at the moment.

I was dead set for calling my dd Sienna then about a week before she was born completely went off it and named her something else.

It's a good reason to give her several names, so you and she have alternatives in future.

You still have time to decide, with my oldest we had a shortlist and went off them all and had to go back to the drawing board once he was born! Why not look at other names and see if you find something you like more?

Matilda / Tilly

Millie is a lovely name on its own, but perhaps if it was short for a longer name it would give more options? Camilla, Millicent, Amelia, Emily, Romilly?

Alternatively how about Lily, Marnie, Chloe, Annie, Kizzy, Naomi, Suzy, Bethany, Ivy, Lucy, Poppy, Katie, Holly?
