Still undecided on a name.
partner like very traditional names… at the moment we only have Isabel or Emilia. Not exactly ground breaking.
I loved Penelope but he doesn’t like that
He liked Eloise but my mums names Louise!

Diana in tribute to princess diana who died 25 years ago this August,

😂😂😂😂 Jesus Christ

Diana as a tribute to Princess Diana? Give me strength.

And when did people start mis-spelling Eloisa "Elouise"? Or is "Eeeh, Louise" a different name?

August would be good considering it is august,
Diana in tribute to princess diana who died 25 years ago this August,
Summer could work I think August is still sort of suery,
Peridot the birthstone of August,
Or poppy the flower of August.

Elouisa?
Fern?
Heather?
Willow?
Isadora?

Adeline

My sisters Adeline, I love her name and was always a bit jealous she had a name that was different! Mines definitely an 80’s name!

Adeline

lemmein · 20/08/2022 03:28

Oh forgot Gabrielle and Eleanor.

I went to uni with a Genevieve which is a bit out there for my usual taste but love it!

lemmein · 20/08/2022 03:23

Charlotte
Laura
Madeleine

Jessica
Rebecca

You do all realise that these cute babies will grow up to be - hopefully - professional women? Give them a proper name.
