Having my first girl but can't agree on a name!

Hi,
I'm new here! I'm expecting my third child in December and we are super excited because we are having a girl, we already have two lovely boys Oliver and Alfie. We cannot agree on a name and it's driving me insane! We know the middle name will be after my Mum's middle name Christine. Anyway so far our list is ; Ava, Sophie, Abigail, Lily, Grace. My favourite is Ava! What do you think? 💗

Abigail. It also means her father's joy.

I like all of your names, but they are mostly very popular. There are so many Ava's. It would put me off, but obviously if you love it, that won't matter. I think Harriet and Hazel are beautiful but also more unique.

There are SO many Avas at the moment. It's fine, but everywhere, and I prefer Eva really.

From your list I love Sophie and Abigail, proper names and Sophie is so gorgeous. Yes it's been popular for about 30+ years but that's for a reason!

But they're all nice names really.

It is really difficult. My husband chose the boys names and I wasn't initially keen on Alfie but it suits him perfectly! My husband has always liked lily but someone put me off it so that's why Ava is my new favourite

Ava but I'm biased as my 11 month old DD is called that ☺️

Abigail

I don’t think Ava and Oliver sound very good together. Too samey. Same with Sophie and Alfie.

I like Lily the best. But if Oliver is an Ollie, I don’t like Ollie and Lily together… haha

Its hard with 3 names that need to sound good together

Cantchoosename · 27/08/2022 22:16

I like Lily and Ava the best out of those names too

Mumofgirls2017 · 27/08/2022 22:11

I like Ava best too! Also like Lily
