Girls name (due in a few weeks)

I have 3 boys and currently pregnant with my first girl and naming her is proving to be extremely difficult. I thought it was hard for boys but I actually had my boys name picked this time before we found out the gender (which was a long time ago now) Iv never been this far along in my pregnancy and still not decided a name so to say I’m stressing is an understatement. I just don’t want to regret it.

so for a while now our choice was Hattie, but I can’t help think about the other names I really like.

my list is
Hattie
Goldie
Hazel
Beatrice
Winnie
and Daphne

what are peoples thoughts? My partner wants Hattie like originally decided but something just doesn’t feel 100 percent even tho I do really like it

Thanks for the update what a beautiful name!

AngelasAirpods · 31/05/2023 13:37

Congratulations! I was going to say Hazel is my favourite and then saw your update. Beautiful name, lucky girl.

Congratulations! X

Mumofgirls2017 · 31/05/2023 12:47

Oh sorry see that you’ve chosen! Well as I said Hazel is lovely!

Mumofgirls2017 · 31/05/2023 12:47

I vote Daphne followed by Hazel and Winnie. Not crazy about Hattie but possibly if short for Harriet

Congratulations! 💐

Thanks for everyone’s input, baby girl was born 05/05/2023 and we called her Hazel. She’s perfection 🩷

Hat tie that's all Hattie is made up of. Two items of clothing. Nothing offensive but nothing special either.

They sound more like Blue Peter dogs names than names for a little girl to me.

Winnie will just be Winnie the poo 💩 at school. And people will think she's called Winifred.

jesslu5075 · 07/04/2023 15:15

Hattie is good, especially with Harriet as a full name.

Also consider:

Clara
Vivianne
Mae

mumonherphone · 07/04/2023 10:52

Not Hattie or Goldie. I like Harriet but don't think Hattie works on it's own, same for Goldie it just seems like a nickname and not a full name, sorry. For some reason I don't feel the same about Winnie and think it could work on it's own.

Hazel and Beatrice are perfectly nice names but I think Daphne is my favourite by a mile, love it!

There is such a mix of peoples preferred names from my list on here I don’t know if it’s helped or made it worse haha
with my sons the latest I had picked a name was 30 weeks, I’m hoping it comes to me when she is born I don’t want to pick a name because I’m rushed and then later regret it. We shall see eek

When she is here you will probably find it will click into place! I debated so many but never felt final til they arrived....out of your choices I like Hattie best, but Beatrice is also sweet.

LilacSloth · 04/04/2023 21:57

From your list I like Hazel best. Not that fond of Hattie. How about Hebe?

Luredbyapomegranate · 04/04/2023 21:51

I don’t think you can possibly know for sure till you see her, so it’s only going to be a shortlist

I like Beatrice from your list

Daphne and Hazel are alright

I am not keen on little girl nns like Hattie and Winnie as full names personally

Goldie - I’d put that down to hormones OP. You aren’t having a retriever. Step away. Greta perhaps?

Sylvie
Zoe
Stevie
Marnie
Laurel
Sorrel
Katherine nn Kitty
Elizabeth or Lisbeth nn Lizbie / Buffy

ElizaSkye · 04/04/2023 20:34

I love Goldie!

also like Beatrice and just Bea.

Hettie?

HuggingtheHRT · 04/04/2023 20:05

Hazel is lovely. As is Beatrice (nn Bea)

ourflagmeansdeath · 04/04/2023 19:55

Hattie - Not for me
Goldie - I know a Goldie! Think it's quite sweet
Hazel - Love Hazel. So beautiful
Beatrice - Same as Hazel. Like Tris for a nickname too
Winnie - Hmm not for me. Too babyish
Daphne - Bridgerton!! It's quite soft sounding, I like it

Favourites are Hazel and Beatrice.

Thisgirlcan21 · 04/04/2023 00:13

Hattie or Beatrice
