Elective CS tomorrow, no idea whether we’re having a boy or a girl but are absolutely stuck on a favourite name for a girl.

What are your thoughts on:
Maeva
Mallory / Malorie
Margo
Violet

Our surname is Irish and begins with M…

That's absolutely adorable. Congratulations on baby Maeva, it's a beautiful name and I wish you the best with your baby. 😊❤

Congratulations!! I hope you are both doing really well. Welcome to the world baby Maeva 💞

Londonlady1423 · 20/04/2023 11:05

Congratulations, so nice to hear the final decision, enjoy her ❤️

Awe wow 🥰 massive congratulations! Welcome baba Maeva ❤️❤️

Mumofgirls2017 · 20/04/2023 09:02

Maeva or Margo!

(prefer maeve and Margot though if honest!)

dwightschrutebeets · 20/04/2023 08:44

Congratulations! Beautiful name

DarlingG · 20/04/2023 08:28

Congratulations! They were all lovely names but that goes lovely with her sister’s. Hope your recovery goes well 😊

SquigglePigs · 20/04/2023 07:42

Congratulations! Those two names go beautifully together.

Smallonesaremorejuicy · 20/04/2023 07:40

Congratulations 💗

Meandfour · 20/04/2023 07:32

Oh sorry, you’ve named her!

Massive congratulations!

Apologies, we absolutely would have a Margot and not Margo! It’s my husbands favourite name but I think it’s perhaps a bit posh for us (and also getting relatively common); he wanted it for our first daughter but she’s Annie.

Thank you for all the well wishes for tomorrow; nerves are kicking in but it’s nice to hear that the name choices go down well! ♥️

Annie & Violet were both on my list for my last baby but he wouldn’t have suited either 😂

I vote for Violet. The 2 names sound beautiful together. Hope all went well yesterday and you have your baby in your arms now.

shakeitoffsis · 20/04/2023 07:29

Maeva is my favourite name! Congrats.

Annie and Maeva.

Do you like Molly, Mary or Maisie?

Luredbyapomegranate · 18/04/2023 22:24

Margot

Also like Violet

Really don’t like the other two

Hope it all goes well tomorrow!

Maeva is the spoilt brat in made in Chelsea so avoid that.

redyellowpinkbluegreen · 18/04/2023 21:41

I love all!! I know a baby Mallory and love it. Margo is getting very popular but still love. love violet . If I had to ditch one it would be Maeva. We had 2 blt and 2 girl names and picked the one that suited her best! Good luck!xx

I love an alliteration so I'd be torn between Mallory and Margo

But I still love Violet

Absolutely no help

As8ly4yn · 18/04/2023 21:27

Margo and Violet are my favourites. Congratulations hope all goes well 😁

Mazietops · 18/04/2023 21:20

Awe they are all lovely names! Best of luck tomorrow and congratulations! I’ve never heard of Maeva is that prounounced like Méabh with an (a) on the end? It’s lovely ☺️

Londonlady1423 · 18/04/2023 21:13

I love Maeva, was on our list but we know a friend who named their baby ava which we felt was too similar, good luck for tomorrow

MiniEggsAllYear · 18/04/2023 21:12

Oh wow you have a great list.
Maeva is my favourite but only just.
Mallory and Margo (think I maybe prefer it spelled Margot?) are a very close joint second.
Violet is lively but more commonly heard than the others where i am.

itsgettingweird · 18/04/2023 21:11

Nice names.

I'd actually call a girl

Mallory Violet.

It has a lovely ring to it. Different but not out there iyswim?
