stuck for girls names

So far i have got the following....

Robyn
Rose
Holly

and erm, thats it

Could you give me your opinions on these names and maybe suggest some more for me, i'm a bit stuck and OH isn't being very helpful! We like traditional names, preferably one that can't be shortened.

How about Mia or Kitty?

Hello Solo

Rarebreed: Im not keen on Robyn (the only Robins that i know are male and it's a masculine name to me for that reason)
Rose - beautiful. and very underused as a first name.
Holly - i really like this name, very cute.

For other traditional names, how about:

Lucy
Hope
Kate
Lily
May
Grace
Alice
Charlotte (probably would get shortened though ...)
Amy
Chloe
Emily
Beth
Leah

Good luck

One of my friends has a Lilly Violet, another Rebecca Rose.
My daughter is named after a tree!
Flower nmames seem to be really in right now don't they!

We did consider Miriam, Hannah, Grace, Lydia and she was definitely going to be a Rani for ages but we changed our minds before she was born, and she doesn't look like a Rani(which means Queen in Hindi), she's really fair skinned.

Thank you for the welcomes!

Rita?

AdeleFielder · 03/03/2008 21:33

I'm new today and never done anything like this before... But my little girl is called Larna and we generally get quite positive feedback from people on that one, being a bit more unusual. Hopefully we'll have a boy next and he'll be Aaron.

JayneF · 03/03/2008 21:11

If you think it is a boy, her name has to be Hope!!

LaundryFairy · 03/03/2008 21:07

I always associate nice people I have met with nice names:

Carla
Renee
Eleanor
Olivia

just a few....

lou33 · 03/03/2008 20:56

i have a lily delilah and a tallulah daisy, if that is any help

ds1 would have been betsy rose

ds2 probably willow tiger

Hulababy · 03/03/2008 20:40

Nice flower names: Poppy, Lily, Rosie, Daisy.

I have a Mollie and I still really like her name.

My favourite name at the moment is Matilda, Tilly for short. I also love the name Martha.

vicsta · 03/03/2008 20:35

Kate or Lucie? Traditional & Short

cameroonmama · 03/03/2008 16:22

We have a Daisy. But I do like Rose. DS2 would have been a Martha. I love it. We have a friend called Anya and the dc call her onion

Pinkchampagne · 03/03/2008 16:19

I like Rose from your list. Other girls names I like are Iris, Martha & Anya.

Hi solo and welcome!

rarebreed, I love Holly, and Rose is lovely too. Also from the names given so far I love Violet and I think Alice is really pretty, not too common either.

I think my favourite of them is Violet.

Hi Solo

solo · 03/03/2008 15:05

There are such lovely names around.
My little girl was nameless for 3 weeks! and we finally decided on something really unusual and everyone loves it...Not telling though!

Hello, by the way! this is my first contribution to MN.

I'm mum to a 9.5 year old boy(who had his name 5 months before he was born) and 14 month old girl. Nice to say Hi to you all.

i'm hoping that if they find girly bits on the 4D scan i'll have enough time to re-adjust before she arrives

Give up on the girls names then

Mung i'm secretly convinced i'm having a boy. Have told OH and he is convinced too. I haven't even been tempted to look at girly things in Mothercare!

i like Holly

Mung · 03/03/2008 14:32

Rarebreed, I had the same problem...
We agreed on a boys name straight away for 1st pregnancy and didn't have a girls name. Fortunately, Milo came along.
2nd pregnancy we agreed on a girls name and didn't have a boys name. Fortunately, Esmé came along!

Perhaps its a sign that you are having a boy

Rose Kathryn
Rose Susannah
Rose Elizabeth (random name but i've always loved it, just think its too long to have as a first name)

love Ruby OH hates it. Its weird, i always thought it would be so easy to pick a girls name. We agreed on the boys name we wanted straight away (Harry) weird...

Mung · 03/03/2008 14:25

The names you have are very pretty. Why not go with them? If your list gets too long, you wont be able to decide. I like Ruby, thats quite traditional too.
