Soft names

I think I'd like a soft, pretty, girly middle name if bump is a girl.

Something like

Lilah
Maya
Eva

Any more?

pmsl barcode apologies for presumption!

Not having a pop, Dixie.

I don't pay any attention to film stars, so I was only aware of the historical association. If not for that I'd think it was a nice name too.

PS. So very NOT a lady. Ask my DW.

sheesh crazy schleb baby names if at all tempted remember David Bowie called his son zowie bowie poor wee zowie changed it to joe

dizzydixies · 11/03/2008 19:54

if you look at the list ladies it was right under Suri as in Suri tom and katie cruise?
was not a particularly suggestion but was running out of ideas so thought I'd throw in the jolie-pitts and the tomkat names too for a shake up

scottishmummy · 11/03/2008 19:36

shilohseems pitt-jole had the same idea...so very Papaprazzi et al name

BarcodeZebra · 11/03/2008 19:21

Dixie: not sure about Shiloh. 23,000 men died at the battle of Shiloh. It was the worst battle in terms of lives lost in American history up to that date. Personally, I'd pass.

Mhairi's a lovely name. I'm all for gaelic names me.

Dulcie is lovely.

Is there a name like Mhari?

I'm going to scout name sites for meanings. Meanings are important.

My dog was called Nula, but the DDs always called her Lula. Or Noo Noo.

But then I'm not suggesting that you call your daughter either of these

Lio · 11/03/2008 10:58

The dog in Pocoyo is called Lula. I like the name.

I would have had Bibi for our first if Dh hasn't used his "no way!" card on it!

Love Lula v pretty

BarcodeZebra · 10/03/2008 23:12

Funny how that happens. Our Lulu is short for Lillian (v long story). I spent a good twenty minute trying to persuade a very confused DW that DD2 should be called Lily.

I knew someone I liked had a really similar name. I just couldn't think who.

Good luck choosing. It's a nightmare isn't it?

Not to worry BarcodeZ - have just remembered that other daughter's middle name is Lilah . Bit too similar. Knew I quite liked it though!
