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?

Emma. My absolute fave and sounds soft to me. cannot for the life of me remember why I didn't call dd1 that, it was Emma right up until a week before she was born.

I've been racking my brains about Lula. It's the Laura Dern character in "Wild At Heart". Nicholas Cage is Sailor. Can't remember the end though. Have a feeling it may not end well.

Sorry. Nice name.

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

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?

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

Love Lula v pretty

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

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 11/03/2008 11:12

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

Dulcie is lovely.

Is there a name like Mhari?

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

Broccoli - Mhairi is a scottish name
pn 'marree' or 'varee' depending on which side of the fence you fall!
