I’ve just found out that I’m expecting a baby girl (after 2 boys). We have loads of boy names that we agree on but very few girl names that we both like, and none that we both love.

Names we both like include:
Isla
Evelyn
Aerin/Erin
Alexandra
Esther
Flora
Josephine
Cecelia
Ferne
Adeline/Aveline
Florence
Laurel

I love:
Cicely
Celeste
Serena
Viviana
Clara
Flora
Cassia
Marina
Claudine
Yvette
Sylvia/Sylvie
Violet
Coralie/Coraline

He has much more conservative taste and basically likes the names of girls I was at primary school with (Jessica, Chloe, Sarah, Abigail, Charlotte, Catherine).

Any ideas for names that we might both like! I feel like we’ve considered every name in the world and nothing seems right for both of us.

I think Clara, Esther, Josephine, Adeline, Violet, Florence sort of suit both your styles but maybe I’m wrong.

Maybe the below could work?
Verity
Lilian (Lily)
Olive
Seren
Hazel
Scarlet (Lettie)
Vera
Camille
Vanessa

Isla and Evelyn are lovely names. I also like Clara.

MaloneMeadow · 27/11/2023 17:28

How about Cecily? Don’t really like Cecelia or Cicely (old woman names to me) but Cecily is gorgeous and not too common, I’ve only ever met 2. From your lists I love Celeste, Clara and Florence

How about:
Isabel
Lara
Beatrice
Elise
Sasha
