I feel like there are thousands of lovely girl names but none that I really LOVE. Hoping for inspiration, what is your favourite girl name?

Love Wren!

I love Wren too! But it would have been too rhymey with DH's name.

Also love Stevie but that's an ex so it was vetoed 😂

I don't actually love DD's name. I couldn't find one that I just adored which didn't get vetoed so we named her after a favourite relative of mine. I enjoy the joy, love and memories associated with the name but if that aunt had been called something else then there's no way DD's name would have made the shortlist without that association.

Love Wren!

Well if I had my time again it would be Ariadne or Phyrne! But my DD is Aurelia!

"Iris" called out by a man in Brighton with the most beautiful Jamaican accent (Eye-ree-ss) - just utterly lovely. Not quite the same with a bog standard accent.

Regarding your favourite, Jamie. In Spanish speaking countries, it's Jaime
(pronounced Hy-me) I quite like the Spanish version.

Leonie is sweet.

I know it’s not a modern name or trendy or anything but I really love the name Sarah. It’s a name that crosses every generation and sounds nice whether you’re a baby, twenty or ninety. It has a lovely soft sound and is pretty without being sickly or twee. To me it’s the perfect name and I wish it was mine.

Jamie, my 10 year old would suit it so much, and she agrees.

It's not her name though!
