She’s a few weeks old. Can’t decide on a name, so please help by suggesting any pretty/lovely girl names you’ve come across in your years.

We like uncommon (but not ridiculous).

Thank you so so much x

So many of these are names of friends/friends children/children already in our lives so can’t/wont use them sadly.

our surname is 2 syllables!

I think with 2 syllables you can probably get away with any first name - probably not helpful!
I also think Annie is a lovely name and not too common at all - and I love Frankie too.

Also with my DD I was never completely sold on her name (I was 💯 sure with DS), but she’s really become it and I haven’t heard another name since that I like as much!

Oooh love this. I can tell you all the names I wish I’d called DD!

How many syllables is your surname? I think longer names are better if your surname only has one syllable

'Atomic'?! If this really does turns out to be the one that makes OP exclaim 'yes of course, that's her!', then I really hope she's got someone in real life who can convince her it's the hormones talking 🤣

Hahahaha

I can confirm, I’m not sold on Atomic, even with my raging PP hormones

If we ever (accidentally) have a third girl I’d like to name her Florence Ophelia. I also love Clara, Mila, Sofia, Kassia, Freya and Zara. Our Second was nearly Iona and our eldest was nearly Leila

Yeah, I definitely am a fan of nickname style names. Josie is nice, and I do like Maggie but it’s not “the one”, I also quite like Annie

What about Meggie if you like Maggie?
