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

There are so many pretty names mentioned above, however, I am seeing them mentioned so often here that I think they may not meet your brief of uncommon - I'm particularly thinking of Iris, Maeve, Niamh, Orla, Ottilie, and variations of Sophia, Sophie etc. This is not a criticism of any of them, in fact I may own one myself, just that I can see all of them possibly trending over the next while and some have probably trended already.

One name mentioned above that I really like is Serena, really suited the girl I was in school with briefly. Also love Caroline, Emma, Jenna/Jennifer, Juliet, Laura, Linda, Marianne, Oonagh/Una.

Zara is such a beautiful name 🩷

It is! But I have a friend with a baby called Zara, so feels a bit close to home

Some of these are beautiful. Thank you. Although I look at her and I just don’t marry any of these up to her face.

I think my postpartum hormones are making me go a bit doolally 😂

I have a Laurel, not often used but not ridiculous.

Holidayhappiness · 03/10/2024 16:12

My daughter’s name is Tabitha. She was going to be Rose all through my pregnancy but looking at her little face, Rose just didn’t fit. Tabitha is a Hebrew name and she doesn’t come across any others very often at all. Good luck and congratulations OP!

I'm in love with a lot of old fashioned names beginning with C at the moment. Celia. Cecilia. Celine. Celeste. Cecile. Cecily. And Enid Blyton Malory Towers vibes. Dorothy, Daphne, Mirabel, Isobel, Sybil, Beatrix.

Hope you find the one that suits.

Sorry no suggestions but just to say i had the same problem! Only decided when we were in the registration office😆

3425cx353 · 03/10/2024 16:22

I thought of a place with fond memories for us both and truncated it
