Mine is

Angelica!

It's one of my colleague's names, and I think it's very pretty.

Maggie

If I had to choose just one, it would be Alexandra. It’s a beautiful name in its own right and I also love the diminutives for it, especially Sasha and Shura.

Hebe just reminds me of Heebee jeebees!
Jessica is quite classic.

April
Evangeline
Evalyn

But if I have a girl I can’t use anything with Ev… because I can’t name another child after her 😂

17caterpillars1mouse · 05/12/2024 22:22

Adeline but I also currently have a soft spot for Jessica

And Hebe, I adore Hebe

My absolute favourite girl's name is Barbara. Shame I never had a girl

It's lovely. Strong but not harsh.

Mine has always been Kira. DD probably would have been really miffed that she was named after a Star Trek character, so probably best we didn't use it, but I just think it's a really pretty name

Nova is the name of an academy trust which puts me off an otherwise beautiful name.

I like Navy for a girl.
