After some inspo! Super stuck on what to call our baby girl… 31 weeks pregnant so still have time, but just can’t imagine settling on a name. We have a Poppy already x

I’d have loved a Florence but our surname sounds too much like Pugh to get away with it. Love Irish names, or proper classic English names like Margot, Edith and Sylvie

i currently adore the name Winter (Winnie)

I’ve always loved Erica. In my head it is wildly different from Eric.

I’ve also been a teacher for a long time and never taught one. About 25 years ago I had a class with seven girls called Laura. That has clearly gone out of fashion but Poppy & Mia/Mya/Myah are very popular now…

I was once told Erica is Heather, in German - which I think makes it even more lovely!

Thank you everyone for all the suggestions!! Alice and Florence are probably the top ones for me so far. Hadn’t considered Marianne till now, really liking that too

Poppy and Tilly.

Other than my DDs' names I love Clementine and Allegra but wasn't brave enough 😀And DH vetoed Alexandra and Christabel and Maude which I also liked. Naming DD2 was harder than naming DD1 as it had to fit with DD1's name.
