This name thing is really irritating me, I go through lists on the internet and they just blur into mush.

So if everyone just posts their 5 favorites here I may actually find something I like!

I wanted to call my dd Lois which would of been after her Great Nanna, it was considered really old fashioned 14 years ago, I can not believe how many have put it on their lists.

We struggled for ages on our daughters name - our sons was so easy and she was going to be Jake or Samuel if a DS.

She was Ruby for 2 weeks but we decided it was to popular. We loved
Drew
Hallie
Neve
Nell
Phoebe
Kizzy
Summer
Tally
Frankie
Dylan
Georgie I like this one with your last name

We decided on Phoebe Mae Summer but then realised it was PMS so went for Phoebe Mae Piper and have now after a year changed her name to Phoebe Nell Piper plus our last name. Its a huge responsiblilty naming a child. Please let us know what you decide on

I also really like Delilah, but if we were to ever have another girl there is no way DP would let me use it. Could you imagine how many people would sing at her "my my my Delilah!" It also reminds me of 'Friends' "oh great! She's a biblical whore!"

I have found it easier to think of a name when placing it with a middle name, this also helps with a difficult surname. Easier for us as all our middle names are family names so picked in order.
ok my dd is Alannah which means dear child. If ds1 had been a girl he would have been jocelyn and if ds2 had been a girl would have been heather. Now expecting dc4 and thinking of sticking with heather.
However i also like violet, teagan and esther but dp not keen
