Help please I need some inspiration for girls' names. Her middle name will be Rosemary for my Gran and the first name can't end in an "e" sound due to our surname. Any ideas?

Mrs Mcjnr - you still have a while to choose!!

All the time I was pg it was going to be Ava for a girl then the day before I went into labour we changed our mind and wanted Molly

Bet you will change your mind at least 3 times!!

Sorry Macaco for keeping you in suspense, it is the verb Mear so conjugated it would be spelt differently to Mia but it means to "urinate" on thanks for posting those names and that link to the top Spanish names, was interesting ... still at a loss thoug!

am still (hours later) totally perplexed by the idea of Mia meaning something rude in Spanish! Have asked DH (Spanish) and he says he's never heard of it meaning anything except "mine", you have to enlighten me, it's killing me!

Hi MrsMcJnr, have "spoken" to you on a spain birth thread. Congratulations! What rude meaning does Mia have in Spanish? It means mine but what on earth else?

Leonora, Lídia, Sílvia, Paloma.

AGain, these are names perceived to be Spanish that would work over here. They might raise eyebrows for being dated in Spain... ??

not there yet ladies, keep them coming!

I like Savana and Allegra but DH doesn?t. I loved Ava but I gave that name to my lost angel

LOL Lucky ? you KNOW I still love the name Aaliyah!

Sneaker ? oh dear! We told dr we only wanted to know if he was very sure, and he pointed out how he was so hopefully he?s right but if not I have a boy?s name anyway! funnily we never had problems finding boys? names! So glad your DD is amazing so is my DS, I couldn?t be happier. Spain is good and I am taking care of Xavier full time and I feel so lucky to have precious time with him I really mean it when I say that I?m so glad to hear your pain is fading xx

I like Flora, Clara, Maribel, Anabel although these are more fashionable in the UK than in Spain. Maybe women are called these names in spain, not babies??

Spanish babies called yucky names like Nuria. Sorry to mums of nurias.
