Hello. I am having a baby girl, due end of april. Our surname is Webb so would like something to go with it.

DH really likes Mia but I think it is a bit short to go with Webb?

I really like Madeline (how ever you spell it, will obviously check if we choose it), Matilda, Leyla/Leila.

Also came into conversation today was calling her April or May (depending on when she is born). I like it, but don't love it iyswim.

Not going to talk to family about names as they hated everything we liked last time and vice versa.

I think of all the names we have said, leila is my fav, but I think it sounds funny with my surname?

Jessica is another I liked actually, a friend has just called her baby it (ex work colleague so not somebody I couldn't steal the name from as I don't even see her anymore). Will ask DH what he thinks of that later.

Violet is nice, although not 100% on it and not sure it goes with my surname.

Still open for suggestions, we only found out today it is a girl!

agree that mia (although lovely) is a bit short

MrsMattie · 11/12/2008 15:37

Mia is lovely, so is Leila.
