And is alliteration a good thing?

I think Gloria should make a comeback.

LOL @ lulubee

I used to know a girl called Grainne whose Dad used to call her in at night "Groina, Groina"

What about Gulseren?

Grace is the only one I like so far. Sorry.
Has it been explained why the name has to begin with "G"? Seem to have missed it.

I quite like alliterative names. They have a sort of showgirl quality.

Gina?
Georgina?
Georgia?

Galia
Gulmira
Gulnara
Geraldine
Gisele
Giulia

I think names like Gladys will come back into fashion..

Lulubee · 13/12/2008 19:09

I always liked Grainne written down and was very disappointed when I found out how it was pronounced! It's too similar to 'Groin'!

dinkymum · 13/12/2008 15:16

Georgia
Gemma

Genivieve.

Gwen.

Grace.

Gertrude - or was that the magic roundabout cow?

Gervaise

My neice is Gabriella, and she is often called Gabby, but that in itself is quite pretty. Or if you used Gabrielle, it would more likely be shortened to Ellie. I have a Thomas, and I have never called him Tom, although his friends do.

Gaynor
Greta

LittleDonkeyCarrieMary · 13/12/2008 14:04

I have a gorgeous Gracie

When we were trying to pick baby names I worked my way through a few letters like this.

It helped to narrow the field rather than having to think about ALL the possible names, which just seemed too daunting.

Silly but helpful IME

Gaia. Grace. I like alliterative names.

Quattrocento · 13/12/2008 13:45

No

bodiddly · 13/12/2008 13:44

guess it is a soft g .. kind of french pronunciation. Anyway ... after all that you probably aren't a fan. I love it! good classic film though!

bodiddly · 13/12/2008 13:43

poinsettydog · 13/12/2008 13:43

why does the goddam name have to begin with 'g'? Has anyone asked?

Choose another first letter.

skidoodle · 13/12/2008 13:40

zhizhi?

skidoodle · 13/12/2008 13:40

Oooh ghislaine is gorgeous (if you dare, you maybe not be up for a hard to spell/pronounce name)
