OK, Now we're sure we're having a girl, we have two names:

  1. Millie
* Emily * Millicent
  1. Martha

It's just for fun, really, because we won't decide until she's born, but which one would you go for? (or suggest another!!!!)

Middle names:
Grace / Kate / Alice (only one, obviously!)

Thanks, HM

Emily Grace sounds good to me.

ScottishThistle · 31/03/2009 22:07

Love Martha!

Martha Grace is a fabulous name.

Hulababy · 31/03/2009 21:52

I love the name Martha, so that would be my first choice.

Martha Grace

I prefer Emily to Millicent/

feedthegoat · 31/03/2009 21:51

My DS was going to be Emily Grace if had been a girl.

ladybird17 · 31/03/2009 21:49

Well I like Emily - my daughter is Emily - and strangely enough we were going to call her Emily Grace, but she looked like just an "Emily". That was 32 years ago! All the nurses went ga ga as they'd never had an Emily. Then a few months later Esther Rantzen called her new daughter Emily, and the game was up! There was only ever 1 Emily at my daughter's primary school, and 2 at secondary.
How times change!

BonsoirAnna · 31/03/2009 14:37

Millicent shortened to Millie is the name I like best from your (very) shortlist!

But Millicent doesn't go with either Grace or Alice (as there would be too many soft c sounds), and I don't like Kate as it is a nickname.

Millie is super popular, as others have pointed out.

Cucciola · 31/03/2009 14:34

Dont go for Emily Grace...beautiful though it is, she would be an E.G.. Would you want your daughter to be made an example of?

carolinecordery · 30/03/2009 08:47

Don't have Alice for a middle name because your first name choices end in a vowel sound as well and they don't trip off the tongue easily (vowel-vowel). ( I am a linguist)

Supercherry · 29/03/2009 17:05

Emily is the nicest out of your first names and I think it goes best with Kate.

Emily Kate.

milsna · 29/03/2009 16:56

My name is Milly

so obv go for that lol

Funnybunnyyumyum · 28/03/2009 20:46

Hate the name Millie. Martha is fab.

seeker · 26/03/2009 22:25

Martha Grace.

Or go for Clemency. Fab name, IMHO!

ickletickle · 26/03/2009 22:22

martha definitely. but i want it. even thought i am not even pg...

angrypixie · 26/03/2009 21:26

I know 3 Millies and EIGHT Emilys

Think again, think again!

MrsMattie · 26/03/2009 21:20

Emily is my favourite. Emily Alice is adorable.

NotanOtter · 26/03/2009 21:18

Martha Kate

Millies are everywhere now and not mad on it anyway

far from being ugly I think of a teen Martha as a beauty - clever and classy!

MadBadandDangerousToKnow · 26/03/2009 21:18

My two favourite names there are Martha and Alice, but Martha Alice doesn't seem to run very well (I think it's the final and initial As), so I'd suggest Martha Grace.

janeite · 26/03/2009 21:16

Love Martha Grace. Love Alice too.

Suggestions in a similar line -
Felicity
Cecily
Esme
Marianne

dizzydixies · 26/03/2009 21:13

Martha Kate

SJLTM · 26/03/2009 21:13

Millie Grace for me....This is dd3's name !

myredcardigan · 26/03/2009 21:07

I like Martha but one of the biggest reasons I didn't chose it was because I couldn't reasonably shorten it. Have you thought about that as you obviously want to shorten your other choice.

pandavark · 26/03/2009 20:59

i love martha. it sounds strong and not really sissy girly

i really like emmeline too but not millie or any of the nicknames for it. people would just end up calling her emmy or something.

i'd go with martha!

nappyaddict · 25/03/2009 21:05

Millicent without a doubt. Emily and Martha are both extremely popular atm.

hayley2u · 25/03/2009 18:32

millie
martha dont like it sounds too old. millie grace is nice. emily is nice too dont like any of the others at all sorry xx
