To not know what to call my daughter...

It's been 2 days since we have had her and it's so stressful for me! I want her to have a name and feel bad she doesn't. I have a thread going in Baby Names and hoping that will get a name to jump out at me, but feel bad as DS had a name when we found out his gender.

How long until you found a name?

Awww scrunchie newborn!

Katedotness1963 · 11/02/2016 17:13

We had their names decided before they were born.

Girls names?

Esme
Sophia
Claudia
Amelia
Emma

MaxPepsi · 11/02/2016 17:13

Gorgeous. Congratulations Smile

Matilda?

Fletch and his little sister Tilly?

(apologies if you absolutely hate your sons name being shortened but it will happen as he's older)

Although I like all the names mentioned.

Rosie

I have a Claudia! Only ever had positive reactions to it and whilst it was not my first choice of name (it was a compromise name DH and I both liked), I still think it's lovely.

Other names I like or would have chosen:
Stella
Beatrice
Miranda
Francesca
Astrid
Alexandra
Harriet

LeLeFox · 11/02/2016 17:16

Thank you all :) will be checking with DH!

It's fine, we shorten to Fletch too Blush

We changed our minds 3 times with DD

On our list of fictitious 4th babies:
Annie
Astrid
Ursula
Stella
Marguerite

I like Claudia too

PastaPrincess · 11/02/2016 17:17

That photo is so lovely! I really like Fletcher, so on the off chance we have similar taste in girls names, here are my favourites:

Vivienne (Vivi)
Heidi
Violet
Jessica
Aurora
Flora

LeLeFox · 11/02/2016 17:18

Pasta I think we do, I like them all Wink

My current girls list for you to ponder:
Tessa
Maggie
Clara
Lucia
Vera

I like shorter names.
I think your baby looks like a Nina btw. She is a cutie xx

Proginoskes · 11/02/2016 17:18

Amelia? Penelope? Rhiannon? Alessandra? Evelyn/Eveline?

Will admit to a slight preference for one of the names I just listed off as it's my DD's but not saying which Grin

pictish · 11/02/2016 17:18

Flora was my mum's name. I think it's lovely.

Potatoface2 · 11/02/2016 17:18

florence to go with fletcher

PavlovtheCat · 11/02/2016 17:19

She looks like a Beatrice.

Beautiful photo!

iwouldgoouttonight · 11/02/2016 17:19

operaha

Have my "if I ever have another daughter" name - Violet

That's my fictional future daughter's name too Grin Although we have two DCs and definitely not having any more (but could be very tempted after seeing OP's photo - they're both gorgeous)

neonrainbow · 11/02/2016 17:19

Beautiful children!!! My other favourites are francesca, aurelia, marianne and josephine.

JT05 · 11/02/2016 17:20

Congratulations. I'm long past having a DD, only had boys! But I would have chosen Alice.

Love Grace though.

rosieliveson1 · 11/02/2016 17:21

Beautiful picture! Adorable little girl too. I love the name Grace and would go with Arabella Grace if I had a baby girl right now Grin

MaxPepsi · 11/02/2016 17:21

Flora and Florence are both lovely names

But, coming from a family where 2 siblings have the same initial, and one parent and one child have the same - don't do it!!

Caused nothing but confusion!!

LeLeFox · 11/02/2016 17:22

Aww, thank you! They are gorgeous Grin

OP posts:
EweAreHere · 11/02/2016 17:22

Violetta Grace
Evelyn Grace
Felicity Grace
Cecily Grace

Anything ending with an ----a sound works nicely with Grace.

Local schools has a number of Stellas in KS1 at the moment; not sure I'd go there.

tillytown · 11/02/2016 17:23

Amy is a great name, goes with everything

LeLeFox · 11/02/2016 17:25

I think you've all just made it harder! Grin opinions on Jasmine? It's one Fletcher likes

OP posts:
ScarlettDarling · 11/02/2016 17:25

Oh my goodness she is a peach!! What weight was she? She's a proper little chubby chops, just gorgeous!

I think she looks like a Poppy or a Daisy!

Yseulte · 11/02/2016 17:26

Very sweet children!

I don't think she looks like a Claudia and anyway I don't like the name. It's shortened to Claud which isn't nice at all.

Imogen Grace is very pretty so is Amelia Grace.
