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?

MyFavouriteClintonisGeorge · 11/02/2016 18:06

Oo, she's very bonny! Congratulations.

How about:
Lilian Grace, nn Lily?

I love the name Zenobia, but I recognise I am in a tiny minority with that one!

Dinah
Roberta
Miriam
I like Catrina, but the hurricane's ruined that, hasn't it? Maybe Catriona? Or Catrin?
Celia
Miranda (well, the 80s are back in fashion)
Rosalind

Gruntfuttock · 11/02/2016 18:07

Well, I was at a loss before I saw the photo, as I'm not at all good at making decisions or AM I? but when I saw her, the name that sprang to mind is Cuddlechops, which I think goes very nicely with Grace.

I do hope this has been helpful.

LeaLeander · 11/02/2016 18:07

Frances Grace, and call her Faye.

Fletcher and Faye.

MitzyLeFrouf · 11/02/2016 18:08

Was Zenobia not the name of the pretend country in the Princess Diaries?

scarednoob · 11/02/2016 18:08

She's lovely!

We went for pippa and everyone seems to like it - could be short for Philippa or Penelope or Patricia if you wanted a longer one. Since reading "Elizabeth is missing", I now love Maude. Claudia is nice too, good suggestion, or Clara for a similar sound.

I liked tabitha and Amber, but DP hated them :(

Yseulte · 11/02/2016 18:08

She is. Bonnie?

toastandbutterandjam · 11/02/2016 18:09

Alana Grace is nice too Grin

mrsdolittle · 11/02/2016 18:10

It took us nearly six weeks to decide on a name for DD! In fact we got a letter from the Registrar (?) saying if we didn't register her name and birth by a certain date we would be fined £100. So no need to panic just yet Smile.

What about Scarlet? Or Raven (my current favourite unusual name)

vixsyn · 11/02/2016 18:10

Both are gorgeous! Grace seems to suit her. Any book, film characters or authors that might inspire you? If you like Claudia then at least you've found something you like!

I think she could also make a charming Charlotte.

DrFoxtrot · 11/02/2016 18:11

I have a Heidi and an Imogen. I love the suggestion Claudia. I also love Clara (Dr Who fans?).

NewLife4Me · 11/02/2016 18:11

No name suggestions, but wanted to say what a lovely ds you have there.
He clearly loves his new sister, what a darling.

Wafflenose · 11/02/2016 18:12

I saw your other thread earlier, and like Jasmine best from that list. Fletcher would feel extra special too if you went for his favourite.

ManneryTowers · 11/02/2016 18:13

That was Genovia - also a lovely name!

vixsyn · 11/02/2016 18:14

Oh, also, the name your son liked: Jasmine. I had a friend called Jasmine when I was a teenager, with that spelling (apparently less common than Jasmin?). I think it's a beautiful name, quite exotic in its own way, and as she gets older she might prefer the full or one of the many abbreviations (my friend preferred Jazza but got a lot of Jas, Minne and Mina!).

Same applies to the Charlotte I mentioned actually, given you've got Charlie, Lottie and Charlotte as options.

LeLeFox · 11/02/2016 18:15

NewLife - he has waited many years to be a big brother! It just wasn't happening! :( thank goodness we have one now and she was worth the wait, he seems to think so too!

KathyBeale · 11/02/2016 18:17

I think she is Nina. Which is not a name I have ever considered before but it suits her little squashy beautiful face.

My favourite names are old lady names - Nancy, Margot, Edith...

But I still think she's Nina.

KinkyAfro · 11/02/2016 18:17

Hermione

MrsKoala · 11/02/2016 18:19

Oh how gorgeous! Today i am particularly loving Clementine if i ever have a girl.

LittleBeautyBelle · 11/02/2016 18:22

So adorable! Penelope Grace? Lots of good suggestions.

whippetwoman · 11/02/2016 18:24

She is lovely.

Love the name Fletcher btw, though went with Dexter. If he had been a girl he would have been Tabitha.

Also love:
Hannelie
Robyn
Betty (not for everyone but my friend has a Betty)
Meredith
Peggy
Jenny

But I have weird taste. She looks like a Peggy to me though...

toastandbutterandjam · 11/02/2016 18:26

Harriet Grace Grin

Koopz · 11/02/2016 18:26

Haven't read the whole thread so am probably repeating but how about Sophia/Sofia Grace?

Becca83 · 11/02/2016 18:27

I have a Matilda Grace! I'm biased, but I think it's a beautiful name. We always get positive comments on it.

Love Annabelle and Sienna too.
