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?

Jasmine is lovely. Although I think shes looks abit like an Alice.

Topsy34 · 11/02/2016 19:13

Our ds2 was nameless for a week and we registered him with a day left

MummyMoving · 11/02/2016 19:13

Gorgeous photo! I would say don't feel rushed, just take your time and her name will come to you.

A few thoughts in case anything jumps out at you...

Amelie Grace
Jennifer Grace
Juliet Grace

Congratulations on your new arrival Flowers

Rainatnight · 11/02/2016 19:26

I think she looks like a Pearl. That popped into my head as soon as I saw her.

Thingsthatmakeugoummmm · 11/02/2016 19:28

Robyn is lovely

WhineWhineWINE · 11/02/2016 19:29

If I had another girl, she'd be Rebecca or Flora.

Dammyjoder · 11/02/2016 19:31

Shes beautiful!

I think she looks like an Amelia grace.

2snugglets · 11/02/2016 19:31

Yes to Fletch and Jas! I Fletch is a very cool name, I love it and you need something similar for your little girl, not an old fashioned name wouldn't go.
I like the idea of a boyish name like Robyn, Riley or Sydney ( I know a beautiful 12 yr old Riley and it really suits her)

hookiewookie29 · 11/02/2016 19:33

I look after a little girl called Etta.....I think it's lovely!
My dd is Libby and I love the name Anya.

Wombatinabathhat · 11/02/2016 19:33

Beautiful children OP.

Ellis Grace

PeggyBlomquist · 11/02/2016 19:38

Riley is a great suggestion. What about Dylan ?

LeLeFox · 11/02/2016 19:39

I think Dylan is just too masculine! Especially in the UK, I do like Sydney though

WhineWhineWINE · 11/02/2016 19:45

There's no rush, it will come to you. She's beautiful, congratulatons! I called my son the wrong name for the first three days anyway, hormone loopy!

WhataMistakeaToMakea · 11/02/2016 19:45

Rowan?

squidgyapple · 11/02/2016 19:47

she looks gorgeous.
I think she looks like a Penelope

or a Geraldine or Genevieve or Florianne (I might have made up that last name but I like it anyway)

MrsJayy · 11/02/2016 19:50

Dd2 was 3 days I was going to call her Rachel I couldn't think of anything else changed our mind.Claudia is nice but doesn't stand out for me. I love Grace or Charlotte

restie · 11/02/2016 19:51

Monica?

Vickymumof4 · 11/02/2016 19:51

I love the name Nancy ! Nancy Grace Has a certain ring to it. Gorgeous pic btw :)

RainOhJoyus · 11/02/2016 19:55

Jasmine or Sydney with fletcher, congrats!
And mardy was being mardy!

Greengardenpixie · 11/02/2016 19:56

What about Edith? I love that name!!! Very underused and beautiful.

Enkopkaffetak · 11/02/2016 20:01

Eloisa
Aoife (both work well with Fletcher IMO)

Or perhaps consider

Bronte
Brooke
Heather
Roseanna
Rosalind
Elspbeth
Xanthe
Dorothy
Sadie
Antonella
Genevieve
Persephone

I think personally Jasmine with Fletcher is a bit one has a very normal and plain name and one has a quirky unusual name My dd1 has ended up with a normal almost plain name due to its rise in popularity over the last 18 years her 3 siblings have unusual but not weird names a bit like Fletcher. I know it bothers her. I know a Jasmine and she is lovely so it is not a I don't like the name post. Just I don't think it works well with Fletcher.
