Baby names

[BJacks86]

Hello I'm pregnant with DC3, and me and DH have started speaking about names. I love the name Eddie for a girl but can't think of a longer version for the full name. Family hate this name as its a boys name. Do you think its a bad choice?

Also please could I have suggestions on names like Eddie, Tori (full name Victoria), and Margot (full name Margret).

This reminds me of that episode of friends where Ross and Rachel are trying to choose a name for their baby. ‘I like James. But only if it’s a girl.’

How about Teddy as a NN for Theadora?

Is now the wrong time to confirm that I desperately wanted DD2 to be called James but DH said no...

Also a big fan of Frankie, Stevie and Noah for girls.

I just like boys names for girls and old people names.

Thank god for your husband

Thank god for your husband

This^^

Frankie and Stevie are nice names on girls, I wouldn’t particularly find that anything unusual.

But James, Noah and Eddie for a girl?

Thank God your husband has got some sense.....

What about Meredith shortened to Eddie?

In Denmark girls can be called Noah but it's spelled Noa.

James? A bit cruel i think. The poor child at school. You know children can be cruel

I daren't share my list of boys names, obviously in a minority thinking times are changing and you can name kids opposite gender/gender neutral names.

Meredith could perhaps have Eddie as a shortening?

I think Eddie and James are lovely names for girls! If you want a full name, I like Edina or Edith. I’d love to have been called Jamie

My wedding dress is called Edie so I don't think that's boyish
But Margot is a name, it's not short for Margret

Have another after and call her patsy! Please....

Meredith could be a good option :)

And thank you MaMaMaMySharona thats what I always think!

Don't worry my daughter is just called Margot just mentioned Margaret as an illustration.

ClaryFray Shockingly don't think many of my kids friends are going to be familiar with Ab-fab.

Maybe Patrick though?

@IACGMOOH Eddie and Edie are different though. Edie is pronounced eedee and is a women's name. Eddie is eh-dee and is a mans name. Also a dress isn't a child so weird comparison

I absolutely love boys names for girls - Robyn etc. I love Eddie for a girl. Eddi Reader is apparently short for Sadenia. Would you call her something so her initials are E and D and then call her Eddie? I love it though!

Eddie is a boy's name to me. As are Noah, Stevie and James. Don't spell it Eddy either. That means a type of whirlpool.

Don't. Your husband is right.

Georgie might not be too bad if you must be unisex, but not my style.

What about Sequoia?

@BJacks86 I actually love your ideas! I too am a big fan of boy names for girls! And I think Eddie is great!!! But I think I agree, I would probably use a longer name on the birth very !

But hey, go for it! It's a lovely name! And she will totally own the name anyways!

Iknowthatguy, Margret is a perfectly acceptable spelling.

Davina? And call her Dave. Nigella, but go for Nigel? Billy can be short for loads of names, so can Jo. Alexandria=Alex Roberta =Bobby, or Rob, if you really want a talking point.

Why didn't you just rename yourself?

As said, thank god for your DH.

Charlie, George, Sam, Harry, Frank ie, Tom, Ollie, Max, Henry, Jack, Lee, Vic, Paul, Toni, Chris, Danni, Andi, Bertie, Ray, Lesley, Bernie, Phil, Pat, Matty, Ronnie, Monty, Kit, Lou.

She won't thank you though.

OP my current top name for my DD2 is Noa! I don't understand why people need to be so rude. I quite like Eddie and if you do then use it. The only thing I can think of it being short for is Edith or Edwina though. Good luck!!

There is a female version of James in Scotland 'Jamesina'. It's pronounced jam-ess-eye-na and get's shortened to 'Ina', pronounced 'eye-na'. I think it's ugly, mind you, though not as ugly as Eddie for a girl. Edina is quite nice, and the person who was making up names that could be shortened to Eddie should button their lip.

If you want her to be called Eddie pronounced Eedee just call her the girls name Edie. Much better than the awful Eddie/Ed/Edith.
