Girls names needed....getting urget!

[SweetTea]

Suggestions for a girls name please, i'm starting to panic!

Mustn't end with an 'e' sound, such as Evie, Daisy, Millie etc.

Not keen on trendy names but also not keen on very traditional, posh sounding ones!

Please help! :)

We're going for Genevieve for our dd.

Someone suggested Afton a while back and I think that's lovely too.

Pippa Frances

this has been my choice for a DD both times but I have only been blessed with boys

DH would really like to have a reference to his mum in a girls name choice. Sadly she is dying of a brain tumour so i think it would be lovely to do this too.

Her name is Maureen. Neither of us are keen on the name, but she is known as Mo to some, so i'm just trying to think of first names that would go with Mo as a middle name? Or variants of the name Maureen.

Pippa is short for Phillipa isn't it? Sounds a little too posh for my liking, sorry!

I like Lila.

She was a character in Sweet Valley High. I was obsessed with those books.

Oasis also did that song "Hey Lila"

Grace is lovely too.

I don't care if a name is common, if I like it, I'll use it.

If we are having a girl she will be called Amelia.

My cousin has a girl called Madeline, nice name.

What about Lila (or Lilah) Mo?

Carla?
Keira?

Grace would be out if we went with Mo as a middle name as i think the first name would need two syllables.

what about Mairin or Morisa? Or the Italian version Morena.

Oooh do let it be Lila! I would be so flattered someone thought the name nice enough.

Detectivepotato that is where I got the name from , not that I thought as a teen "that's what I want to call my baby" but I remembered the name when I was pg. DH thinks it is very funny that our daughter is named after a character in a trashy teen book!

I just asked DD (3 yo) if she likes her name and she said "yes, because different names are not my name" I think she thought it an odd question because she then said "you're just being silly!"

My fave girls names, in no particluar order:

Orla
Iona
Ella
Rose
Miriam
Julia
Amelie
Isabella
Martha

We are expecting number 2, if a girl will prob use a combination of these names, maybe Amelie Rose or Ella Rose

Good luck x

I like Ella Rose too but someone in the family has already taken it!

Also like Florence Rose but won't be using that now, don't like to associate myself with the Tories! :o

Still liking Lila or Lilah, not sure how we should spell it. Thoughts?

Never heard of Sweet Valley High, I actually first heard the name on a uk youth drama series and thought it nice.

Telsa, i think DH really wants 'Mo' so Mairin or Morisa are out. Another variant of Maureen i thought was 'interesting' was Mareena. Not keen on Mo but don't really know what else to do or say about it.

So Lila/Lilah still the front runner i think.

I have an Eliza who calls herself 'Lila' (she's only 2yo!). Everybody says what a lovely name it is. I think it's beautiful and quite unusual, i've never met another.

Lila Mo is cool.

Lila was also the feisty lawyer lady in Angel.

National Statistics for Girls names 2008 puts Lila at 284 and Lilah at 668 - so not exactly trendy!

Go for it!

Not keen on Lila but I like your earlier suggestion of Carla.

Well we had a scare yesterday and i ended up spending the day in hospital as i thought i was in labour. Turns out the little one didn't want to come out so i had to go home again!

I would put money on it being a boy as its been a little tinker lately! But it was an interesting exercise as we talked about names again and when under pressure the name we decided on was Lilah Mo.

Liking your positive vibes NotAnotherNewNappy, thanks!

Yes Lila was only a name I had heard Americans called until recent years - Kate Moss making it more popular by calling her daughter it.

I think it has always been a fairly standard name in the U.S.

Kate Moss' daughters father is American so maybe he suggested it.

My mothers name is Rosina and I have always loved it, but I had a son so never been able to use it. Everyone has always said oh thats a nice/unusual name. She was called Rose when she was a teen
