The Name Elimination Game.

[SarahScot]

Does anyone else find naming their baby massively stressful rather than a fun experience?

DH and I have gone through the baby name book and written a long list of possibilities. Tried to include everything that seemed even remotely attractive to us.

So, here's the game - remove the name that you like the least and repost the list. WIll be interesting (to me at least!) what we're left with.

Layla
Esme
Ava
Edie
Marnie
Anya
Lily
Orla
Annie
Emma
Lola
Beth
Hazel
Holly
Callie
Carys
Camilla
Leia
Rosie
Maeve
Maggie
Sally
Phoebe
Sadie

Ava
Lily
Annie
Emma
Rosie

OP, I just realised it was you. Shame Marnie had to go, it was one of the first to go on the list wasn't it? Fingers crossed the last name is a good one for you

DancingThroughLife I KNEW Marnie would go but had to give it a try

Interestingly though, the ones left are amongst my favourites.

What is wrong with Marnie??

are you definitely having a girl, or do we get to do this again with boy's names?

Ava
Lily
Annie
Emma

Rosie gone - its a nickname.

Lily
Annie
Emma

Removed Ava. It's popular, but I prefer Eva

Lily
Annie

Emma - far too boring.

cerealqueen . . . exactly! I love the name Marnie, unfortunately my DH does not. I started a thread about it a while ago and from the venomous slating I got you'd think I'd wanted to name her Princess Precious Sky Blossom or something.

Omnilap, yes, having a girl. Of course the scans aren't 100% accurate so we could have to do this all over again.

Remove Lily too popular too. Annie wins!

Oooooooooooh, can we play again?

Best of 3 . . ?

Ava
Edie
