STILL not settled on a name. Aaaaaargh!!!!!

[SarahScot]

I hate choosing baby names, so frickin' stressful!!!! DH and I can't agree on anything. It was easy with DS 3 yrs ago, DH said 'How about calling him Jamie?' and taht was that.

This one is a girl and here's what we have at the moment:

Marnie
Orla
Isla
Florrie
Anya
Emma
Laila
Ava
Millie
Tilly

Help!

I like Marnie, Isla, Anya and Ava. Although I think some the other's are lovely, I think of them as nn's. I really love Florrie as a nn for Florence. Good luck with choosing, it took me ages to make a decision

Marnie - quite nice
Orla - not keen, a bit "now"
Isla - OK, but again a bit "in fashion", prefer Iona
Florrie - like as nickname for Florence
Anya - OK
Emma - like
Laila - OK but think of Eric Clapton "Leyla"
Ava - OK but very popular
Millie - like
Tilly - not keen as dislike Matilda

Marnie - terrible
Orla - lovely but very ordinary where I am (Ireland), I know approx 16
Isla - lovely
Florrie - I cant take it serously as dd has an old teddy bear with a hat whos named florrie. That said, Florence is lovely.
Anya - beautiful
Emma - beautiful
Laila - beautiful, this was the name we would have called dd except we have a 2 syllable surname with both syllables beginning with L - too much.
Ava - lovely but bit boring
Millie - lovely
Tilly - too twee for me, is this short for Matilda?

I agree- its sooo stressful!!!!

Millie then Marnie ive got a Romilly and she somtimes gets called Milly

Isla has become very popular where we live (East of England), but I do like it. I like Orla a lot too.

Emma

Marnie...really dislike
Orla...dislike
Isla....like
Florrie...dislike
Anya...dislike
Emma...like
Laila...OK
Ava...like
Millie...dislike, very very popular
Tilly..dislike, reminds me of that awful Tilly Vosberg (or called something like that)

Emma is lovely and quite under-used I think.

Tilly is a nice nn for Matilda.

Really dislike Laila, sorry and not fond of Marnie.

Marnie - like - but would it be short for something?
Orla - v nice
Isla - nice but bit trendy
Florrie - nice but is nn?
Anya - nice
Emma - bit boring
Laila - lovely - my fave
Ava - nah too trendy
Millie - as above
Tilly - as above

Maybe pick two/three and see what she looks like?

SarahScot are you after opinions on your choices, suggestions or both?

My favourites are Orla and Emma but not keen on Florrie.

I like Orla and Emma best. Also like Marnie and Anya as I know grown up ones who are fab :)

I have a Millie (Millicent)- supposedly popular, but don't know any others. Is fab
Emma is my sister's name - uber popular early 70's- due a revival, very classic.
Wanted Florence for DD2(who is Philippa, nn Pippa)- was my gran's name. DH didn't like the idea of it getting shortened to flo, and wouldn't be persuaded on Flossie
so I like those three. Good luck!

JJJ . . . I'm not sure . . . maybe just someone to tell me what to call her once and for all?

Marnie is a gorgeous name as is Anya I have always been partial to millie

the rest I am just oh ok with none of them makes me go ewww

I like Emma, Orla, Anya and Laila best.

Call her Emma then. So are you sorted out now?

Emma

Anya or Orla are lovely.
Find Emma a bit dull personally.

I love marnie and think it goes with your sons name. i like laila too but its quite popular now with lots of different versions (lyla,lola,lily ect..).

I really like Marnie.
