Short list for girls names

37 replies

TheWicketKeeperIsDown · 31/01/2012 00:33

I'm 37 weeks with DC2, so time is getting short, and DH and I have been struggling to agree. We've narrowed it down to a few now and I'd appreciate opinions. I'm not putting the boys' names as my favourite is generally shot down on here (it's a Scottish name which Scots seen to like but English people don't get!) so here's our girls list:

Tess
Rebecca
Beth
India

If it helps, DD is called Naomi.

Definately Beth, Its what DS2 would have been called.

I dont really like any of the other names

manicinsomniac · 31/01/2012 08:52

I like Rebecca and India. Not keen on Tess or Beth

I think Rebecca goes best with Naomi, followed by Beth.

PopcornBiscuit · 31/01/2012 09:46

I like Rebecca best from the list. Beth and Tess are lovely as nicknames for Elisabeth/Bethany or Teresa. India is too 80s "I'm well travelled".

Littlecherublegs · 31/01/2012 10:15

Like Beth - Bethan would be on our shortlist, nn Beth.
And I think Bethan and Naomi go well together.

Not keen on the others, sorry.

Gorgeous names, love them all (except India)

Love Beth (with Bethan as fullname) and Tess. Both beautiful.

meditrina · 31/01/2012 10:18

I think Rebecca goes best, or Beth if it is nn for Elizabeth or Bethany.

Rhubarbgarden · 31/01/2012 14:09

I love India.

nicknamenotinuse · 31/01/2012 14:13

Sorry but I hate Becky so Rebecca is out for me, I love Tess though, lovely name.

Fo0ffyShmo0ffer · 31/01/2012 14:15

Naomi and Tess
Or
Naomi and Beth

Kayzr · 31/01/2012 14:15

Love Beth and India. Both go well with Naomi.

3boysgirlontheway · 31/01/2012 14:19

Beth or Tess for me.

hermionejgranger · 31/01/2012 20:37

I like Beth as a nn for Bethan or Elizabeth...

PDog · 31/01/2012 20:39

I love Tess - just suggested it to dh but he is a bit meh. Sad

Like your other choices too - India is the only one I am not really sure about.

Hulababy · 31/01/2012 20:41

I like Beth and India.

rnbsmum · 31/01/2012 20:41

Definitely like Tess best - gorgeous name!

patsdeadfrank · 31/01/2012 20:42

i like beth. its on our list to.

girliefriend · 31/01/2012 20:43

Don't like India, like Rebecca but don't like Beccy! Beth - not sure, like Tess though also Tessa Smile

LaFilleSurLePont · 31/01/2012 20:44

I love all of them,which isn't terribly helpful I know. Beth or India would be my first choices, then Tess then Rebecca.

melliebobs · 31/01/2012 20:47

I don't like Rebecca just cos what people sometimes shorten it down too. Ie bex, becky, becca

But my gave onthat list is Tess and then India

m1nn1em0u5e · 31/01/2012 20:57

Love Tess, my friend has a little girl called India, she is lovely :)

NotnOtter · 31/01/2012 20:58

love Tess - itching to know what your boys name is!!

phlossie · 31/01/2012 21:07

I love Tess too!!

mistressploppy · 31/01/2012 21:30

Rebecca is a wonderful name. They're all nice names though

I know a 3yo Tess who is a delight, so quite fond of that name too.

chummymummy7 · 31/01/2012 21:39

Tess or Beth/Bethan/Bethany. These seem in a distinct category from Rebecca/India. Tess is best imo. Good luck with it all

littlemonkeybix · 31/01/2012 21:45

I like Beth and Rebecca Smile
