Ok, not a boy, so any suggestions for girls name?

[OTTMummA]

Hi everyone, had my scan today, and after having a feeling that it was a boy am a little suprised, but happy that we are having a girl!
But really hadn't thought too much about girl names tbh, had decided on Rex William for a boy, and love that name sooooo much, i may decided to have another after this one in the hopes i can use it !

So, names for girls we like but can't decide on are:

Phoebe
Zoe
Abigail
Hazel
Jessica
Rachel

any other suggestions are welcome.

Really sorry I don't like any of those.

aaah good names! :) i really like them all :) jessica is my favourite but i also ilke phoebe. congratulations on your girl and hope the rest of your pregnancy goes well

I like all of them except Abigail and Rachel

Hazel is particularly lovely, and a bit more unusual.

I love Phoebe, Zoe and Rachel.

Other suggestions :
Seren
Matilda
Olivia
Lydia
Tess
Maya
Nadia
Elisabeth
Natasha
Harriet
Beatrice
Thea
Hannah
Felicity
Rebecca
Lauren
Elena
Sasha
Amelia/Emilia
Emma
Rose/Rosa
Lily
Iris
Violet

Lola and Lois seem to have become very popular recently too....

Hazel is by far my favourite from your list. Excellent.

Maeve

Audrey

Nora (Eleanora?)

any suggestions posie?

I think Hazel is lovely, plus, on the way to the hospital we stopped off at the bank, and our advisor was a lovely lady called,,, Hazel, i told dh it was a sign if we were having a girl, and he just rolled his eyes at me

Maybe it is meant to be!
It is also his grandma's pet name, which would be nice.

If I had a baby tomorrow she would be called Posy. I love that name.

Phoebe Loads of 8-10yr old girls called this.
Zoe Meh
Abigail Hate Abbey and Gail. Common name, in the not nice sense.
Hazel Oh no, certainly not for a young girl/baby.
Jessica Loads of these, boring.
Rachel That's a name for people my age, again boring.

But don't worry I have a son called Artemus....you should have read what people said about that choice!!

They are all nice names but my fave is Hazel. Jessica is getting quite common now and Rachel feels really common to me because there are so many Rachels in my age group, however I dont know of any younger than about 20 so maybe it's due a revival!
Congratulations on having a daughter!

Congrats on your wee girl! Exciting stuff. Girls rock

IMO none of your girls names are as strong as Rex William (which i think is effing cool) That's not to say I don't like them but they don't 'grab' like Rex William.

I'll have a think and get back to you!

Good luck

Xanthe
Posy
Claudia
Cosima
Violet
India
Eliza
Marina

Are all on my list dh not doing as he's told for future Jaffa baby

Ottilie
Esme
Astrid
Aurelia
Matilda
Suzannah - Zanna as a nn?
Ursula

Any good or way off?!?!?

Girls rule!

Can't go wrong with the older names, there's a reason they endured. I admit I don't go with Jessica/Phoebe's cos whilst they're nice there's a lot of them.

I met a lady today who had a Claudia two months ago and chose it cos there hadn't been any of them in recent times in our local hospital!

I like Rachel - classic and underused in this generation.

Also like:

Sarah
Carine
Esme
Miranda

I quite liked Ariel, but DH vetoed that one, which i did like more than the rest tbh.
But i like Violet, jaffa! i will put that to DH

What do you think about Jennifer and Cassie?

Jetaime, i was thinking of spelling it as, Rachelle, the french way, it looks prettier to me, does that make sense?

Jennifer
Isobel
Rebecca
Rowena
Ruth

No to Rachelle!

Terrible.

Like Rachel very much.

Rachel is lovely

I like Jennifer..classic and I haven't met any baby Jennifer's yet. Are you help with the Jen, Jenny nn? Not to keen on Cassie what about Callie? {clutches at straws}

I have a Rex and a Phoebe....fair enough they are my cats, but we actually named them our favourite baby names as we thought kids were a decade off.

Caroline, nn Carrie?

Ok, obviously not the french spelling!

I like Jennifer, dh not so much, and can't use Callie.

Madamechinlegs, i adore the name Rex, fell in love with it after not liking any boy names at all, i joked with dh about changing DS1's name to Rex when it turned out we are having a girl, he was not amused!
I really wanted to use the name, but can't, so will either be the next baby name if we have a boy, or be relegated for a future pet.

When I found out I was pregnant, I looked at the cats and thought 'grrrr.....what am I going to call the baby???' I actually spent the first day of my poor DDs life calling her Phoebe by mistake
