It's early days, I'm only 16 weeks, but thought I would start canvassing opinions. Obviously have no idea of gender but thinking about girls names today as they seem to be a lot harder.

I'd appreciate your brutally honest opinions on this little lot please...

Ingrid
Seraphina
Ines
Aurelia
Alice
Harriet
Cecilia/Cecelia
Martha
Ariadne
Astrid

Thanks for all the comments Grin

My favourite name by far at the moment is Aurelia. A lot of people comment that it's too fussy/long winded but it's only the same as Olivia or Amelia - just an extra letter Wink I know a lot of Olivias and Amelias who don't shorten their name.

If it was to be shortened though I think maybe Rae?

I like Aurelia Rose as the middle name. (I know, I know Rose is 'overused' as a middle name apparently..)

My 2 cents:

Ivy-LOVE the sound of it try to put it on my own short list (also due in Nov!) every time I say it, but not super keen on the meaning of it, so not sure about it for my own kid. But love the sound of it.
Ingrid-hate, sorry.
Seraphina-OK
Ines-OK
Aurelia-OK
Alice-beautiful
Harriet-don't like sound of it, reminds me of a grumpy old lady
Cecilia/Cecelia-too "flouncey"for me too
Martha-hate but not as much as ingrid, reminds me of fat middle-aged lady
Ariadne-decent
Astrid-hate as much as ingrid
Thomasina-not for me
Lyra-pretty

nn could be Rae or Lia.

My favourite is Ingrid. It's not a name I'd ever thought of before actually, but yeah, I really like it.

Aurelia is lovely as long as it goes with your surname.
