Lily or Meadow?

[lucydannygirl]

35 wks pregnant- scan = girl
Names shortlisted are:
Lily Belle
Or
Meadow Elizabeth

Elizabeth is my mums middle name. I love both of these names but struggling to choose.
Perhaps an opinion poll would help? ?

Meadow is lovely. I do know quite a few little Lily's. I love the previous posters suggestion of Lilibeth Meadow or Elizabeth (nn Lily) Meadow. Gorgeous options!

Love Meadow - never heard of it before (as a name, obvs) and I think teaming it with a timeless classic type name is a really good idea, so if she grows up and takes against Meadow (in the way of teenagers) she can use her middle name, which isn't as much of an option for Lily Belle.

All the Elizabeths I know are solicitors, BTW, whereas Belle in Gone with the Wind could have been done for soliciting. HTH

Balia that made me laugh! genuinely enjoying reading all if your opinions - thank you

I would expect some raised eyebrows upon introducing your daughter Meadow. It just seems like a very off the wall choice to me for a baby. It does sound pretty but I'm not sure it's really a goer.

I did try to resist but can't
One man went to mow, went to mow a meadow, one man and his dog, woof went to mow a meadow,
tow men went ot mow, went to mow a meadonw, tow men one man and his dog, woof went to................
shocking name, althoug I am teribly trollyed so may be not the person to judge.

DS (5) has a friend at school called Meadow, in fact he gravely informs me that they used to go out together but now they're 'just friends'...

The name did make me ? initially, but now I think it's quite sweet.

meadow,nah too agricultural
not nice association like dung,wellies,cows

Sorry , the only name I like is Elizabeth
Liliy Belle sounds like a dairy cow
Meadow is a field , not a name
Elizabeth Lily is the best combination IMHO .
But she's your baby , not mine
