Baby girl 48 hours old and needs a name.....

[Sara13]

Good morning.... I managed to name my last daughter Claudia using mumsnet but ive not made my mind up for my latest.....
It was going to be Nancy but my mum hates it.... I still like it but not 100 % sure if i have wobbled

Here are some others ive thought of

Alexandra
Estelle
Marcia
Erica
Lydia
Naomi
Louisa

Or any other suggestions????
TIA

Claudia and Sylvie.

I also love Nancy by the way. We didn't use it because my DH knows twins who are called Nancy and (which is my eldest daughter's name) and it would have been a bit weird.

How about Irina? That was second on my list, followed by River & Skye...

Sorry my symbols didn't insert there!

I think Louisa is beautiful. I have a Louise only because a friend had chosen Louisa. I also think Eloise is also beautiful and quite similar. I also have an Eilidh which is Scottish Gaelic for Helen and also means sunshine/light. She sure is my little miss sunshine!! good luck hope you manage to chose soon. whatever you pick will be perfect xx

Ps forgot to say love Ailsa too

Love Nancy and Naomi.

Estelle's my favourite, beautiful name.

Clarissa

Nancy. All the others are too frilly and girly. Your mum will get used to it.

Alexandra
Elowen

Alyssa

I guess it's also important how well it goes with her surname...

Love HepHep's suggestions (and nn!)

Ava
Amelie
Grace

Lydia, Alexandra, Nancy

Or Francesca?

So many lovely suggestions, We are going on holiday early August so need to get the passport sorted and she was 8 days overdue which is why we need a name asap. We didn't decide on my sons name until he was registered.... I think im going to go with Nancy.... dont know how im going to tell my mum...... thanks for all the help, ill let you know tomorrow what we call her!! thanks again..

Good luck!

Nancy was originally a medieval diminutive of Annis, just in case that's any help!

Congrats! How exciting! Claudia is gorgeous and I think Nancy is too .

Anastasia (tasia or nancy for short)?

Ooh ooh go with Alexandra, Ola for short (pronounced Olla). Job done

Congratulations btw

Have you decided yet?

Nancy is a lovely name

But I'm biase as that's my 18 wk old DD's name

I really like Alexandra, Naomi and Louisa

It's hard when your mum dislikes a name isn't it? I have the same issue... In theory her views shouldn't matter but in practice I don't want her thinking "horrid name" whenever she sees her DGD!

Ella is a lovely name too.

Oh I LOVE Nancy.....

Don't give your mother a second thought with regards to your DD's name.

Enjoy all those lovely new born cuddles

I went for Nancy Alexandra in the end. My Mum was gutted when I told her.... Oh well just filling in passport forms now.....Thanks for all your help...
