We're still seeking inspiration. Can you give me your absolute favourite girls name - just one - never min whether it goes with siblings or surname or is too posh or dh doesn't like it. I'd just love to know everyone's favourite. Maybe we'll be inspired.

At the moment my favourite name is Tahlia. I was going to use it with DD3 but exMIL kept saying I-talia instead so went with something else Angry

DH thinks I insisted on calling DD "Josephine" after a quite-liked aunt.

In fact, she was named after John Otway's song of the same name. Click & enjoy:

Sylvie-Rose.

Cecily - just beautiful and timeless (and oddly not my daughter's name)

timtam23 · 20/09/2012 00:59

It's already been mentioned more than once but - Naomi. Far & away my favourite girls' name. I love my DSs but am wistful that I never had a Naomi.

shhhgobacktosleep · 20/09/2012 01:12

As others have given many more than one favourite I am sneaking back with Norah - still not my dd's name but I have hopes for a granddaughter one day Wink

I hope Norah's surname will not be Bone.

Isabel (my amazing sister) - why, oh why has everybody already used it? Now I can't.

emmyloo2 · 20/09/2012 08:52

God I can only choose one?

If I can only choose one then it would have to:

Alexandra

(I think)

but then also

Elizabeth
Henrietta
Victoria

as back ups.

also loving Isadora at the moment...

lookout · 20/09/2012 08:52

Inès, if we ever had a girl this would be her name. I adore it. Only boys so far though...

EmmaNemms · 20/09/2012 09:31

Henrietta and Amelia (DD's)
Iris (close third)
Cordelia (never had the confidence!)

GinaAr · 20/09/2012 09:33

Our girls are called Maria and Sarina (Mediterenean for Sarah)
We also liked Eva and Isabella

EmmaNemms · 20/09/2012 09:34

My Amelia is in the 6th form - never met anyone of her age with the same name, I am obviously a trendsetter!

Spanishomelette · 20/09/2012 09:34

Thea
Esme
Anya
Miranda
Rosalind
Susannah

In that order! I love the name Thea and really hope it doesn't get too popular.

Alice, Charlotte, Victoria. And I wouldn't shorten any of them.
