What is your absolute favourite girls name?

[wildpoppy]

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.

I love Grace, but couldn't have it as our surname starts with Gr.
My two are Eleanor, and Alice. I still love those names.

Eleanor
Elizabeth (probably going to be very popular this year for Jubilee reasons)
Natasha / Sasha
Beatrice

I like Karen - I like the look and sound of it. And judging by this thread it is totally not popular now

I have 3 boys so didn't get to use any girl names. We had lots we could agree on (unlike boys names where we struggled to find common ground).

Hephzibah (or any variant spelling). If I had another girl, that would be her name regardless of DH, surname, teasing or anything else at all!

how on earth do you pronounce that maid??

I like

Blossom
Jennifer
Elizabeth
Eleanor - but thats my niece and she's just as lovely as the name.

I LOVE Hephzibah.
I also love Bathesheba/Bethsheba.

omg are you joking about hepzibah!?

merlin my Dsis is an Ursula. We called her "Ursie" (to rhyme with Nursie) when she was little - it's a very elegant name, suits her well.

I know a Hepzibah nn Eppie.

I love it, also love Dolores.

Kate (dd name)
Grace (mums name)

Florence

Rosa

Cassia

Margaret (my mother's name)
Esther

weird how all the names from the 20's and 30s are returning.
Where are the : Sonya, Erica, Tiffany, Michelle, Angela, Jane, Susan, Jean of my youth?

Effie

Eimear

zipporah...

love Biblical names.

in answer to coorong i think that sonya, tiffany and ange are down the pub

Merryn which is my dd's name! And i saw another poster said she had a dd with same name. thats three mnetters with dd's called merryn and its not a popular name at all!

I also like felicity, violet, meredith, thalia and esme but dp didnt like any of those!

Oh and Eden which i love and sneaked in as another middle name despite dp not liking it!

Lydia

I think Erica or Erika is a very cool name, I'd happily consider Erica as a name for a DD except that I have a friend called Eric so would be a bit like naming her after him, not that he's not a good friend but my group of friends aren't in the business of naming our children after each other.

Susan is my XMIL's name so I'd never ever pick it, shame as I quite like it, and Susie as a nn. Perhaps Susannah instead.

Verity
Violet

If DS was a girl - Harriet.

I LOVED it but bizarrely now I'm pregnant again I'm not keen. So strange.

Now if it's a girl it will be Emma. I'm not overly fussed on the name but strangely something is telling me that's the right name for our girl, should we have one.

My Nan was Bathesheba Mrs D! Everyone called her Bash.

Favourite girls name :

Silvia

Faye

Margot
