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.

Love Merryn by the way but we have no Cornish connection. Lovely though.

We dont have any cornish connections either! Well technically on dp's side way way way back there is some cornish ancestory apparently.

What type of names do you like?

We have a Constance (Connie) already.
I love Clemency but dh not sure.
Toying with Stella.
Like Catherine a lot but is it our very best name?
I did love Annie but gone off it a bit.

Ava. It's my DD's name, but has become rather popular these days!

If I was to have another DD she would be Alice or Isabella

MissBetseyTrotwood · 20/09/2012 22:09

Constance.

MissBetseyTrotwood · 20/09/2012 22:10

And Robyn.

krystianah · 20/09/2012 22:29

Elspeth. A very underused Scottish version of Elizabeth. Runs in my family as a middle name.

elinorbellowed · 20/09/2012 22:32

Tansy.
I wanted this, but DP said it wasn't a 'real'name. We went for something similar but more familiar instead.

bluebird68 · 20/09/2012 22:34

Ines/ Inez

100mph · 20/09/2012 22:57

Caroline - and the diminutive Caro.

cocog · 20/09/2012 23:10

Dakota, Imogen, Sofia, Lola, Savannah is dd middle name. also love Isabella and Hermione know you said only one but cant chose! I would chose something unique you dont hear as often. Good luck!

janji · 20/09/2012 23:10

Phoebe (bright, shining one)

Kellywestie · 20/09/2012 23:16

Maya and India. Loved them 10 years ago and still love them now. DS would have been one of them with middle name Rose had he been a girl.
