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.

Grace is my favourite name, very closely followed by Lola.

Naomi

Sorrel, Lyra and Delilah ... Though I won't be using either, DH doesn't like!

Cecily. Not allowed as my husband think its pretentious :(

Dancehall - good job it's a forum then I reserve the right to roundly ignore any instructions I don't feel like following at the time.

If I had to choose from my list, I choose Rosemary.

Lily. I've loved it since I was a little girl.

Future daughter's name: Kate Isobella Anastasia Helen ....

Benefits of Kate: Recogniseable, solid, beautiful. Can't believe no-one else has mentioned it.

I love Catherine, but it is in the family and if I ever used Catherine I would be deemed a copy cat.

Linnet

Cybelia
Hedda
Lena
Sorrel
Waldemar
Loedy
Morag
Petra
Laska (name of my old hamster [blush ditto Morag)

Favourites are Hedda and Lena.

• this is not to say that I would hesitate in considering these for a boy!

Rosemary is gorgeous, but unfortunately wouldn't have gone with our surname

Oh and Esmeralda. :) and Lydia.

If I'd had a DD aged 25 (around 2001) she would have been Florence.

If she'd been born in around 2007 she would have been Evelyn Lyra, nn Evie.

DD born this year and if I'd had my way she would have been called Ramona or Meredith, middle name Jane. DH didn't like either of these so we went with one of my other favourites which luckily he liked. 2 middle names, one of which is Jane.

I also love Stella but we already have an Ella in the family.

Livia, Allegra, Cecilia, Juliette, Serena

Nell

Jemima

Xanthe, the name of my precious angel baby. I think it is beautiful.

Only ds's at home!

Xanthe is lovely!

i know a Laken.I think that's very pretty!

I lost my virginity in an allegra.. or was it an allegro

Polly

Oops I meant Holly, but Polly's nice too!

Hermione

Athena (DD's name)
Isabella
Georgina
Ethel

Alice

Allegra is so pretty and distinguised :-)
