Please could you share your favourite girl names? Either that which you would use to name a baby or one you would have liked to be given yourself?
Emergency baby naming situation!
Many thanks

All names I would have loved but either are taken in the family or sound stupid with my surname.

I'm watching this thread btw op so we better have an update on what you choose!

Sophie. Is DDs middle name and I still wish it was her first name! But DH didn't like it so we compromised on her first name. Still love it though

I actually changed my given name to a different one that I much preferred, but have only ever met one other person with the name in r/l. There are a couple in pretty famous books too, I keep getting asked if I'm named after them, even though I was in my 30s when one of them came out Grin
Thinking back to what I would have called my sons if they'd been girls, I shudder at the narrow escapes they had Grin and Dd was named for her great grandmothers.
I think my favourite girls name of always though, that I have liked consistently for years and years, is Eleanor. It doesn't date someone, or have "class connotations" or anything like that, it's a timeless beautiful name Grin

Beatrice. I love it. DS would have been baby Bea if he'd been a girl and DH doesn't want any more little people. I won't be using it, so it's all yours Wink
