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
Em

Grace - my DD has it as a middle name as DP wasn't so keen (and I'd vetoed all his suggestions for DS, so he kind of had the upper hand when it came to DD). I also like Blanche (hadn't thought of it before DD came but a thread on here brought it to mind).

Cecilia,
Clementine,
Flora,
Minna,
Mary.

One is DD1 and DD2 undecided yet so thanks OP for a great thread!

Callie although I do like it spelt khali. Should I admit to that on mumsnet? runs and hides

Sophia (love the meaning)
Grace
Saoirse (pronounced 'seersha' - Irish for 'freedom' - sadly I don't think I'd have the balls to use it unless we moved back to Ireland)

We would have used Edith (Edie) but the other 2 sound daft with our surname.
