Four for a girl...

20 replies

So, much to my delight, I've found out I'm expecting a baby girl in June. There's one name I love (Claudia)...but there are five other names I think are really pretty and I'd love your opinions (positive or negative). And if anyone can think of similar names to add to my list that would be wonderful too!

So I've got:

Claudia
Annabel
Jemima
Louisa
Sophie
Antonia (nn Noni)

Thank you!! Iheart - do you like your name? Do people call you Toni?

I like it but I use a shortened version which my mum hates. I would neverask her to use it and I'm also happy to be addressed as Antonia. I'm not trying to put you off it but just be very aware that there are a lot of abbreviations and she or her friends may choose to use one that you hate!

Actually I think over the course of my life I have used 4 different versions, none if which my mum liked! She likes Toni but I hate it!

I like Louisa the best.

How about Allanah?

DickdastardlyAndMutley · 03/03/2013 18:18

Jemima is the only one I like from your list

sw11mumofone · 03/03/2013 18:25

Claudia is the best. Love that name - its on my list.

Stixswhichtwizzle · 03/03/2013 19:32

Annabel is the best but I'm biased :)

thank you everyone! I've just thought of another one I like - Jessica. Any thoughts?

Jessica is lovely. As is Louisa. Sophie is nice but quite popular.

I have a Sophia Louise :o

Sophia Louise is gorgeous! I adore Sophia, but have a close friend with the name so feel reluctant to use it, not sure why. She'd probably think it was flattering! Shall add it to the list.

Claudia.

AugustaLoveday · 03/03/2013 22:12

Clarissa?

RightUpMyRue · 03/03/2013 22:12

Louisa is my fave out of those then Sophie.

How about Phoebe?

RightUpMyRue · 03/03/2013 22:13

Or Clara or Cecily?

Rolf · 03/03/2013 22:17

I love all those names. My favourites are Claudia and Jemima but they are all lovely. We almost called DD2 Antonia but decided against it because we didn't like the nn Toni. We also had Jemima on our shortlist.

Thanks for the great suggestions everyone - my list is getting nice and long - which is good! I've added Isabella too.

I like Claudia and Louisa the best. Both are on my list. My DD is Jesse (spelt the boys way) which I love, as its a name in itself, but Jessica lovely too.
