ukfirestorm's baby name shortlist

[ukfirestorm]

Last name list, baby due in May, any ideas on these guys, we need to rule some out.

Here's the shortlist of baby names I'm considering that I generated with Mumsnet's Baby Name Finder. Let me know what you think.

Girls
Alice
Avery
Brogan
Elodie
Hadley
Heather
Merryn
Ottilie
Rossella
Scarlett
Tansy
Tressa
Willa
Willow

I like willow and merryn. Hadley and brogan sound like boys names. Arr these for girls and boys?

Merryn for me too.

Elodie
Merryn
Rossella
Scarlett
Willow

Would be my short-short list from your selection

I really like Alice and Ottilie.

Brogan - sorry not for me. Tansy, not as keen on this as the rest. With that exception can picture a little girl with your other choices.

Willa makes a change from Willow.
Best of all I like Elodie, Alice and Ottilie.

Think we have got down to alice defintely being the middle name.
Any to rule out?

Hadley is my friend's cat's name, and he is named after a brand of mountain bike. So, maybe not that!

I only like:

Avery
Elodie
Merryn
Ottilie

Ottilie alice
Merryn alice, rosella Alice, or Elodie alice

My choices would be:

Elodie - but increasingly popular and could well be the next Amelie
Merryn - gorgeous
Ottilie - lovely, but dislike nn Tilly. (Would go for Orly/Otty etc)
Tansy - pretty and unusual
Willa - feels classier than Willow somehow, and has nice literary link to Willa Cather (like Willow for a mn, though).

Alice works quite well as a mn to all of these, I think. Not keen on Brogan (just doesn't sound nice to my ears), Avery (birdcage connotations) and Heather (I see a middle-aged woman).

Another vote for Merryn, it's gorgeous and the best by a long shot!

I quite like Willow and Tansy too.

Of those three you mention, if Alice is to be a middle name, then Merryn Alice if your surname doesn't begin with D.

4 grr can't count!

so down to:

Ottilie alice,
Merryn alice
elodie alice

I like 1) Alice 2)Ottilie 3) Merryn.

Hadley and Brogan sound like boys' names to me, so I would rule those two out straightaway!

fair enough, they are out.

Merryn Alice - but I like Alice better.

I like

Tansey and Tresa

Best :)

Merrin but not merryn. No clue why!

Ottilie and Willow are my favourites

You could use hadley and brogan. Posh called her girl Harper!

Having a girl (girl number two) and need to pic k a name, went with juliette for the first one...

Girls
