Ok so I like simple/shorter names, nothing too frilly, want something cool/surfey/ slightly bohemian but not too try hard....her brother's name is Finn if that gives an idea of our taste.

Thanks so much in advance this is driving us both nuts!

Maggie? Harper? Taylor? Jess? Ooh... Drew? Slightly boyish and goes with Finn

you aren't going to find the one, there is no one. pick a name which doesn't not suit her - i have two dds, one has a longer, more serious name, one has a diminutive (shortening of birth cert name), the first fitted immediately, the second took a couple of weeks. you can probably tell which kind of name she would suit, pick one you both like of those and she will grow into it.

(i like robin, martha, juno, esther, edith/edie)

I was coming on this thread to say Jess, but it's already been suggested.

Cool name which matches Finn perfectly.

What have you been calling her?

matilda, shortened to Tilly. But then im biased as my tilly is the most delightful cheeky 5 year old any one could ask for.

MsJupiterJones · 03/04/2013 21:50

Anyone remember the 'Toby for a girl?' thread? I've thought since then that would be such a cool name.

How about Winter as an homage to the current weather. It's a bit boho.

I have a Tilda. Can't go wrong with that.

ScrambledSmegs · 03/04/2013 22:19

Lara is lovely.

Scout is awesome, although was actually a nickname in To Kill A Mockingbird so your DP is technically right Grin
