Do you mean Dahlia?

BunnyLebowski · 08/01/2014 21:29

I don't think Dahla is a name.

Dahlia is lovely though.

meringuesnowflakes33 · 08/01/2014 21:33

Makes me think of the Black Dahlia

What about Daria?

HyvaPaiva · 08/01/2014 21:35

Dahlia?

Vatta · 08/01/2014 21:36

Is it dahlia (like the flower) or darla?

I've never come across dahla and think even if it is really a name she'll always get people "correcting" it to dahlia or darla.

Tibby2 · 08/01/2014 21:37

Oh i thought dahla was a name. I prefer it to dahlia :/

Are they cats?

Tibby2 · 08/01/2014 22:07

No my daughter is not a cat nor am i pregnant with one thank you though for feeling the need to write something insulting about my daughters name on this thread you should be proud.

To everyone capable of writing a post without being rude i mean Darla i didn't realise the spelling was wrong.

Darla is lovely.

Rude 50bales. Hmm

lilyaldrin · 08/01/2014 22:33

I'm not keen on Darla - it sounds very American/darlin' to me Grin (and reminds me of the vampire on Buffy!). I don't think it goes with Tilly either which has more of a cosy, English feel.

How about Daisy? Or Della?

I like Dahlia though, very elegant.

Tibby2 · 08/01/2014 22:39

Me and DH are stuck between Darla and Lyla i did a separate post for Lyla and it got a good response as a sibling name for Tilly so am swaying toward Lyla now i think!

Tilly is fabulous!! I dont like the other name... How about delilah?

secretsofsanta · 08/01/2014 22:41

Lyla is nice. How about Luna?

secretsofsanta · 08/01/2014 22:42

Tabitha?

Tibby2 · 08/01/2014 22:43

I do like Della but i would really be using it as a substitute for the name Bella which i love but cant separate from Bella swan the twilight character. Hubby likes daisy but i have bad association with the name :(

OP posts:
lilyaldrin · 08/01/2014 22:43

Prefer Lyla (though I think Lila is a nicer spelling!).

totallyaimless · 08/01/2014 22:44

Love Dahla and Lyla, lovely choices. Luna is cool too, and I also like Lyra, maybe a bit too popular now though?

lilyaldrin · 08/01/2014 22:44

How about:
Lottie/Lotta
Georgie/Georgia
Rosie/Rosa
Maisy

Theonlyoneiknow · 08/01/2014 22:45

If you like Lyla what about Lyra ?

I would go for the name YOU prefer, not which one gets the best response on here

Tibby2 · 08/01/2014 22:46

Love luna! Trying to get DH to come round to that one its a brilliant name, quirky but not too weird! Weirdly tabitha keeps coming up as a suggestion whenever i have this conversation not sure about having both girls with same initials??? If baby even is a girl! If its a boy were set on Felix (another cat name!) :)

Fair enough comment tibby and Bailey, I am sorry, it was a bit off.

Tibby2 · 08/01/2014 22:51

Thanks theonlyoneiknow we will ultimately obviously go with what we love, many close friends screwed there faces up at the name Tilly but we loved it so thats her name! :)

Like Lyra but not as much as Lyla, really like Lottie and georgie but already taken by close friends ....

Tibby2 · 08/01/2014 22:52

Thank you 50balesofhay thats appreciated

Theonlyoneiknow · 08/01/2014 22:57

How long do you have to decide?

Tibby2 · 08/01/2014 23:28

Ha ages! Only 10 weeks gone! Its just while I've been trying to suppress my excitement and massive urges to buy every cute unisex thing i see until at least after the first scan its names that occupy my mind. You can never be too prepared right???? :)
