Going on from the boy thread. I'm 14 weeks so don't know what I'm having yet but I have the feeling its a girl. Only problem is we have a boys list a mile long but only some ok girls names.

I love Teddy, Tyger, Wolf, Fox, Dexter etc for boys but can't seem to find any names like this for girls. Any ideas?

I have a 'kitty' whose real name is lydia. She's ten now though.
I also have a Rosamund and a Clara.

My DD 14 mo is Dylan and I love it.

I love Vespa or Dana.

Great thread! A few of our potential names on here and Kitty is going on the list. Love something a bit quirky, apparently Isabel is obligatory for your new baby daughter where I work...

LePetitPont · 01/03/2014 11:27

theblueducks Vespa is awesome - loved it from casino royale!

Some great names for pets here.

The main thing to remember when naming a child is that they have to live with it, not you.

the coolest girl in my school was called shelley (michelle), so just sayin' there's no guarantee a cool name=a cool child!

congratulations on your pregnancy and have fun choosing a name!

Rowan and Autumn are 'too funky' according to my five year old. But I love them!

I don't know, I think I would love to be called the majority of names on this thread.

My name is Rebecca. It was ranked number 5ish when I was born and there are hundreds of us. Pretty name but zzzzzz. One class I was in had to have Rebecca, Becca, Becky, Bex and Rebecca M

The trouble is that everyone assumes that their child will be beautiful, happy, clever, confident, outgoing and happy to stand out from the crowd. Not everyone is or does.

BabyMummy29 · 01/03/2014 16:36

I've come across quite a few girls called Bonnie who didn't turn out to be very bonny

gertiegusset · 01/03/2014 16:43

Ophelia? Hmm
The ramifications are endless.

Grennie · 01/03/2014 16:44

Kitty sounds like she will be a lap dancer.

gertiegusset · 01/03/2014 16:52

I wonder why Kitty always gets such a bad press on these threads, and I don't like it either btw.
Kitty Fisher connotations or just soppy?

NeedsAsockamnesty · 01/03/2014 17:59

Nothing at all wrong with orphelia it's a nice name

legoplayingmumsunite · 01/03/2014 19:47

I you sure Orphelia is a nice name? I thought Ophelia was bad enough what with the going mad and drowning...

NeedsAsockamnesty · 01/03/2014 19:57

Does not stop it being a nice name.

Just the same as shrek does not stop Fiona (if you like that name) being nice or Mrs west does not stop rose being a nice name

gertiegusset · 02/03/2014 00:42

I just imagine being called Ophelia at school.
Let's have a Ophelia...ad nauseum.

NeedsAsockamnesty · 02/03/2014 01:57

You know people called orphelia do exist,don't you?

Cuxibamba · 02/03/2014 02:53

I know an Azalea, an Aura and a Wren.

RhondaJean · 02/03/2014 03:24

Has anyone suggest jael?

gertiegusset · 02/03/2014 15:20

I know a Fuchsia.

Of course Orphelia's exist (usually Ophelia) , doesn't mean I have to think it's a good idea to call your kid it.

Have you seen the urban dictionary's definition? Shock
