No name for one week old daughter. Please help.

[Imnotsurehowtogetthisout]

Our daughter is one week old. Please help us chose from this shortlist. Other suggestions welcome too..

Ida
Matilda
Phoebe
Claudia

We have probably already crossed off Vivienne and Florence from the shortlist.

Middle name we like is Rose. Again, other middle name suggestions welcome.

Claudia Rose is my favorite!

Congratulations on your daughter OP.

Really classy shortlist of names, and I am sure your DD will be happy to grow up with any of them.

I do like Matilda a lot (and would seriously consider it for any future DD of my own) as it is a pretty name which gives her some nice options too - she could be Matilda, Mattie, Tilda, Tilly - whichever suits her the best. I know I really liked deciding which name I would go by, and my own name Katharine gave me exactly that kind of degree of choice - Kat, Kathy, Kate etc.

I also like Ida a lot. Might you also consider Idalina? As a variant of that name which again gives options, so she could go by Idalina, Ida or Lina when she is old enough to care what she is called.

Claudia, for me.

Ida or Claudia. Not keen on Matilda but I think it's my accent which makes it sound a bit harsh, I like Tilda though.

Phoebe is my favourite from your list, Matilda is very popular just now, and I'm not keen on Claudia or Ida.

Rose, Mae and Grace are hugely popular as middle names. April would be a pretty middle name for her, or perhaps name her for a loved relative, or Iris for a springtime flower?

Phoebe April would be lovely, but whatever you pick, congratulations on your beautiful daughter.

Phoebe Blossom

Ida Rose is gorgeous

What about Rose Ida?

I love Claudia.

Matilda and Phoebe would grow on me.

I don't like Ida.

From your list definitely Matilda Rose. I do like Leila and Olive too x

Ida Rose is beautiful and unusual by far the nicest of your choices although Olive is sweet also.
I really dislike Matilda and phoebe just not to my taste but go with what you love the most :)
And congrats!

Ida Rose just sounds like "I had a Rose" with a London accent to me! I like Phoebe best from your list.

Phoebe Rosemary

Ida rose is gorgeous

Congratulations!!!

Phoebe or Matilda for me.

Congratulations!

Ida is awful. Old woman on Corrie style, goes well with Hilda, Elsie, Ivy and Ena .

I like Claudia and Matilda.

Phoebe or the previous suggestion of April. Although you don't have April roses, a bit early in the year. April Blossom :)

Ida is lovely and really unusual without being made up.

But I'm biased, because I have an Ada

I just love simple, short, un-frilly names like that.

Ida or Claudia Rose, both lovely.

OP please don't feel you have to rush this! We named DD when she was two weeks old. I love her name now, I'm pleased we didn't rush it, despite pressure from family!

We tried a different name from the shortlist out each day, for a few days, and that helped eliminate some.

Agree with pp. Ida rose sounds like "I had a rose"
What about Iris?

Ida is fab. I would use one of your other front runners as a middle name. Ida Matilda, Ida Phoebe or, my favourite, Ida Vivienne.

Congratulations on your new baby!

Claudia is my favourite from your list, by a long way actually. Ida is my least favourite, it's the name of a pinny wearing, 1940's char lady.
