my shortlist girl.... Thoughts??

[fireflynight12390]

River
Luna Rae
Indie Rae

Seren Beau
Hermione

Martha
Esme Rae
Ines Rae
Rain
Camille
Mirren
Harriet
Fleur Beau

Hermione and Camille are lovely.

Fleur is bleurgh.

Thanks in advance
Just wanted a reaction to help decision

You know beau is masculine, presumably?

Not keen on the River / Luna / Indie / Rain type names.

I like Harriet, Esmeralda and Camille.

Yes but I am not french so dont
mind just like the look sound of it

Esme, not Esmeralda. Stupid autocorrect

we have quite similar tastes; I really like Ines and Martha, would have used them myself if I'd had more DDs! Quite like Esme, it sounds nice with Rae, which is a lovely, feminine, unusual but-not-too-quirky middle name too.

However, Beau is definitely a boy's name, and not so keen on River or Rain...

Haha shadowkat there the names I really like luna

Love harriet

Like Martha, Esme, Camille, Fleur, Harriet. Mirren is really lovely. Not keen on river, rain etc as names. Beau means handsome - very odd for a girl.

Some nice names there ....minus the Beau's n Rae's

There are lots of pretty names on the list, spoilt by adding Rae or Beau to them.

Really like Martha, Harriet, Esme, Luna, Seren.

Two combinations jump out at me as being fantastic names:

Seren Hermione and Harriet Martha.

I know of a Seren Beau. The fact it's masculine enrages me. Why not Seren Belle?

I think River and Rain also sound more masculine.

Prefer Rae to Beau anyway so would prob have that as middle name

Rain! definitely rain.

your list is a whole pile of names my DH vetoed. go for it!

I like less common names and want it to be a bit quirky. Draw the line at spelt correctly but that is all

Think Harriet Martha is beautiful but too sensible for me

There is nothing quirky about Rae - it's a standard 'filler' middle name that adds nothing but an extra syllable to the first name.

The new mae???

Yes the new 'Mae' (although Rae has been around a few years already, it's not particulary new))

New shortlist

Martha River
Luna Rain
Camille Indie
Hermione Esme
Harriet Fleur
Mirren Ines

We have a 3 syllable surname

Of those choices, Mirren Ines would be my favourite. I think a three syllable first name is a bit much with a three syllable surname and I'm not keen on nature names (for no good reason, just not my taste.)

Love Martha, I might steal that one. Harriet has always been a favourite but I called my first car that so Bump might not appreciate. I actually Luna Rain best for sound from your list which surprises me as I am a fan of traditional names.

Oh and I know a baby girl called Beau. Very cute.

Sweden Beau/Belle is a bit of a mixture. Ok if you're French and/or Welsh, but only if.

You can't call a girl Beau though. That's just plain wrong/silly.

I think Camille is very hard to pull off without a french accent. It doesn't go with Indie.

All the rest in the new list are very pretty. Even Luna Rain.
