We knew we were having a baby girl from the 20wk scan and started to think of a name. Short list from then has been Violet, Roisin, Olwen and Audrey with Roisin and Olwen as favourites. Our baby girl was born on Monday and that's when dh stated he wasn't sure - Olwen been to unusual and Roisin because he remembered the only person he knew with the name died tragically so its a bad omen. I think we should stick with our shortlist dh wants to start looking again the trouble is family ate trying to get involved.

Congratulations on your new baby.

Would your dh like Rise (Irish for Rose) and is similar to Risn(pronounced Ro-sha) or Rosalind.

If your dh doesn't like Olwen, would he like Olivia/Olive/Bronwen/Eileen(pronounced eye-leen).

Orla?

I think Olwen is great; know one under 10. Otherwise, how about Tamsin, Corinna, Kerenza or Cerys?

Less keen on Violet and Audrey, but then it's not my baby.

Agree with advice on keeping family out of it.

Of your shortlist violet is beautiful

What about Eloise - it's lovely too

Don't let anyone push you into choosing yet though.. Take your time

Congratulations on little baby

I love olwen and violet. If he's gone off olwen and Roisin are Audrey and violet still on the list or are they off too?
