Im 34 weeks pregnant with a little
girl and we still can't pick a name! Her middle name will be Jean, and so far we have narrowed it down to the following first names. Please can I have honest opinions? I've changed my mind so many times and it's starting to drive me crazy!

Isla
Eva
Edith/Eadie

It's worth mentioning that in our area, none of the above are overly popular! Thanks in advance Smile

Jean as a first name instead?

Janinec123 · 31/03/2015 20:43

Love eva!!! We are thinking of Aoife or Anna for ours so quite similar.

I don't like it enough for a first name, my husband would like it in there somewhere for sentimental reasons but again would prefer it as a second name rather than a first.

Eva is my favourite too

scratchandsniff · 31/03/2015 20:45

I think Edith is lovely and not a name you hear very often. Whereas lots of Isla's and Eva's round here.

OnceMoreAgainWithFeeling · 31/03/2015 21:13

I LOVE Edith. Absolutely lovely, and I love Edie as a NN.

Isla is nice but very popular.

Eva is ok but again, very popular, and a bit dull imo.

Ahh you're all picking my two favourites - Eva and Edith!! Now how to decide between the two!

Edith! Other two are nice but overdone now. Edith is a real classic and Edie is a lovely nickname

BikeRunSki · 31/03/2015 21:26

Edie Jean sounds great.

lexie3 · 31/03/2015 21:26

I would go for Eva!

scratchandsniff · 31/03/2015 21:30

I came across a little girl called Esther the other day. Thought that was also lovely and not used very often.

Sophronia · 31/03/2015 22:19

Edith. Eva is nice too but I know so many Evies.

applecatchers36 · 31/03/2015 22:28

Edith is my favourite the others are really popular IMHO

katiekatie · 31/03/2015 22:32

Estelle?

cosmicglittergirl · 31/03/2015 22:33

Edith

Jeannie

verelab · 03/04/2015 20:12

Edith and Eva both lovely

smokedgarlic · 03/04/2015 21:02

I love Irene and Eileen ... both underused

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 03/04/2015 21:05

Love Edie, minus the a.

Pandora37 · 03/04/2015 23:58

Edith is too old fashioned, Edie on its own is too nicknamey. Isla is pretty but possibly a bit faddish. So I'd go with Eva, it's pretty and a classic.

Pandora37 · 03/04/2015 23:59

I meant to say Edith is too old fashioned for my taste. I think Eva works really well on a little girl, a teenager, a middle aged woman etc. more than the others do.

NormaSwilley · 04/04/2015 00:44

Isla and Eva are just too ubiquitous.

Edith is a bit old-lady for my taste, but I like Judith.
