Why am I pregnant again ffs? Stupid Catholic upbringing. My body will an unsalvageable wreck and we will be living in penury for the next two decades.

Anyway. Need a girls name. I am utterly devoid of inspiration, being interested only in grab bags of Skips and having naps.

Already have an Agnes and an Enid. Surname Stephens.

Dislike: frilliness; 'ah' endings; 'classic' names.

Like: fabulous names. I was keen on Ramona the last go-round, but think I might have lost my love for it.

Any suggestions?

Why don't you call her Fabulous?

Vita's great, I grant you. But Fabulous is fabulous.

MitzyLeFrouf · 25/05/2015 22:58

Fabulous would be the perfect name for a mini RuPaul.

SlightlyJaded · 25/05/2015 22:59

I SWEAR I came on to say Vita.

I love it. Strong, elegant and timeless. Doitdoitdoit

VixxFace · 25/05/2015 22:59

Fanny I agree. Not one of these names is fabulous in the slightest. They are hideously ugly.

WhinGin · 25/05/2015 22:59

Dinah?

Nabuma · 25/05/2015 23:02

Temperance?
Suki?
Coraline?
Delphine?
Ariadne?
Adeline?
Sorry if these have been suggested, is a long thread to sift through!
And, sorry to be pedantic, but the girl in Despicable Me is Edith. I only know that because I have an Edith.

Please call her Magda, it's my favourite, but vetoed by DH.

Don't worry. Sometimes it helps to know which names you don't like.

You can't have another granny chic name, it will look like you've got a theme going and chose the name just to be on trendWink

Vera, Mavis, Beryl, Ethel too obvious, just as predictable as Isabella having sister's Evie and Ava

LondonRocks · 25/05/2015 23:32

Diane
Hilda
Penelope
Ida
Deirdre

?!

getbusyliving · 25/05/2015 23:35

What's your son's name, OP? That might be helpful for us when offering up suggestions (sorry I checked to see just how new OP was, not troll-hunting or anything)

MaureenMacnally · 26/05/2015 00:00

Ok, reusit, you're being a little weird now.

In common with many MNers, I frequently switch up details of posts to maintain RL anonymity (next change coming up after I've picked a name, now I've given my kids' names out of course!).

This would seriously be the most boring thing on earth to troll about.

I'm sincerely sorry if I offended you with the wording of my OP. Not my intention at all.

Have a lovely evening. Namaste.

Wanda
Mary
Jane/Jayne (well over due a revival)

MaureenMacnally · 26/05/2015 00:09

I actually really like Jane.it was on early long list then slipped off it. Maybe I'll stick it back on.
