So, my partner and I are useless at choosing girls names (we decided our first daughters after seeing it on a magnet at a water park!) I wondered if I could get some inspiration here. The list of names we have thought about so far are:

Abigail
Alexandra (partner likes I'm not so keen)
Georgia
Grace
Harriet
Imogen ( I'm on the fence with)
Leah (I like, partner's not so keen)

Our surname begins with C. Any ideas gratefully received.

I like Abigail, Alexandra and Georgia best; second suggestions of Juliet and Francesca.

How about Stephanie, Rebecca or Maria?

Lots of lovely ideas. Unfortunately, can't use several as they are family, friends or friends childrens names - Emma, Laura, Charlotte, Juliet, Beatrice and Scarlett.

Quite like Alice and Annabelle (I must have a thing for A names!) Also, nice to have good feedback on most of the list options.

Dependent on first name, Alexandra is a strong contender for middle name.

Alyssa
Aria
Ava
Alicia
Arabella
Ada
Ariadne
Alana
Adriana (one n or two whichever you prefer)
Andrea
Anastasia
Alena
Aurora

I love Alyssa but my partner hates it, think he knew someone called it who wasn't very nice. Thanks for the others though, some great ideas.
