Please help! Our baby girl is here and we can't decide on a name!

Our list is:

Harriet
Georgina
Helena
Felicity

Please let me have your opinions as I feel completely incapable of deciding!

Thank you!

I'm a Harriet and it's served me well, and I like being called Harry.

Felicity is gorgeous though!

Congratulations Flowers - can't possibly give a difinitive answer without a pic though Wink

FriendofBill · 19/01/2016 19:37

Helena.
Lenny.

Lovely!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 19/01/2016 19:40

Harriet or Helena - both lovely.

applecatchers36 · 19/01/2016 19:42

Felicity is great, congratulations Flowers

gymboywalton · 19/01/2016 19:42

helena is so elegant, i love it
harriet is lovely too and i love hatty as a nickname
felicity has lovely associations and i think flick as a shortening is cute

i would go for helena though

TyrionLannistersShadow · 19/01/2016 19:45

Harriet is lovely, congrats!

DoodleCat · 19/01/2016 19:49

Harriet or Georgina were on our possibles list so I'd go with either of those :-)

We tried names out on our daughter for hours/days at a time and then chose the one that lasted. Worked for us, some names got rejected after a couple of hours.

LordOfMisrule · 19/01/2016 19:52

Felicity! I'm 30, and it is my name. It has served me very well so far!

LordOfMisrule · 19/01/2016 19:52

Fliss is my nickname btw, I use Felicity and Fliss interchangeably.

minipie · 19/01/2016 19:54

I like Felicity - lovely meaning, lots of nns - and I like Georgie so Georgina as full name.

Helena is nice but issues over pronunciation (is it Helen-a or Heleyna)

Never been keen on Harriet, or Hatty - no reason, just not keen!

Allalonenow · 19/01/2016 19:57

They are all lovely names, but Felicity is my favourite.

I have a friend Felicity, she gets Fizz as her nn.

SleepyRoo · 19/01/2016 20:01

Georgina my fave from your list - she can choose to be either girlie or boyish.

Georgina or Helena

ashesandfire · 19/01/2016 21:37

I love Felicity, nn Fliss/Flissy/Fizz
Followed by Helena
Follow by Georgina then Harriet but not too keen on the last two. They're a bit boring IMO (I know several of each although admittedly teens)

Sophronia · 19/01/2016 22:52

Harriet or Georgina!

woopywoo · 20/01/2016 10:27

I have Hattie and Felicity (Fliss) ! Both gorgeous names!

Indecisiveness · 20/01/2016 10:27

Thank you everyone! We will try out each name for a few hours and see if that helps. The front runner is probably Helena. We would then go for either Helena Alexandra or Helena Felicity. What do you think of these combinations?!

Sunshine511 · 20/01/2016 11:13

I LOVE the name Alexandra but I don't think it works to well since Helena finishes with 'a', if that makes sense. So my vote is for Helena Felicity.x

spring1bee · 20/01/2016 13:26

love love love Helena and think Lenny is a really cute nn! Or if you're pronouncing it Hel-ay-nah then Laney is a nice nn also :) definitely my favourite from your list.

AuntGertrude · 20/01/2016 13:36

Helena or Felicity

WannaBeAMummy16 · 20/01/2016 17:15

Felicity is pretty

FarrowandBallAche · 21/01/2016 19:14

Harriet!
Fabulous name for every age.

Lizziedripping1 · 21/01/2016 22:55

Helena or Felicity but I think I like Helena Felicity best

Harriet is okay but immediately conjours up images of snotty nosed, public school bullies in books for girls

Madbengalmum · 23/01/2016 14:52

Harriet is lovely
