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!

Thank you everyone. I think we're almost there. Feeling pressure from family and friends who keep asking if we've got a name! Do you think Helena Felicity Alexandra is too much??

If you like all 3 names, go for it!! It is quite a long name BUT your daughter is never going to go around announcing herself like that anyway. She'll be Helena. And pressuring family members can back off!!!

Helena and Felicity were two of our top contenders :)
Much prefer them to the other two, though I sort lof like Harriet (Harry is a cool nickname for a girl :) )

I love Helena Felicity. Just works!
Also to add Alexandra as well if you want!
Congratulations Flowers

Helena Felicity Alexandra is lovely (very Ancient Roman nobility Grin)

But... is there any chance you might have another girl... if so you might want to save your second favourite name? (Plenty of people would disagree with this though!)

HeteronormativeHaybales · 24/01/2016 08:35

Oh, and I think Helena Felicity Alexandra is lovely.

Scarydinosaurs · 24/01/2016 08:46

I love all of them!

I have a bugbear with Helena in that I know three who all pronounce it differently! One is He-lee-na, one is He-lay-na and one is Helen-a.

Anyway, I much prefer Harriet but Alexandra as a middle name is lovely!

No-one I know uses all 4 syllables in felicity, I get Ver-listy, flis-erty or flis-ty. Its just such a mouthful, I wouldn't inflict it on any of my dc

Harriet Alexandra would be my choice with nn hattie

Beautiful names, especially Helena.

I also love Penelope, Erica and Juliet.

Sunshine511 · 24/01/2016 10:47

I think it's a lovely name and totally fine to have two middle names Smile x
