Help! Our current list is:
-Autumn (but will probably get rid of this as she wasn't born in Autumn)
-Gabriella (not sure on the NNs)
-Grace (not sure why I'm not 100% on this)
-Ivy (reminds me of IV?)
-Matilda (same as Gabriella)
-Olivia (so popular)
-Scarlet (not keen on the Scarlett spelling and I know people will always spell it like that, but then we have that with our son's name, so not the end of the world, but her surname will begin with an S, so I'm put off as I'm not keen on alliteration!)
-Violet (would actually probably go for this but our son is Elliot and they feel way too similar?)

Love, love. Love Matilda.

ChippieBeanAndHorro · 14/03/2017 17:03

I love Gabriella.

Ivy is really pretty as well.

Not a fan of the others, tbh.

If you like Violet... Do you like Viola?

I'm unsure on Iris and Martha Sad I do like Evie but would like to avoid same initials, thank you though!

Grace or Ivy get my vote.

shaggedthruahedgebackwards · 14/03/2017 17:13

Gabriella would be my favourite but possibly not with Elliot

I think Grace or Ivy go best with Elliot

saltyshoes · 14/03/2017 17:16

Of your list I like Grace and Olivia. How about Marielle or Mariella if you like Gabriella?

averythinline · 14/03/2017 17:24

Molly
Chloe
Clementine

I know a few girls with long names that dont use nicknames so if yo dont most people wont

PutThatPomBearBack · 14/03/2017 17:29

I absolutely love Ivy and Autumn!

Sophronia · 14/03/2017 17:37

Matilda

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 14/03/2017 17:58

I like Matilda.

eurochick · 14/03/2017 17:59

Try your favourites for a day each and see what feels right. That's how we chose!

LarrytheCucumber · 14/03/2017 18:00

I have a niece called Gabriella, known as Bella.

Wayfarersonbaby · 14/03/2017 18:01

Matilda and Elliot are really nice together! I love Tilly as a nn.

I also think Gabriella will end up Ella.

firawla · 14/03/2017 18:02

Violet - I think it's fine with Eliot!

BikeRunSki · 14/03/2017 18:03

Grace is hard to carry off if you are not graceful.

Breadwidow · 14/03/2017 18:10

I think the name is not on the list as you don't seem convinced by any of them. We had similar situation DS (pre birth), long list of names but we couldn't decide between any as none were right, and then DH mentioned something else and I knew immediately it was the name.

If you want some new ideas I'd recommend Welsh girls names. I'm no Welsh but I bloody love every single Welsh girls name - all nice, not odd but not common. DD is bethan but there are many others

tinypop4 · 14/03/2017 21:00

I like Ivy. Really pretty name but still 'strong'

kittylh · 14/03/2017 23:10

I like the name Matilda with the nn Mattie. Usually a boys nn sure, but coming from Matilda I think it's cute.
