Our daughter is 4 and a half weeks old and we are still trying to finalise her name.

Her middle name is definitely Fern and this is our list for first name:
Eliana
Leila
Matilda

Thanks Smile

I love Eliana. Matilda is super popular...

I prefer Laila (or Láilá).

Squidgling · 22/04/2017 20:58

I like Eliana best as a full name but she is quite likely to become Ellie or Ella which I am not so keen on and are not so pretty or unusual.

Matilda and Leila are both lovely too but much more popular (the spelling Layla was 35th in the 2015 list so although different on paper she may be one of many still when you take into account the different spellings. Depends if that bothers you.

Eliana is beautiful but she will become Ellie/Elle/Ella - not a problem if you like those names!

Love Leila. Matilda is very VERY popular at the moment.

Mrsknackered · 22/04/2017 21:08

Leila Fern is beautiful

SuperBeagle · 22/04/2017 21:11

I like Matilda best and Eliana least.

I like Leila but prefer the spelling Layla.

Leila

Leila

BounceBounceSplishSplash · 22/04/2017 21:31

I really like Eliana but don't like Ellie which could be a potential nn so on that basis Leila is my favourite.

Leila

Matilda Fern is lovely

deluxetrolley · 22/04/2017 23:22

Leila (or maybe Lila?!)

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 23/04/2017 09:43

I don't like Eliana.
Love Matilda, but I think Leila Fern, sounds best.

GinIsIn · 23/04/2017 09:44

Matilda Fern is lovely but Fern is so pretty could that not be the first name?

Rockaby · 23/04/2017 10:19
  1. Matilda (love)
  2. Leila (really like - would spell it Layla though, like the song)
  3. Eliana (pretty, but a but flowery maybe)?

Leila

Eliana could have Lia as a nickname if you don't want Ellie.

Loyly · 25/04/2017 11:22

Leila

BasicBetty · 25/04/2017 12:55

Eliana Fern - gorgeous!

Orangebird69 · 25/04/2017 12:57

Leila. Lovely name, and I like that spelling too.

Baconsausageandegg · 26/04/2017 22:25

Matilda

Tilly and tilda are super cute as is matty !

Then Leila - nice but the Ines I know are all called Leils - which personally I don't like

Eliana is a bit fussy - I love the nickname Ellie though however if popularity bothers you this may be an issue :)
