Just can't decide!!

I'm currently 28 weeks and OH doesn't want to discuss names until 31 weeks Hmm

I'm pretty much sold on my choice of the boy's name: Hugo. Fingers crossed OH likes it!

However, I'm convinced we're having a girl and I just can't decide! I want something a little underused and being a teacher makes the whole naming progress even harder than it actually is..

So what are your thoughts on my list? Can you suggest anything else I might like?
Thanks in advance Smile

Etta
Arianna
Aurelia
Mila
Eliza
Tabitha

Mila is my favourite from your list. I've never taught one. I'm not keen on Tabatha but Mumsnet loves it.

MelinaMercury · 25/04/2017 22:51

I love Eliza but Tabitha is lovely too :)

Etta sounds like a nickname to me.
Arianna makes me think of that annoying screechy Disney girl, Grande?
Aurelia makes me think areola, no idea why.
Mila is nice.

Ive loved tabitha since watching bewitched as a
Child, so well before
Mumsnet.

MelinaMercury · 25/04/2017 22:53

I normally HATE "mumsnet names" so nothing to do with the popular names here!

CreamCheez · 25/04/2017 22:56

I love Eliza, but it would be changed to Ellie, which there are millions of...

Paperdove87 · 25/04/2017 23:04

I think Etta is a beautiful name!

Like all your others too, except to me, Tabitha is a cat's name! Smile

PotOfYoghurt · 25/04/2017 23:09

I like them all except Arianna and Tabitha, which I hate.

Sunshineandlaughter · 25/04/2017 23:14

Henrietta with nickname Etta

Eliza is well used

Philippa or Mildred (milly)?

My daughter is Mackenzie Amelia Grace Smile And whenever I'm asked her name (I obviously only say her first name!) we're usually told what a beautiful name it is! X

toffeeboffin · 25/04/2017 23:52

Love Mila.

Sophronia · 26/04/2017 00:29

Love Eliza and Tabitha. Not keen on the rest.

DramaAlpaca · 26/04/2017 00:33

I like Arianna best, then Aurelia and Eliza. The others aren't my thing.

Buntysoven · 26/04/2017 00:35

I prefer Arianne to Arianna as it's less frilly. That would be my favourite

Sunshineandlaughter · 26/04/2017 00:42

Alannah?

Theycalledmethewildrose · 26/04/2017 00:53

Mila and Tabitha are my favourites.

GinSwigmore · 26/04/2017 01:18

Aurélia

QuodPeriitPeriit · 26/04/2017 01:30

Henrietta NN Etta was on my girl list, so love that! Also like Tabitha and Eliza (know quite a few and none get Ellie btw). Don't like Arianna or Mila or Aurelia much (don't hate them, just don't love them).

Other names on my girl list (had 4 boys so didn't use any) were Eleanor, Genevieve and Iona.

Love Hugo!

MelinaMercury · 26/04/2017 07:14

How about Allana, Elouise, Elodie, Francesca, Carys, Orla(ith), Delilah?

CakeRattleandRoll · 26/04/2017 07:24

My favourite is Tabitha, love it.

IHeartKingThistle · 26/04/2017 07:32

I love Tabitha. Most DHs hate it in my experience though!

I thought Mila was short for Milena.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 26/04/2017 08:06

I love Etta. Juliette/Marietta/Loretta/Scarlett.
Aurelia and Tabitha are also nice.

Aquamarine1029 · 26/04/2017 08:26

What about Flora?

Friolero · 26/04/2017 08:26

I love Eliza, it's my favourite girl's name. Tabitha is very nice too.
