How on earth do I name this baby girl!?

I am so stressed right now Sad she's 5 weeks and 2 days. We can't agree on anything. He says he doesn't like any name apart from Lily 🙄 Lily is okay but definitely not a name that I see her being. I really love April but he says that as she was born so close to April it would just be stupid and that her nickname would become 'Ape/Apes' Confused

She doesn't even look like either name tbh so I don't really know what to do. He likes Kiera and I think it's okay if spelt Ciara but still not 100% and he doesn't like it spelt like that as he thinks people will spell and pronounce it wrong.

So lost right now.

We both quite like Mollie (he hates the y spelling 🙄) but will she be Mols (sounds like moles???)

Help!!

I think that's a lovely picture of a Mollie Smile

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 20/06/2017 22:32

Aww, too cute, little Mollie ⭐️

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 20/06/2017 22:33

Squeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
I want her. She's far tooooooo cute.
Molly is fab name. As the proud owner of one
. I'm probably biased, though Wink.
However, I know its not on your list, but.
The first name that came to my mind
When I saw her was Jasmine

Lemonnaise · 20/06/2017 22:33

Congratulations, she's beautiful. I have a Molly in the family, her nickname is Molls. My favourite out of your names is Ciara/Kiera.

goose1964 · 20/06/2017 22:33

You don't have to shorten a name, I've always used my full name so friends and family never call me by a short form, if you like Mollie just call her tha

Lovelilies · 20/06/2017 22:33

She looks like a Ciara or a Mollie/Molly.
She's beautiful! (And I don't usually say that 😁)

And I have a Lily BTW (hence the username)

Yika · 20/06/2017 22:34

Lovely girl, I think she's a Ciara lily.

228agreenend · 20/06/2017 22:36

She is gorgeous. Congratulations.

What about Millie instead of Mollie,

Heard the name Sadie on the radio and thought that was georgeous.

Also,
Faye
Marnie
Polly
Avril instead of April
Tilly

Although she looks like a Mollie or Cora to me.

ooohahhh · 20/06/2017 22:36

I think she's an April! The only April I know is never called anything other than that.

MissJSays · 20/06/2017 22:38

I think she looks like a Ciara!
I do love Lily though, that's my favourite

Youvegotafriendinme · 20/06/2017 22:39

April or molly!
She's gorgeous by the way :)

pieceofpurplesky · 20/06/2017 22:40

She is beautiful.
Connie?
Mollie is lovely though and suits her

ilovepixie · 20/06/2017 22:40

What are you calling her at the moment?

Clara?
Alice?
She's beautiful Flowers

Badgoushk · 20/06/2017 22:42

She looks like a Hannah or a Matilda to me! Gorgeous girlie.

Composteleana · 20/06/2017 22:42

She's stunning. I like Ciara and April but when I saw the picture I thought 'Mollie, definitely'. I currently have one in my class and she's an absolute delight.

Any name you choose has the potential for shortening/lengthening/ nicknames but you don't have to use them! If you only call her Mollie and if needs be remind friends and family that that's her name and you won't be using any shortened forms, there's no reason she'll automatically get "molls" (and it doesn't sound like moles anyway). She'll probably end up with a nickname you never even thought of. My family are name lengtheners for some reason, my siblings and I all call us by names with something added to them, and the tradition has continued down to younger generation - not by design exactly but it just seems to happen.

Funnyfarmer · 20/06/2017 22:45

I think she looks like a Mollie. Or an Alice.
I know Alice isn't remotely like anything you've suggested.
But at 1st glance I just thought Alice

MollyHuaCha · 20/06/2017 22:46

Congratulations! Gorgeous little girl!

I've never heard of April being shortened to Ape. My MN name is Molly and I've never had it shortened to Mol or Molls...

All of the names you suggest are lovely. Let us know what you decide.
