Baby girl is 4 days old. Current favourite is Fern... What do you think? Any middle name ideas?

I love the name Fern.

HmmmHashtag · 08/09/2017 18:10

Love love love Fern. And Fearne or any other spelling.

Iamagreyhoundhearmeroar · 08/09/2017 18:11

Yes, it's nice.

Iamagreyhoundhearmeroar · 08/09/2017 18:11

Spell it Fern, though...

Jodieee · 08/09/2017 18:12

I am? Confused

My favourite girls name Smile

Oh sorry, that was to Hashtag's suggestion of Fearne Blush

It's my sister's name who is in her late 30s now and she's always had compliments and likes it because it's short. She's Fern Elizabeth because my parents wanted to give her a longer middle name that could give her lots of options if she grew up not to like Fern.

Therefore I'm probably bias because I'm used to it but I love it as a name!

Oh and congrats!

Fern is gorgeous, no need for middle name

Jooni · 08/09/2017 19:47

I think Fern is gorgeous. Cute and quirky but understatedly so. I'd probably pair it with something longish and traditionalish, but it depends on your taste really...

Fern Elizabeth, like mondler's sister, is lovely.

NoCapes · 08/09/2017 19:57

I love it!
I like the Ferne spelling too, not the one with an a though
Due a girl in January but DP has said no Sad

Fern was on our girls list. Reminds me of one of my favourite childhood books. Really lovely.

I tried to think what middle name I'd use but actually i always use family names as mn.

Congratulations, OP!

If you feel comfortable posting a pic of your tiny 4 day old gorgeous bundle, please do go right ahead. Smile

Fern is a very pretty name, and makes me imagine an artistic, creative, nature-lover.
