I'm finding it really difficult this time to get some names I really like. Have a dd called Emily, and don't know if the new baby is a boy or a girl. Please someone give me some inspiration, it's starting to stress me out!

I've thought about it so much that I don't even know what I like any more, aarrgghhh! Hannah was on the list but I'm just so indecisive that I can't seem to settle on anything. I wasn't like this with my first.

Emily and Hannah sound gorgeous

MiniAlphaBravo · 02/11/2017 21:19

I think it's pregnancy hormones, I was a bit like that.
I like family names or historical/literary figures for inspiration. Emily and Hannah sound nice together.

Emilys I know have siblings called:

Oliver, Henry, George, Ben, Simon

Olivia, Jemima, Jessica, Harriet, Georgina

I also think Emily goes well with:

Aiden, Alexander, Dominic, Elliot, Harvey, Isaac, Joshua, Jack, Lucas, Matthew, Nathaniel, Nicholas, Owen, Oscar, Patrick, Reuben, Thomas, William, Zachary

Anna, Alice, Amy, Amber, Claire, Catriona, Chloe, Caitlin, Felicity, Frances, Grace, Gabriella, Hannah, Isabel, Jasmine, Katherine, Katie, Laura, Lauren, Leah, Megan, Madeleine, Matilda, Phoebe, Rebecca, Rachel, Ruby, Rosie, Sophie, Sophia, Victoria, Zoe

I mentioned Blythe a while ago, but no takers, so trying again Smile

Hannah is a lovely name. It's an underused classic.

Sometimes if I'm stuck for ideas, I look at the meanings behind the names to give me inspiration. For instance, the meaning of Hannah is 'grace', which is a lovely meaning.

Other suggestions:
Grace
Daisy
Catherine
Clara
Lucy
Sophie
Phoebe
Hope

Ethan
Isaac (I know this name means 'laughter')
Noah
Benjamin
Freddie/Frederick
Theodore/Theo
Tobias
Sebastian
Oscar
Liam

If dh hadn’t vetoed both names then my kids would be Emily and Daniel.

I love both of those names but on balance decided that dh was just about nice enough to keep without them. Grin

kittytom · 02/11/2017 23:40

Hannah is lovely. Isabelle?

I am a bit the same about names like classic ones. Thomas and James, that type of thing.

kittytom · 02/11/2017 23:40

so like classic ones...

Oneeyebrowupmum · 02/11/2017 23:49

Think of a quality or attribute you love or would like your child to have and then google the meaning ( double check)in your favourite language or culture. Keep a few names and when the baby arrives you will know which name is perfect .All the best.
