Found out we're having a baby girl! We were pretty convinced we were having a little boy so we focused more on boys names oops Blush I've always had trouble thinking of girls names, but here is our shortlist (surname is similar to Jones):

Amelia Eva Jones
Scarlett Eva Jones
Mimi Evelyn Jones
Darcy Willow Jones
Emmy ... Something Jones (Eva doesn't quite go!)

(Eva is DPs grandmother btw but not all names work with Eva) Thanks for your input!

Yes, Emilia Willow is nice and you can shorten to Emmy or Mimi.

dustarr73 · 24/01/2018 11:41

Emmy Jane is pretty

jellycrumble · 24/01/2018 14:42

Wow thanks so much for your input everyone! We are still really struggling and do agree that Mimi works much better as a nickname (it wasn't my choice but DPs) We really would like to try and keep Eva in there due to family connections but you've all given me lots of food for

Amelia Eva Jones - oh god another Amelia
Scarlett Eva Jones - yes
Mimi Evelyn Jones - Mimi Eva is nicer.
Darcy Willow Jones - Darcy is blimmin' awful.
Emmy ... Something Jones (Eva doesn't quite go!) - no.

Emma is nicer than Emmy but you could use Emmie as a nn for Emma. Emmeliana etc are a bit WTF.

Why don't you call her Eva. It's very popular.

GottaGetThisDone · 24/01/2018 17:09

Eva as a name itself if beautiful
Eva Scarlett
Eva Darcy
Eva Willow
Eva Amelia
Eva Mimi

Of your choices Scarlett Eva is lovely

I HATE the name Amelia. It is a birth defect - I honestly am baffled at how popular it is. I do like Emilia though.
Like Eva as a middle name too.

Scarlett - it's nice enough...but in Ireland it means embarrassed.
Mimi - no...sounds strippery.
Darcy - really dislike. Arsey Darcy.
Love Willow - I would use it as a first name...Willow Eva?
Emmy - pretty but maybe short for Emilia? I like Emilia Eva. Love alliterative names.

Alisvolatpropiis · 24/01/2018 18:45

I’d go for Emilia rather than Amelia.

Mimi could be a nickname for Camilla?

I don’t like Scarlett or Emmy.

8mileeminem · 24/01/2018 18:46

I like darcy willow

NinonDeLenclos · 24/01/2018 19:46

I intensely dislike diminutives as first names, it only works in childhood.

Can you see Mimi or Emmy Jones as prime minister?

The Mimi I know is Imogen. I'd go with Imogen, Emily or Amelia.

ladybirdsaredotty · 24/01/2018 20:32

Well I love most of your list, OP!

Scarlett and Darcey are my favourites, although (please don't hate me, but it might get noticed by others)...Scarlett Eva sounds like Scarlett fever! Sorry. I love Scarlett though, it's not the name itself, just the combination!

ladybirdsaredotty · 24/01/2018 20:33

Sorry, Darcy not Darcey.

I also love Willow and Eva Smile

Atticusss · 25/01/2018 09:43

All very overused and boring to me. I find Em/Emma/Emily names quite dull but what about Emmeline at least?

Meemzinha · 26/01/2018 19:40

@jellycrumble my name is Mimi, last name also rhymes with Jones! I get asked my name all the time as I work in an office on the phone all day and I'm constantly being complimented on it.. Or people just love having a chat about it and where it's from. It's a great name and talking point..

I will add.. It's not my birth name but has always been my nickname!

Meemzinha · 26/01/2018 19:44

My full name is Aimée but it's always spelt wrong and I like the spelling more than the name itself.. Hate Amy... So I only go by Mimi.. Unless people know me well!

Zaya71 · 26/01/2018 23:15

I like Mimi, but not as a stand alone name. I know two, one is a Jemima and one is an Esme, if either of those work for you.

Demiguisee · 26/01/2018 23:25

Please not Scarlett Eva. Way too close to Scarlet fever.

I like Darcy Willow.
