So we have a little while left before we need a name, but we could do with a little help/ some suggestions

For at least a month we were both set on Luna but now we're both uncertain and more keep cropping up,

The names we have so far are;
Luna
Georgia
Iris
Aurora
Lorelei
Isla

Iris and Isla are nice! But they are all pretty names! Sorry! Not much help really!

See how each would look written out with your surname, what the initials would read with mn and sn all together. Sometimes iliminates some names!!

Luna is my favourite. Iris is also very nice.

My favourite of these is Iris.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 04/03/2018 19:56

Isla is lovely.

WitchyMama3 · 04/03/2018 20:00

We've done the name tests, writing them down, how they look with the surname and even the doorstep one ... we didn't eliminate any and instead added Aurora and Isla Grin

And now looking at the suggestions I think I might be adding more to the list haha, why is it so difficult to choose a name!

I like Luna and Georgia best.

I would choose Georgia, simply because as much as I like Luna, I think it's a very trendy name and it'll be obvious that your child was born in the 2010s.

DreamingOfAHotBeach · 04/03/2018 21:21

I like Luna and Iris.

Luna is popular at the minute and I think will date quickly. Iris is popular on here.

Bluebubbles136 · 04/03/2018 21:26

I like Georgia - timeless

turnipfarmers · 04/03/2018 21:38

Lorelei
Isla

bridgetreilly · 04/03/2018 22:03

In order, I like:
Iris
Aurora
Isla
Lorelei
Luna
Georgia

I would go for Iris, personally, but if you want something more unusual, Aurora.

Sophronia · 04/03/2018 23:53

Iris

WhereIsBlueRabbit · 05/03/2018 04:46

My favourites are Iris, Aurora and Lorelei, in that order.

ElizaDontlittle · 05/03/2018 06:33

Isla, Georgia and Aurora are my favourites - they are all lovely and doesn't sound like you need people adding any!! I only am less keen on Luna because of Harry Potter! (and because I know a dog called Luna!!) It's also a pretty name just personally one that's been spoilt by association. Congratulations on your baby girl Flowers

user1485182339 · 05/03/2018 08:09

In order of preference
Iris
Aurora
Georgia

WitchyMama3 · 06/03/2018 21:22

I'm not fussed on the connection with Harry Potter, that's where I first read the name and fell in love with it, plus I adore that character Grin

We've wrote a list of our favorites and we're just going to wait for little one to arrive and decide then

Thank you for your help though Smile

Luna - Love this name. For me it's popularity is putting me off. It's becoming a trendy name, which means it'll suddenly lose its popularity and become dated also.
Georgia - Nice, classic, elegant, strong. I don't think you could judge a person by the name Georgia.
Iris - Bit plain and boring, better as a middle name.
Aurora - Blah.
Lorelei - Prefer Laurel.
Isla - Nice, cute name, but no nickname potential....that would bug me.

Littlemum2be86 · 07/03/2018 19:23

I really love Iris! Gorgeous name
