GrumpyMooCow · 29/04/2018 20:54

My baby girl was born on Friday and we came home from hospital yesterday. However, she has no name yet! DP and I have managed to get down to a few names we agree on and I'd love some thoughts from others, please:

Emily
Lily
Sophie
Alice
Isabelle
Chloe
Elsie
Hazel
Clover

Thank you!

Emily Clover Surname

Hazel

Alice is my favourite from your list, but I'm biased. Clover sounds very pretty too!

RoundaboutSnail · 29/04/2018 22:20

Sophie, Emily or Elsie.

Theyhaveallbeenused2 · 29/04/2018 22:21

From your list Elsie.
I would add Nancy

twinkledag · 29/04/2018 22:21

I vote for Hazel Smile

Oysterbabe · 29/04/2018 22:36

I think Clover sounds like a name for an animal, maybe a rabbit or a cow. I love Hazel though.

MollyHuaCha · 29/04/2018 23:03

Congratulations!

My thoughts...

Emily -lovely classic name
Lily - lovely
Sophie - love it
Alice - love it
Isabelle - lovely
Chloe - less keen
Elsie - even less keen
Hazel - no
Clover - definitely not

Enjoy choosing. Smile

In order, I like:
Clover
Elsie
Isabel (rather than Isabelle)
Chloe
Alice
Sophie
Emily
Lily
Hazel

Clover reminds me of the sister in What Katy Did, and I think it's a gorgeous and unusual name. Go for it!

oldbirdy · 30/04/2018 09:27

Clover is a cow's name. It also reminds me of cloven hooves which again brings me back to farm animals. It also has "lover" in it which would be fertile teasing territory.

Elsie is a bit old lady cutesy. Prime minister Elsie or Dr Elsie, neurosurgeon don't work too well.

The other names are all inoffensive and nice.

Tumbleted · 30/04/2018 10:24

Definitely Hazel or Clover

And yes...Clover is a brand of butter, but so is Flora but that’s making a huge comeback!

Let us know what you decide, OP!

captainbizz · 30/04/2018 11:32

Chloë or Sophie. Smile

whattookyousolong · 30/04/2018 11:34

I think Clover is lovely!

I had a baby girl last Sunday and have just chosen a name which I'm not sure about- and now everyone is calling her by that name Confused

So choose wisely Blush

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 30/04/2018 11:38

Sophie from your list or Sophia.

Felicity
Thea
Delphine
Tess
Nell
Seraphina

Winchester13 · 30/04/2018 11:41

Lily or Isabelle

flissfloss65 · 30/04/2018 11:46

Favourites - Isabelle, Alice and Chloe.

I like Clover as a middle name but not if you choose Chloe!

Cosmoa · 30/04/2018 12:01

Alice is my favourite on your list Smile

gwen25 · 30/04/2018 17:31

Alice or Isabelle. Congratulations!

Tumbleted · 30/04/2018 20:19

I’m intrigued WhatTookYouSoLong

WalkinglikeaFlamingo · 01/05/2018 00:30

Sophie and Alice both get my vote

FizzyGreenWater · 01/05/2018 09:58

Sophie would be my favourite from that list. Like Isabel/Isobel, but only those spellings.

Bibijayne · 01/05/2018 10:02

Elsie or Hazel :)
