I like Lily the best from your list.

userabcname · 28/06/2018 17:57

Autumn is pretty. Lily, Grace, Maisie and Maddy are all quite popular (in my area at least).

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 28/06/2018 18:03

I wouldn't use Autumn with her being a Summer baby.
Lily-Grace would be nice.
Other ideas.
Daisy. Lucy. Martha. Summer. Coral. Rose.
Poppy. Mabel.

Maisie - love it
Lily - like it a lot
Autumn - not if she's going to be born in the summer
Skye - it's a bit alternative, I'd prefer it as a middle name
Grace - classic and lovely
Maddy - I prefer it spelt Maddie, and I also think it's better if it's short for Madeleine - Madeleine is such a smart, professional name that could take her into any walk of life

Other names you might like?
Imogen
Olivia
Lydia
Leah
Sophia
Juliet
Rosalind (Rosie)

Love Maisie!

MikeUniformMike · 28/06/2018 19:23

Maisie - ok
Lily - so many of them
Autumn - 2nd of July is not Autumn. How about Summer?
Skye - ok
Grace - so many of them
Maddy - Madeleine is nice. Not keen on Maddy though

How about Polly?

deptfordgirl · 28/06/2018 19:27

I live Grace. Classic, simple and beautiful.

TroubledLichen · 28/06/2018 19:29

Maisie - yes, my favourite
Lily - like it but it’s very popular
Autumn - no for a summer baby
Skye - don’t like it
Grace - classic but it’s very popular, prefer as a middle name
Maddy - don’t like it as a name in it’s own right but it could be a lovely nickname for Madison or better yet Madeleine

MikeUniformMike · 28/06/2018 19:54

You had Christina on your other post. That's really pretty. I'd use it.

Jj2431 · 28/06/2018 20:16

Grace is best

MrsMrsMrsMrs · 28/06/2018 20:20

Gracie? I was a single mummy when my daughter was born. I named her Gracie.

How are you coping in this heat and being ready to pop.

merlotmummy14 · 28/06/2018 21:16

I love the name Maisie! My gran was called Maisie and I know a 21 year old also called Maisie who is equally lovely. I have her nickname (May) as my middle name and put May as my daughter's middle name too since she was taking her dad's last name - Heather May Surname. It's timeless and is never too trendy that she'll have more than one Maisie in her class. Lily and Skye are also lovely (considered Skye for our wee one but didn't suit surname). Are there any family names you quite like? Ask your parents about great-grandparents, 2nd cousins etc. Think favourite movies, tv shows, books, for inspiration as well. We had Matilda in the running as well as I loved the book growing up however DP thought it was old fashioned- another positive of being a single mum is you get to decide yourself! We had 4 or 5 names in the running when the wee one was born but as soon as we saw her we both immediately agreed she looked like a Heather so don't worry about final decisions just yet as you might know as soon as you meet her. My mum's a midwife and has had a few babies named after her or had her name as a middle name slipped in as a gratitude.

I would go for Summer... Especially in this weather Smile

Rainydaydog · 29/06/2018 07:45

Another vote for Summer its such summery weather right now it seems perfect.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 29/06/2018 10:20

❤️ Maisie.

StrawberryCat · 29/06/2018 10:31

I think Lily and Grace are fairly popular? Just because you said you want names that not many others have used. But its a nice list of names.

Other ideas:
Daisy
Sadie
Thea
Julia
Neve
Harriet
Millie
Amelia
Ruby
Freya

EsmeJay · 29/06/2018 18:49

Juliet/Juliette is a good name for a baby born in July!

How about Matilda Juliet! MJ for short!
