What other names might I like? We don’t know what we are having but we have already decided on a name for a boy. My first choice for a girl is Elizabeth (Lizzie) but DH isn’t keen, and Mia or Ellie are the only two so far that he likes. I just think they’re a bit ‘safe’? Our ds has quite an unusual name, one syllable beginning with J. (Not revealing his name as we haven’t announced the pregnancy irl yet).
Thanks in advance.

Elizabeth IS a safer name then Mia or Ellie.

Ellen?
Nia?
Eleri?

Hmm

Where are you from that Elizabeth is a riskier name choice than Mia?!?!

@EvaGraceMummy2015 I once heard of Mia and Cara for twins as it means My Love I think, which I thought was cute. Good luck!

OP;
Millie
Mila
Ella
Elsie
Nellie
Eleanor
Mira

Elizabeth is strong classic name.

Mia and Ellie are trendy/faddy insubstantial names.(imo obviously)

So none of them 'risky' (the opposite of 'safe'?) but quite different I think.

I love Elizabeth myself.

Do you want strong classic or girly and fashionable?

Depending on taste I'd suggest either:

Helena or Alexandra.

or

Poppy or Milly
