Baby girl

[1stTimeMumofOne]

Being induced tomorrow so need to start making decisions haha! I have some names listed but keeping them a surprise so i cant get any opinions from friends or family!!
Middle name will be kathryn and surname johnson.

I loved elsie for months but completely went off this name

In no order at all my shortlist

Ella - love this name but not sure if it will go well in adulthood?

Myla, mila, mylah - love this name too but dont have a clue what the best way to spell it is

Evie - my middle name is eve so would be quite fitting but again is it a really childish name?

This is my shortlist, any other suggestions would be fab but im not keen on anything too unusual or too common- oh this is a nightmare!

Ella Kathryn Johnson is lovely.
I don't think it's a children's name at all, in fact my gran has a friend called Ella.

Hha thank you! I do love the name but i did the "lawyer" test and imagined a lawyer or solicitor walk into court and i thought would i want "ella" to represent me 😂 was just unsure how strong of a name it is

I don't think any of those names are childish, but I do think they are all quite "in" at the moment and she'd probably go to school with a number of girls with the same name. Something to consider if the thought of that bothers you.

Re Mila/Myla/mylah - I would pronounce Mila like Mila Kunis, Myla like "my-lah", I haven't seen a name spelt 'Mylah' before but would pronounce it how it's spelled. Hope that helps.

All lovely names that go nicely with your middle choice.
Myla and Mila are two completely different names in their own right with different pronunciations though.
Personally I think Ella or Evie go better with Kathryn.

Ella Kathryn Johnson
Evie Kathryn Johnson
Mila Kathryn Johnson (Mee-la)
Myla Kathryn Johnsons (My-la)

This is all too hard 😂 i suppose it all comes down to what she looks like but i genuinely cannot choose haha!

Evelyn (NN Eve/Evie/Eva) Kathryn Johnson?

Mylah Kathryn is quite pretty and a name she can grow into. Ella is one of my favorite names, but I don't think it sounds as rhythmical and lovely with Kathryn.Evie is babyish, not suitable for a growing child. It is hard to decide, I know. It's one of the most important gifts you give your child.

Im not too bothered how is sounds with her middle name as the middle name is only really used on forms and stuff. I have to use kathryn as it is my mums name.

I do agree with ella as i really like it, just dont know any strong women with that name which is the only thing putting me off

Libby
Edie
Stella
Lyra
Ivy

Just wanted to add, I love Evie (also expecting a girl!) But I lost count of how many times I heard it during our holiday this year (England)

Alice
Elizabeth/Eliza

Good luck with your induction!

Ella Kathryn is very classy, love it !

I like Mila the best!
Ella and Evie are incredibly popular there will be loads about

Evie Kathryn Johnson.
other ideas.
Lily Kathryn
Lucy Kathryn
Emily Kathryn
Lydia Kathryn

As above, if I met a Mila I would probably guess Mee-ya or Mee-la. So Myla wins the spelling contest for me. I think Ella is elegant and would be fine for a grown woman, Evie I do find quite childlike as a full name though. Evelina?

Ella is lovely and definitely passes the lawyer test. It's good enough for Amal Clooney! Much prefer to Evie which I think does sound a little childish and is everywhere!

I think it is narrowed to
Myla
And
Ella

And they were my top two any way so i am still struggling haha!

Thank you x

What about Emily Kathryn Johnson?

Isn't Myla a cosmetic surgery company?

I'm not keen, it's a bit of a stripper name IMO. And Ella is just a bit blah.

Ella > Myla

Ella! So pretty, and I’d have no problem contacting “my lawyer, Ella” or “my accountant, Ella”. Elle is also very beautiful and maybe sounds a little more sophisticated- although possibly I’m swayed by thinking of Elle McPherson 😊

Don't like Myla (or any of other spellings).

Ella is fine for an adult or child.
Evie could be short for Evelyn if you want to give her the option of a 'fuller' name. 2 disadvantages are that there are very different ways to pronounce it (would that bother you / her ?) and there are LOTS of little ones who have been named Eve or Evie in the last couple of years and that come become a pain when you are always one of several in a group.

Ella is lovely. How about Elle ? That seems for adult to me. But both are lovely !

Evie is nice but it's so SO popular, if that matters to you...

Myla/Mila.... They're pronounced differently. My-la or Mila is prounced Mee-la like Mila Kunis the actress . I prefer Mila of the two!

Ella ❤️

I’d pronounce Mila & Myla/h completely differently as I know 2 kids with these names and it’s not the same name 😅.

How about Elle on BC and Ella to everyone else then when she becomes an adult it Ella isn’t fitting Elle is very classly. Even Elenor tbh.

I would pronounce Mila (Mill-ah), which I much prefer compared to the Mee-la or My-lah pronunciation

Ella is lovely and perfectly acceptable as an adult name. Evie is also a name in it's own right, not just a nickname, so by the time your baby is older will be well established given it's huge popularity.
