Girls name

[Yakadee]

Help me!

I'm only 20 weeks so plenty of time to choose but just found out we're having a lovely baby girl!

Now, what do I call her? My favourite name of all time is Emily, the name I've always wanted since being young but my husband just doesn't like it! I'm gutted but obviously we need to pick something we both love.

We both quite like Emma but I don't love it like I do Emily.

I have a son called Joshua so looking for something that goes and isn't too out there!

Would appreciate any suggestions xxx

Well I'm an Emma and was always very glad I wasn't an Emily Emma is a fairly classic name, if I ever have a dd she will be Alice

@Squ1ggle - nice name 😊

I do really like that name it just seems hard to move past the name I'd had my heart set on.

Emma goes really nice with our surname too. It is our current no 1 x

I like Emma a lot.
Also... Emmeline, Emilia, Amelie, Ember, Romily, Emerald, Millie, Evelyn, Adelaide

Emma is lovely, timeless and classy.
Emily reminds me of Emily Bishop (Corrie).

@Sugarpiehoneyeye - I didn't think of that Haha.

@Ricekrispie22 - thanks for your suggestions. X

Sorry @Yakadee. 😂🌸

I also love Emily.

What about Eleanor? Elise? Emmy? Emmeline?

I think you might find it hard to choose an Emily name that isn't Emily IYSWIM.

So some completely other names which I think go with Joshua are:

Tabitha, Elizabeth, Mariah, Cassie, Hannah, Miriam, Saskia

Romilly
Amy - Means "Worthy of love".
Genevieve
Ashleigh
Greta - An anagram of Great!
Alma - Means "Soul, nourishing, kind"

I love the meaning of Emma. It means "Universal, whole". Lovely if she is going to complete your family.

@AuntieStella - Hannah is on our list actually.

@Threeandabit - that's cute and yes she will be too x

Would hubby go for Amelie or Emilia, both sound quite similar to Emily.

I love Emily and also Anna, Rosa and Clara.

Prefer Emily to Emma.

Amelie is a nice alternative. Also like Hailey or Ashleigh.

Amelia, Amelie, Adelaide, Millie, Matilda?

Harriet, Heidi, Anna, Cora, Tabitha, Sophia

These are all great - thanks everyone x

Emma is lovely. I'm not so keen on Emily.

I prefer Emma to Emily as well. Otherwise Amelia? It's been popular recently, but I do like it. Or something different like Romilly or Rosalie?

I like Emily.

There was a Roma on a tv programme I watched recently which I thought was nice and refreshingly non twee but without veering into a boy's name..

I do really like Emma. My friend mentioned that Emma combined with my surname is also the name of a celebrity that's been in the new recently for violently abusing her bf! That's just what I wanted to know! X

O Emma Roberts?!

Emma is lovely.

@Crystalblue13 - yes! I love my surname (so much nicer than my maiden name!) and lots of names go with it thankfully! Why couldn't she just be a nice woman! X

Joshua and Emily sound nice together.

How about Annie, Ellie, Olivia, Isabelle?

I haven't ever heard of Emma Roberts so I wouldn't let it put you off.

Emma is very nice and a classic name.

I am on a mission to bring back 'Sally' I think it's lovely.

@LottieIsMyName - thanks, we already have a few of those names in my family and the others are the names of close friends children. It's really hard isn't it x
