Her last name is going to be Kihn, which is a really short last name. Our options for right now are

Melissa
Meredith
Maya
Matilda
Melanie
Mia

Which one would you choose? Any favorite (or least favorite) names in the list? ;D

Matilda however I would ask MNHQ to remove your thread as putting such an unusual family name on here is very outing Smile

AtticaRose · 01/11/2018 07:24

Matilda
Second place Meredith

People may say Matilda is too popular, but (a) it's only about 25th and (b) I don't think popularity matters much if you have an unusual last name.

Maya or Mia

Sungura · 01/11/2018 07:26

Meredith.

MeteorMedow · 01/11/2018 07:27

Matilda

LeeMiller · 01/11/2018 07:30

Meredith or Matilda. I think a longer name balances out the short surname.

Polkasq · 01/11/2018 07:39

I like Melissa best, then Melanie.

BertramKibbler · 01/11/2018 07:42

Meredith

Emelene · 01/11/2018 07:44

Melissa

EnglishRose1320 · 01/11/2018 07:53

Matilda or Meredith

17caterpillars1mouse · 01/11/2018 07:53

I love Meredith. It's cute and quirky on a child but classy and sophisticated on an adult. I do love it, unfortunately it doesn't sound brilliant with my surname :(

I really like Melanie and Melissa too though I'm sure many will find them dates / a bit 80s.

I don't like Maya

Mia is cute, I just prefer some of the other names

Matilda is nice but every other girl is called Matilda in my area so it's lost it's shine for me

greendale17 · 01/11/2018 07:54

Mia

ratherbeshowjumping · 01/11/2018 08:02

Meredith is my fave. Merry is a gorgeous nickname for a little one.

stopitandtidyupp · 01/11/2018 08:06

Is the the Maya a Mya or a May a?

My sd is Maya said Mya. I love it.

Working in education for 15 years. I have came across a few Matildas. Probably one each of the others but not a Melissa. I loved that name as a child in the 80s.

stopitandtidyupp · 01/11/2018 08:07

Sorry loads of Mias too. I think it is too short to go with your surname.

wizzler · 01/11/2018 09:07

Madeleine is an m name which might work?

Creaci · 01/11/2018 09:58

Melanie nickname Lanie

daisypond · 01/11/2018 10:31

Melissa best. Meredith worst.

Orange12 · 01/11/2018 12:17

Whoa! I've noticed how most of your faves are Melissa, Matilda, and Meredith! All three are gorgeous names. We'll definitely be choosing from one of these three! Thank you so much guys
