cutting it tight....help with girls names!!

[fmdeehan]

So we spent the weekend debating girls names....with less than 3 weeks to go we are cutting it tight with time!! (baby is also engaged and could come at any time!) We are finding it so hard to narrow down the below list?

Lily

Emma

Isla

Ellie

Lila

I love Isla and Lila.

How exciting for you!

Out of all those I suspect Emma will be the least likely to have more 5 of them in her class so I would go for that.

Also, you know you could go two weeks over and still have 6 weeks after that before you have to register the baby? So you have a potential 11 weeks before you have to decide. Worst case scenario if she’s born today you still have 6 weeks to decide.

1. Lily -

1. Emma

1. Isla

In order.

1 Ellie
2 Emma
3 Isla
4 Lila
5Lily

Not heard of a baby Emma or Ellie for a long time. The others Lily especially are thousand a penny

Emma but I am biased as 4.5yo DD is an Emma.

Shes the only one in her school (apart from the headteacher). There are two Lily's and three Isla's in her year (55 kids).

Emma or Lila

Emma or Ellie.

We have an Elizabeth, her brother calls her Lily, we call her Elspeth/ Ells or Libby (along with Elizabeth!) Just mentioning as two of your names could be shortened versions. Out of your lovely list I'd choose Emma :)

Emma, lovely classic name and not too many of them about

Emma

Lily - Love it. Beautiful and classic
Emma - Also Beautiful and classic
Isla - trendy, sounds lovely
Ellie - I like it, but I'd go for Eleanor on the BC
Lila - Makes me thinkof futurama.

TBH, theyare all nice. Maybe try and cut one out every day? Start with Lila

Lila.

Isla and Lily are unbelievably popular at DS school and Emma and Ellie don't seem as nice.

Emma

Definitely

I like Emma and Lila.

Emma for sure

Isla and Lily - lovely but so popular at the moment; a little unoriginal

Lila - I love this, but the only one I’ve ever met, who I went to school with, was constantly having to correct people’s pronunciation. She pronounced it Leela but teachers always called her Lie-la

Emma - lovely. I also like Emily and Emmeline.

Ellie - fine as a nickname, a little boring and childish by itself. What about Eleanor, Elizabeth, Elodie, Eloise, Elowen?

Emma or Emily

You're not cutting it tight at all! We only finally decided on DS's name as we were on our way to register his birth, and he was at least six weeks old. You've got plenty of time.

Emma is lovely.

My second pick would be Ellie

Emma is my favourite, I also like Ellie but do think it's a bit childish for an adult. What about Ella?

I’d go with Isla, but it depends if popularity matters to you!

Emma!

Lily
Isla

Emma or Isla. Both beautiful.

Emma and Isla are my favourites. Emma will be more uncommon of the two, Isla is soo popular now
