If you're pregnant now...

[AliCanTea]

...what is your girl's shortlist? Wondering if we can get a sense for next year's patterns :)

Nancy
Eleanor
Annabel
Meredith
Romilly
Elspeth
Delaney
Mathilda

Not a ‘serious’ list as such. Just been adding to it as I hear a name I like. Will go through and sort out properly closer to the time (due in May)

Elspeth or Enid

Harriet
Holly
Matilda

Think we are decided on Harriet though, I was due yesterday!!

Lyla for a girl we've already decided.

Annabelle and Matilda on mine too! Also Genevieve and Mabel Rose.

Have a weird like for Augusta which may be too unusual and a weird like for Isabella which is too popular!

Only name I like is Iris but as our surname is Lewis I can’t have it 😫

L0ki I have a similar problem!

Old lady or stripper then!

Orla
Aoife
Catherine

Baby is a boy though according to scans, so I’m keeping these in my back pocket in case of a surprise girl!

• Winter
• Penelope
• Arabella
• Maisie
• Cleo
• Nancy

I love Meredith but DP won't hear of it 😫

Cleo
Phoebe
Felicity
Ramona

Cecily or Penelope

I also loved all these but we decided against them/can’t use them: Anastasia, Theodora, Viola, Arabelle, Aria, Willow, Beatrix, Cecilia, Primrose, Hermione, Edith, Frances, Calliope, Winter, Esmée, Matilda, Emilia, Amelia, Evangeline, Evelyn, Genevieve, Persephone, Ophelia, Eloise, Elodie, Sophia, Isobel, Charlotte, Phoebe, Francesca, Margot, Felicity, Imogen, Isobel, Clementine, Rosamund Hazel, Emmeline, Lucia, Erin, Josephine, Seren, Sienna, Ivy, Iris & Florence... A lot lol.

Oh! Cleo, Harriet, Odette/Odetta, Henrietta/Henrietta too 😍

Niamh
Iris
Edith
Nina

Not very short

Ada
Celeste
Charlotte
Cora
Eden
Edie
Edith
Fleur
Florence
Freya
Iris
Isla
Ivy
Niamh
Neve
Penelope
Saskia
Savannah
Stella

The only name that’s been on my mind is Priyanka, but I doubt that’s on many people’s lists!

Our favourite is Jemimah or Jemima but haven’t decided on best spelling yet! Our daughter is 21 months old and her middle name is Mabel - we wish we hadn’t used it as we’d love to use it as baby no 2 name!

Jemimah / Jemima
Minnie
Tabitha
Olive
Joy
Kitty
Elsie
Betty
Betsy
Dotty
Beatrice (Bea)

These are out as DH doesn’t like them (but I do!)

Martha
Iris
Ivy

Molly
Poppy
Polly

All quite boring compared to other people’s!

Isla
Isabella
Amelie
Seren
Grace

Got so drawn in reading all the names I forgot the title. I'm not currently pregnant, have been this year though but had a boy. These were my girls names!

Edward, Matthew, Francis

Astrid, Elspeth, Harriet, Olenna, Cleo, Lois, Francesca

A few Cleos and Penelopes! Also Nancy and Matilda.

Nancy
Sophia
Marnie
Kendal
Billie

I've settled on Sadie, which has always been my number one choice, but I also considered Evelyn, Nell, Edie, Anastasia and Agatha.

Effy
Penny
Pippa
