Hi all, I'm currently 35 weeks and due on Christmas eve but me and my partner are still struggling for names for our little girl!
Her surname will be Gray and so far we have:

Sophia (partner loves this but I'm concerned she will be 1 of many as it is so popular)
Georgia (my fav - but just doesn't seem as 'pretty' as Sophia)
Holly/Hollie - not sure if this is a bit 'twee' since she is born near christmas
Madeline nn. Maddie - again not sure on this

Any help appreciated!

Georgia is my favourite, nickname of Georgie is lovely too.

Forgot to add these!

Amber - Love this but too many colours with Grey?
Sienna - Similar to above?

Sophia is a lovely name and goes well with your surname.

PinkAvocado · 22/11/2018 08:32

Georgina is lovely!

I’ve taught for a long time and have only ever taught two Sophias. It’s just outside the top ten so unlikely to be loads of them.

I also like Holly. The link will only be there when she’s born, the rest of the time it won’t be thought of.

I think Georgia Gray has a great ring to it!

I love Georgia Gray! I personally wouldn't choose Amber, Sienna or any colour name, as it sounds like a paint shade otherwise. FWIW I know quite a few Maddies/Madisons/Madelines. Quite like Sophia and Hollie/Holly.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 22/11/2018 11:25

Holly Gray is my favourite, followed by Sophia.
Not keen on the others, sorry.

RiverMeadow · 22/11/2018 11:30

Georgia is lovely!

Icklepup · 22/11/2018 11:42

Georgia Grey

starkid · 22/11/2018 12:40

Georgia Gray definitely, sounds great!
I agree Amber and Sienna would make it too many colours
Sophia very popular at the moment.
Holly and Madeline not keen on

ArnoldBee · 22/11/2018 12:45

You haven't considered Eve for her due date then?

RiverTam · 22/11/2018 12:47

Sophia or Georgia

Madeleine is a lovely name but Maddie really isn't.

Agree that 'colour' names aren't good with Gray, and Holly is indeed a bit twee for a Christmas baby.

Astronica · 22/11/2018 12:52

I like Georgia, Sophia and Holly best, and they all work well with Gray.

Amber and Sienna are definitely too many colours with Gray!

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 22/11/2018 14:49

Georgia is very 90's to me. Prefer Georgina

Sophia would be my choice from your list. I like Sienna too.

NinjaGoSaysNo · 22/11/2018 14:50

Georgia for sure!

Winterishere2018 · 22/11/2018 14:52

Sophie instead of Sophia? I have a Sophie and she’s the only one in her class

IStoleThisName · 22/11/2018 16:05

Georgia, definitely.

BirthdayKake · 22/11/2018 16:07

Holly

GoodHeavensNoImAChicken · 22/11/2018 16:09

Sophia is lovely (but then all your names are!)

Halfahunnerstillastunner · 22/11/2018 16:14

Georgia first choice then Sophia.

Calzone · 22/11/2018 16:15

Georgia Gray is great!

WishfulSprouts · 22/11/2018 16:18
