Appreciate this style isn’t to everyone’s taste & ‘you won’t know what she’ll be like’ has been thrown around but then you don’t know if she’ll be sickly sweet when you call a little girl daisy? You may recognise me from the Connie or Frankie thread! Grin I still feel like I’m looking for that perfect cool name for our second little girl! Please give me all your amazing suggestions, you’ve all been so helpful so far!

@AlbertWinestein I like that. Was it short for Finley or just Finn? Very cool!

I think Astrid might be a flower but it more means star?

See rose might seem like it doesn’t belong but I actually think it sounds quite strong? Even though it is a flower... funny the feelings you get!

I love Ada on your list. Very no nonsense but gentle at the same time. Also a big fan of Frankie, as I know a delightful little Frankie myself.

M0reGinPlease · 21/02/2019 18:20

@Pippathenippa I bloody love it but it just didn't sound right with our surname.

Seriously. Can anyone who thinks it is explain to me why it’s OK to give girls boy’s names and not the other way round?

“Bert

Who says that?”

Show me the threads saying “I’m looking for a delicate gentle name for ds- I’m thinking Daisy? Any other ideas?”
