Can’t agree on a girls name

Hi so me and my boyfriend are really struggling to choose a name for our baby girl who is due in September we already have a little girl called Eva so the name needs to go well with that too.

I like Charlotte with the nn Lottie which he does like but he really has his heart set on the name Poppy which we both did agree at one point but now I am not sure at all.

Open to opinions and suggestions, the surname will be Sturgeon.

Thank youSmile

Really not keen on Poppy. So cutesie and faddy.

Eva is lovely.

Not keen on Charlotte at all, sorry!!!

Poppy isn't my type of name but is a lot better than Charlotte.

Suggestions:
Annabelle/Annie
Aurora
Bella/Belle
Carrie
Darci
Freya
Georgia/Georgie
Harriet/Hattie
Isla
Lana
Maisie
Olivia/Libby
Ruby
Theodora/Thea
Victoria
Willow

Three syllables ending in -ee would flow nicely with your surname.

I love Bryony.

I love Charlotte - it's timeless.

Poppy is one of those names that is everywhere right now!

I love Lottie, but don't like charlotte.
Poppy is a nice name and goes well with Eva.

CupOhTea · 18/05/2019 14:11

Annabel / Annabelle?

MaLittleBubbas · 18/05/2019 14:25

Eva is such a lovely name OP!
Charlotte is nice but v popular if that bothers you. Poppy is brill but as PP said a bit too kiddy for an adult. how about:
Alice
Allie
Bella
Lara
Lily
Ruby
Isabel

I love Poppy, esp with Eva

Sexnotgender · 18/05/2019 16:24

What about Penelope with Penny as a nickname?

Proseccofuelled · 18/05/2019 16:40

Charlotte is a beautiful name
I like Poppy too but if you prefer a classic with a nickname what about Poppy for Penelope?

New841 · 19/05/2019 13:00

What about Elizabeth nn. Libby?

SundayMorningSun · 19/05/2019 13:18

The problem with Poppy Sturgeon is they are both 'things', so it sounds like Poppy Sturgeon is a type of fish (along the lines of rainbow trout)...

Maybe as a middle name with a less noun-y first name?

averylongtimeago · 19/05/2019 13:21

How about Zilpha?

BlueMerchant · 19/05/2019 13:22

Alice? Heidi?
Poppy is ok for a little girl but I don't think it ages well.
Charlotte is ok just a bit meh.
