Hi, I’m really struggling with girls names. I would like a name that works well for a child as well as an adult that isn’t too common (although I appreciate that my names are a bit average) We have a difficult to pronounce surname so don’t want anything to difficult to spell or say. What do you think? Any other suggestions are also welcome

Iris
Felicity
Charlotte
Emily
Erin
Robyn
Fern
Georgia

Fern is my favourite from your list.

Love Iris and Erin don't think you need Irish roots

Thanks for the comments and suggestions, a lot of the suggestions have already been used by friends and family. I’m leaving towards Erin, Fern or Iris. Although DH can’t get on board with Iris so we’ll see. Just need to pick find a middle name and then I’m there!

Iris - lovely
Felicity - really like, but I always think it's a shame when people shorten it to "Flick" as Felicity is so pretty (I like the meaning, too - happiness Smile)
Charlotte - beautiful, but not keen on Lotty as nn
Emily - lovely
Erin - lovely
Robyn - ok but not to my taste (although I do like Robin for a boy)
Fern - dislike
Georgia - nice, prettier than Georgina IMO

I like Felicity and Georgia best from your longer list and Fern best from your shortlist. Erin is very very popular in my area so if you don't want something too common I'd avoid that one.

Erin is nice, have you considered Tara?

OhMyDarling · 03/06/2019 23:43

Hate Fern and Robyn!
Like Emily as it’s classic.

Pinkvoid · 05/06/2019 14:32

I only like Iris. Charlotte is ok but too plain and I’m not a fan of the others.

TatianaLarina · 05/06/2019 18:12

Iris stands out miles against the rest of them.

Felicity is very square.
