I am feeling sooo sick & sorry for myself

Names I quite like but for one reason or another don’t love:

Beatrice
Sophia
Alice
Susannah
Georgia
Thalia (confused by pronunciation which prob ruins this one)

Beatrice- ok
Sophia- ok, over used
Alice - ok
Susannah - horrible, old
Georgia- pretty
Thalia - pretty

Other suggestions:-

@Snowyalpsandpeaks thank you a lot of those are lovely

I have boys, but our girl names were:-

Isabella Dulcie
Seren Dulcie
Esme Savannah Rae
Willow Luna

We had girls name straight away, boys were harder, and we were choosing ds2’s name as I was pushing him out lol

Susannah - horrible, old

Ouch! I know a Susannah in her 30s. She's lovely and it suits her (although we usually call her Susie).

Oh thank goodness, thought you were about to suggest 'Sick' for a name.

I thought sick was your name suggestion.... 🙈

I forget that nothing is too weird for mumsnet

@SnowyAlpsandPeaks Dulcie is particularly beautiful

Tabitha
Matilda
Verity
Ursula
Barbara
Olivia
Clara
Virginia

My Susannah is 4 and certainly not old or horrible thank you very much!
OP our girls list for both dds was
Beatrice
Alice
Cassia
Marianne
Eliza
Dinah
Hope they're not you old and horrible 😂

Sorry too not you!!!

Susannah is my favourite. Beautiful, classic Biblical name with lots of nickname potential (Susie, Annie, Anna, Sunny, Zannah etc.)

Susannah is lovely.
More suggestions:
Nina
Jemima
Miranda
Anna
Imogen
Eloise
Rachael
Veronica
Audrey
Louisa
Lucia
Simone

Beatrice - I have never liked this but prob due to my own personal taste
Sophia - overused
Alice - fine
Susannah - I like Susie
Georgia - ok but seems a bit dated, very popular in the 90s / early 2000s
Thalia - lovey, I knew a Tahlia many years ago.

The only one I like is Thalia. Pronounced 'tar-lee-ar'.

Very pleased Sick wasn't your name choice...

We liked Ava.

All beautiful names on your list, except for Thalia which doesn't appeal to me. In Australia where I live Talia was a very popular name in the 80s and 90s so it doesn't feel as up to date as the others. Also I do think Thalia will have pronunciation issues. The standout for me is the beautiful Susannah - and underused classic!

Beatrice - nice
Sophia - nice
Alice - nice
Susannah - love this
Georgia - ok
Thalia - ok, but there will be a lifetime of mis-spellings and mia-pronunciations.

I also like:

Charlotte
Greta
Alexandra
Penelope
Meredith
Serena
Brogan
Caroline
Fenella
Saskia
Ines
Florence

All boys here, but names I had were

Elise
Rowan
Dulcie
Grace
Marci

Martha
Madeleine
Genevieve

Love Suzannah from your list

Simone Dulcie & Madeleine are all lovely suggestions I’ll have too see what my husband says (he tends to hate EVERYTHING)

Rowan I think I prefer for a boy? We have a boys name but I might see if I can add this

I like Susanna without an h.

What about Miranda?

Beatrice - ok
Sophia - too popular
Alice - dull
Susannah - old fashioned abc reminds me of that dreadful duo who used to dress women up
Georgia - ok
Thalia - ok, but rhymes with failure

I thought sick was going to be the initials hope you’re ok OP.

Name suggestions (some PPs may have said already) based on your list -
Ottilie
Alba
Callie
Thea

They're all a bit meh for me personally, but I don't hate any of them either. I don't like Tahlia but I knew a Dalia (DAH-LEE-UH) at school and think it's a lovely name.

Hi OP hope your sickness subsides soon..

All of your names are lovely, traditional names which I love. Although Thalia is my least favourite.

Other names I really like for girls:

Poppy
Sophie
Lydia
Grace
Isobel
Clara
Bella
Tilly
Lexa
Charlotte
Hazel
