So I found out today at 20 week scan it’s a GIRL! First baby but I have 4 brothers and DH has 2 (boys seem to run in family), skull and nub theory suggested boy and the wedding ring thing swung in circles. So I just assumed it was a boy stupidly. Anyway I’m over the moon of course but I have no idea whatsoever of names. I found girl names really hard. We had the boy name picked out so now I’m stuck.

I really love the name Everly Blush but realise it’s not MN approved so really want to hear your favourite names.

TIA

Sana. I’ve been told it means sunshine. Only one daughter so I never got to use it.

Lily - I know it’s a popular name but I love it and it would go with my other children’s names which are also old fashioned names.

Zara I think

It’s funny. I chose my daughter’s name when I was 6. My husband had to consult a dozen people and check the meaning of my spelling before he agreed I was right.

MamaToAli · 21/08/2019 13:33

Annabelle or Ruby

Loopydizzylove · 21/08/2019 14:39

Delilah reign..... Absolutely in love with it..... But dp is insisting on no more little ones so its a pipe dream name at the minute Grin

dw23 · 22/08/2019 11:22

Romilly or Dorothea

dw23 · 22/08/2019 11:23

Everly is really pretty though, ignore naysayers.

I'll never have a girl now (too old and no inclination) but my plan for a girl was Elen (Welsh spelling). I had a boy and he got the name I planned when I was 17 (I had him when I was 27.)
