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

DD was my first choice (Esther) second on the list is Eden.
I could probably name 10 girls... 1 boy I would struggle with.

Jemima

BiBabbles · 31/07/2019 12:49

I think Everly is nice and if you really love it, you should go for it Smile

I always had lists with mine, always struggled to decide until after they were born. I imagine my current list for another daughter would have names like Eveline, Charissa, Celia, Corinna, Silvia, Valora.

MsSquiz · 31/07/2019 12:52

I love Everly but DH isn't keen.

We are having a girl in December and our top 2 names are Charlotte and Florence
