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

I'd call her "dh your fucking vasectomy failed! "

Once I'd got over the shock I'd call her Miriam. It's my unused name after dc3 was a boy.

I wanted Elodie but was vetoed by DH. I also had Theodora (Teddy) and Bronte but settled on Esmée instead.

Everly makes me think of The Everly Brothers. Sorry.
I'd call a girl Elizabeth (Eliza for short).

chilledteacher · 31/07/2019 13:16

Emilia Lin (late MIL was Chinese hence spelling of Lin). However, 3 DS's down the line and having very much had my last one, this is never going to happen.
