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

Dunno why, just love it! Sounds like she would play guitar and beat you up in an alley if needed.

With any luck I might, as I'm 6 days overdue Wink
Here are some of my favourites:
Lyra
Athena
Cora
Violet
Willow
Ivy

I used to like Isla as well until it became so popular!
One of the names on that list is my very favourite, and what we've decided to call her. Two of the others have been picked by people we know who've recently had babies!

DH and I had a boy name picked out that he chose which we will use if we have a boy next time. If not, he likes names I consider more 'little girly'- Poppy, Sophie, Imogen, Isabelle etc. so we've picked one of those for if we have another girl.
