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

For DD I loved Marnie and Maggie. We think the names are too similar to be siblings to have to decide out of the two.

Also loved:

Esther was always going to be the name for a dd. I had two boys instead so never used it.

I have a Genevieve so can't use it twice. I'm also 50!

Elodie....it was on my list. I do like Everly though too.

CountFosco · 31/07/2019 17:44

Sigrid (DS would have been Sigrid, he was born before the popstar became famous).

If I was English I'd have gone with names like Frances, Caroline or Eleanor. Names for a grown up woman.
