If you had a daughter tomorrow, what would you name her?

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

@KindnessCrusader Trouble is that such beautiful names are seen to be "posh"! I had boys so didn't use any of them. I wonder if I can influence the names of grandchildren without being seen to be a bad MIL!

I love the name Everly! If I had another daughter tomorrow though, I'd name her Autumn.

Everly is lovely! Take no notice of what people you'll never meet think and go with what you love.
I regret not using Rose as I've always liked it. I also like Amelie and Thea.

I've used my favourites, Miranda and Cordelia .... so Artemis or Jocasta.

MrsCharlesBrandon · 31/07/2019 19:06

I love Everly!

My hypothetical DD would be Lara Faith.
It was our girl's name for DS, DH wanted Addison.

EssentialHummus · 31/07/2019 19:10

Anna, Emma, Margot or Raya. But you probably don’t have our constraints!

UrsulaPandress · 31/07/2019 19:12

Calypso

I too like Everly.

DramaAlpaca · 31/07/2019 19:14

My imaginary DD would be Emma. Her middle name would be the Irish version of my middle name.

I didn't get to use it as I had boys, and I'm way too old & exhausted to have another.
