Pregnant with daughter no. 2, had my heart set on Phoebe, partner agreed, started referring to baby as that until . . . a quite close friend had a baby called Phoebe! We see them all the time so Phoebe is out! Already have an Ivy, I like old fashioned names like Pearl, Sylvia, Iris but partner likes 'boring' older names like Elizabeth and Catherine. Also like modern names and other nature names. I want something short, easy to spell, hard to nickname and pretty but not too cutesy. Please help, I am absolutely gutted to miss out on our favourite name so far.

Phaedra? Why would anyone name a child for a woman who conceived such lust for her stepson she took her life whilst accusing him if raping her, leading to the father killing his son in misplaced revenge?

You really should stick with phoebe @DamnitCharlie I really think you’ll regret it otherwise. I know you live near each other now but it’s very unlikely always to be the case. You’ll use the name A LOT. Pick the one you had your heart set on

If not

Olive?
Clemmie?
Ottilie?
Emmy?
Willa?

@DisgruntledGuineaPig Alice, is great name - it's mine!

I am totally torn as to whether to keep Phoebe or have a shortlist of favourites and see what I think when the baby comes. I'm loving lots of the suggestions and Leila (pronounced Leela if that's the right spelling, uh oh I said easy to spell 🤦)

Could Eliza be a compromise for you and DP?
