What’s my name?

Baby girl. Over 9lb, dark hair and seems quite chilled (and hungry).

Sister’s name is Philippa

Eleanor is an option for a middle name, but not set.

Husband likes Heather, Millie.

I don’t have a clue!! Can anyone help name our daughter?

Thank you all. I just feel so fussy!

@Verily1 I agree Heather is a lovely name but our surname is very matchy e.g Heather Hacker etc
So think it would sound a bit odd.

I like that Phillipa is traditional but also has nicknames like Pippa or Pip. So hoping for something similar

I have to say I really dislike both Heather and Millie - very humdrum.

Thank you for all your help.

Think we are going with Freya. It suits her 🙂

Congratulations!

Any pictures?

Collision · 06/10/2019 10:03

Ooooh congratulations!

Was I the one who suggested Freya?

FeckOffGraham · 06/10/2019 11:23

Lovely op! Philippa and Freya are a lovely pair. Congratulations Flowers.

Freya is wildly different in popularity to Philippa... Just something to bare in mind if you didn't check stats. There are a dozen Freya's in my dd's school. I'd consider Faye, if you like that sound.

Freya goes great! Congrats

MissHenty · 07/10/2019 07:40

@user1573354 Freya peaked in popularity 10 years ago according to official ONS data. It’s not as popular now. I don’t know any (my children both under 4yo)

MissHenty · 07/10/2019 07:40
