Girls’ names ending -er: which is your fave?

[Rumbelow]

We seem to have a real thing for er-ending names for DD due early next year. On our tentative list right now are:

Piper
Clover
Rumer
Winter (due late Jan)
Aster
Vesper

As well as a few others, like Greta, Fern, Lumi, Rumi, Cleo.

Interested to hear your preferences and any other names we might like.

Thank you

How about

Esther
Hester
Harper

I really love the names Aster and Greta! A few more names I could come up with that you might like:
Fleur (not quite -er but close, and with a natural meaning which you seem drawn to)
Amber
Cedar (same as Fleur)
Ember
Heather
River
Silver
Sorrel (not -er ending but still has the r and has a nature meaning)
Terra (same as Sorrel)

Clover, Cleo and Fern are lovely. The rest not so.

I like Aster, Vesper, Greta, Winter.

Eleanor
Demeter

Piper was my name if I was having a girl but I'm having a boy this time! Piper is such a beautiful name x

Piper

One not mentioned yet is Hesper (it’s an ‘evening’ name like Vesper but is a more classic girls name with fewer scooter associations)

Vesper means evening star and holds a very special place in my heart

The only one I really don’t like is Rumer because it reminds me of rumour. Greta will be associated with Thunberg so worth thinking about, although that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Favourite is winter

Esther is lovely.

How about Miranda?

OP we seem to have quite similar taste - DD is Greta (this was pre-Greta Thunberg so definitely not named after her but we think she’s great so don’t mind the association). We still love her name.

Also seriously considered Clio, but I was set on this spelling and in the end we decided most people would just think ‘car’. Aster/Asta also made our shortlist but we were worried it would be heard as ‘Asda’! And I love both Clover and Winter but would probably only be brave enough to use them as middle names.

Otherwise I quite like Esther and Fern is OK. Not keen on Rumer, Vesper, Piper or Rumi/Lumi.

Esther
Hester

I really like Hesper, River, Silver and Suri! Thanks

I think my current faves are Piper, Rumer and Vesper, but I might add Silver to that list! I like that she could be Silvie for short if she wanted a more “normal” or “girly” name.

I love love love Piper! Second choices would be Winter or Clover for me.

Haha yes Autumn I was thinking of viper 🤦🏻‍♀️

Harper is a beautiful name also and is ‘er’

River is a great name

Emer

Love Clover and quite like Piper and Greta. Esther is another good 'er' name as is Heather and Juniper or Juno

I really like Clover and quite like Rumer.

Heather

I like Piper and Winter from your list but I love Harper too.

Please, don't call your daughter Piper. It will become the 'naughty' girls' name of the future.

It also seems that people who like the name Piper also like the name Harper, which is another one to avoid. Along with Parker (no, no, no) and Carter (why would anyone ever suggest this?)

I would agree with PP who suggested Hester. Hesper is also nice, but she would have a lifetime of saying "Hesper with a P in the middle", as everyone would think it was Hester.

In short, just call her Hester.

I like Aster - have you thought about River?
