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

Honor. Not er but sounds the same.

Esther is a lovely name.

Of your names, I like Clover (of Katy fame, of course) and I quite like Rumer (thinking of Rumer Godden) but there may be silly jokes around rumours.

Vesper is a church service or (here in Germany) an afternoon/evening snack. Or, spelled slightly differently, a wasp or a moped.

I only like Cleo. And maybe fern.

What about Amber? Lyra? They've got the er sound you seem to be leaning towards? X

Lavender
Aster
Emer
Rumer

Harper!

Jennifer

Vesper is Catholic prayers in the evening.. and people will think Vespa the scooter. You have some really pretty alternatives, I wouldn’t burden a child with Vesper.
Silver is pretty and a nice idea.

Hebe and Thyra (pronounced Teer-a)

I like Clover and Piper very much.

Hebe is a great name.

Please could everyone stop saying that Piper is a good idea? It's really not. All I can think of is bagpipes.

Nobody would be banging on about Harper now, if it weren't for the Beckhams.

Vesper is either a church service or a Bond Girl.

Winter is a season, and a lot of people (myself included) hate it. It might seem cute when you're pregnant, but it is a really bad idea once the hormones have abated (take this from someone who cried buckets while heavily pg with DC3 because DH vetoed Beau Boodle as a possible name combination).

I really like Silver. I like Aster too but think it may be shortened to Ass.

The only one I would consider is Cleo, although if you have two girls they could be Lumi and Rumi.

Sorry i dont like any of them
The only girls -er name I like is Esther.

I really dislike them all. They all sound so unfeminine. Vesper sounds like wasp in German and Piper is an old man blowing into a bagpipe!

Piper

Jennifer
Heather
Amber
Lavender
Asher
Ardeer
Emer
Parker
Tiger
Greer
Harper
Pepper
Skyler

Lumi(e) is a brand of alarm clock, plus a bit wet sounding. Rumi is a traditionally male name.

LOVE Pepper but the pig is a problem!

Also like Tiger in theory but I wouldn’t want to be called that myself so it wouldn’t be fair.

Honor is lovely.

Thanks for all the feedback! So helpful.

Whoever suggested Cartier, it's not actually pronounced like the English "er" at the end...

How I wish nobody had suggested Skyler. It is horrendous (female equivalent to Tyler, IMO).

Piper - nn Pipes? Definitely not a classic
Clover - no.
Rumer - nice
Winter (due late Jan) - no
Aster - no
Vesper - Evensong?

Greta - no
Fern - like it
Lumi - loomy, loony
Rumi - roomy, ruminant
Cleo - nice

Minerva?

Out of all the -er names I do love Jennifer. Versatile nn too, Je, Jenny, Jenna.

Jen, not Je

I really love the name Piper but the French meaning put me off and I couldn't recover from
It

Sorry op I don't like any

Oh I do like fern actually
