I’m due very soon with our first DD (DC2) and we have struggled with names throughout the pregnancy (which is annoying, as naming DS was easy!). As per the thread title our top four are as follows, with a likely middle name of Elizabeth:
Juno - my personal favourite, DH not quite so keen. The (very) limited pool of people I’ve tried it out on have been a bit ‘meh’ about it and said they just think of the film. But is that really going to be a ‘thing’ as she’s growing up?!
Matilda - both like. I am not keen on Mattie or Tilly though, which puts me off a bit as I know you can’t really control nicknames - especially as they get older.
Phoebe - like but not sure I love. Not sure it goes well with our surname, which is also two syllables and has an ‘eee’ sound so the names would assonate (think ‘Phoebe Stevens’ - not actual name).
Anna - classic and lovely sounding but still not sure. Sounds a bit elegant and formal for a baby. Would Annie work as a nickname do you think?
We’ve deliberately kept from discussing names with friends and family so I’m really keen for honest feedback on our list.
Other name suggestions very welcome (although I think we may know every girl’s name in the world now 😆). Thanks!
