After many many (many) hours we have come up with a shortlist for our third child and first daughter. We were feeling pretty proud of ourselves until we realised we had no idea how to whittle it down from eight to one. Would like to have a front-runner before the birth in March. Would love to know your preferences/ reasons for preferences/ thoughts/ observations etc! Thank you so much. Shortlist (in no particular order) is:

  • Ines
  • Evangeline
  • Lyra
  • Adeline
  • Gabriella
  • Ophelia
  • Josephine
  • Audra

and Josephine.
But I would pick Ines.

I only like Gabriella and Josephine. Lyra is a bit of a fad and agree with pp, a lot of similar names around.

You guys are awesome thank you for the feedback, this naming girls business is hard! @LarkDescending Jocelyn is very cute but maybe a bit too vintage for me/with son's names. We are looking for something not super modern but still quite fresh sounding, not too frilly (which is what makes me unsure of Gabriella and Ophelia, as they sometimes strike me as being quite strong and at other times a bit too floral if you know what I mean).

like ines and gabriella but not nn gaby. josephine will become jo, which, no offence to any jos, is absolutely disgusting.

Gabriella is my favourite, followed by Lyra. Beautiful names!
