Please post your random suggestions on girl names that you like - I am in desperate need of some more suggestions..

Over the months we have created a small short list that I still keep swaying on each between loving and hating. I won't be offended on anyone's opinions of the shortlisted names lol as I know majority of people are very honest here!

  • Ada, was the first name that I thought of that I really liked
  • Jessica, the family seem to like this one better than Ada but I'm not sure I like it all that much anymore
  • Billie, a suggestion from OH as it's a tradition in the family to have a Billy (Male) but thought we could change it up slightly..

I like all 3 of your names, and I really like the changing of tradition with Billie! So I would go with Billie and I think Ada would be a nice middle name.

Mallory29 · 03/03/2020 12:51

I like Billie! Ada is OK, but I prefer Ida or Vada.

Jessica is a bit meh. Jessamy?

I love Billie . Although it’s masculine I picture a girly girl with wavy blond hair wearing a flowery frilly dress when I hear the name Billie. I also picture her to have an identical twin sister called Bobbi who is the opposite a tomboy with a bib and brace set.Grin

Jessica is boring but beautiful at the same time. It’s a name that grows with you, as well.

Can’t stand Ada, sorry.

Sarah. Violet. Bryony. Nevaeh. Nicole. Lydia.
Elsa. Poppy.Tansy. Hannah.Katie. Lucy. Iris. Olivia. Daisy. Trixie. Lois. Willow. Darcie. Lacey. Sofia. Dorothy. Tiffany. Amity. Teresa. Abbie. Annie. Rachel. Sian. Courtney. Linda
Deborah. Trinity. Lottie. Aaliyah. Natalia.

Definitely Billie! Such a great name.

timetochangeagainforever · 03/03/2020 14:33

Ada or Aida or Ayda is very popular at the moment... I've got a friend who named daughter hers and another friend who had a granddaughter this week with the name.

How about Iris or Pearl?

timetochangeagainforever · 03/03/2020 14:35

Or you could go with mine, Brontë....she's 21 now and I still love it and she does too

Showmeyourhero · 03/03/2020 14:37

Love Billie! Frankie was our name choice if DC2 was a girl Smile

@Awwlookatmybabyspider iris was one actually I did consider maybe I can add that back to the short list haha

Thanks @Pukkatea, that seems to be quite a popular option!

nicannie · 03/03/2020 15:31

@timetochangeagainforever that was my fear on Ada. It's becoming a bit popular. Iris was another I actually thought of!!

nicannie · 03/03/2020 15:31

@timetochangeagainforever how do you pronounce Brontë?? Sorry if that sounds silly!!!

nicannie · 03/03/2020 15:32

I ADORE Billie and Ada - I imagine these names on really cool 1920s flapper girls! Jessica just doesn’t live up to these two in my opinion. Billie Ada and Ada Billie are both fab but I prefer Billie as a first name

Tillygetsit · 03/03/2020 22:42

Billie Ada is so cute! I vote that.

Mish85 · 04/03/2020 01:11

Billie Ada has my vote.

Jossina · 04/03/2020 04:33

Billie is okay if it's a nickname. Otherwise it seems you're a BIG fan of Elilish/Piper/Holliday and even then two of them were actually Leian and Eleanor.

Sorayray · 04/03/2020 15:04

My preference in order of favourite to least favourite:
Jessica, Ada, Billie
