OK so Im now 34weeks+ and we have no name for baby girl yet. In fact baby no name is starting to sound quite good to me!

anyway I'm so sick of looking up names and just seeing the same thing all the time. I was thinking maybe we could just get a list up of things we 'like' and see what she suits when she appears but then I was thinking I may be an emotional mess then and agree to something I dont actually like at all.

we did like Freya but I feel like its becoming so popular..
I dont want something WAYYY out there but also not something thats super popular. I just want something to jump out at me but atm everything is just a bit MEH Hmm

Middle name is sorted tho which will be Valerie and surname begins with F

so please helppppp!!!

Did you decide @Nova324

Nova324 · 22/04/2020 17:04

Thanks everyone! I think the valerie makes it a little bit harder as I'm not sure we should then use a name if it also ends in ie. Also I dont know if I would like the F F initials. So fussy I know. Maybe i am thinking about initials etc too much cause I wouldn't want it to be IVF and not sure then about the FVF... omg I feel like the worst!!

OP what did you decide? :) (if you’ve had her yet)

I was thinking maybe we could just get a list up of things we 'like' and see what she suits when she appears but then I was thinking I may be an emotional mess then and agree to something I dont actually like at all.

I did exactly this! Had a name (kind of) sorted, but always loved a name that was so popular at the time it was a definitely a no....until she was born, then it was the name I loved (of course 😭!)...

Big mistake, I think it's still number 1....!!Blush (it does suit her though!)

Jade is lovely - congrats Op Flowers

AragornsManlyStubble · 09/05/2020 09:47

I’m a Jade, great name choice OP. Never hear on little ones now.

Taddda · 09/05/2020 09:52

@AragornsManlyStubble I haven't heard a 'Jade' in quite a while either- it really is lovely Op! (My 1yr old is also a 'Gem' great choice! 👍)

Edenember · 09/05/2020 11:01

@Nova324 I love Theia, pronounced Thay-a, but feel it may rise in popularity. My shortlist of girls names is Eliza, Erika, Freya, Rowena, Theia and Tilda.
Cleo, Caro, Heidi, Ingrid, Astrid, Elspeth, Honor, Isolde, Aphra, Iona, Sephora, Sylvie, Xanthe.
