Hello all! I’m new to mumset but not new to baby name forums. I’ve loved names since like forever. I’d love your opinions on my name list! These are all of the girl names that both DH and I agree on. I’ve sought long and hard for them! What do you think?

Louisa Pearl
Sylvie Anneliese
Rose Amélie
Mary Isobel

There’s one more name I’m in love with but that DH can’t get on board with... I’m working on him though!

Cordelia Faye

Going from your 1-4, it would be:
2.
1.
3.
4.

Louisa Pearl and Mary Isobel are my favourites from your list.

Personally, I'd rearrange and go with Louisa Mary.

JimLaheysWhiskeyBottle · 29/03/2020 18:54

I LOVE Pearl! I wanted it for our daughter, but we couldn't agree on it, so went with a local name instead.
My vote would be Pearl Sylvie.

june2007 · 29/03/2020 18:55

My fave is number 2.

limpbizkit · 29/03/2020 18:55

Louisa pearl. Don't do Mary. That's a fanny in my family Grin and thankyou for choosing normal decent names. I was dreading opening this and seeing a load of wannabe middle class pretentious tongue in cheek ironic names Hmm e.g tuppence Theodora or Betty Rosalind isadora and such like

Smellbellina · 29/03/2020 19:00

Oh Tuppence is the cutest name!!

yatapina · 29/03/2020 19:06

Love Louisa, like Sylvie and Rose but not so keen on Mary (my MIL's and incidentally she is indeed a Fanny @limpbizkit 😁) or Cordelia.

Annalise and Faye are also lovely from your middle name lists.

I'd prefer Faye Annalise or Louisa Faye.

whirlwinds · 29/03/2020 19:14

Very rare I see a complete list of beautiful names, well done OP! Love Louisa Pearl followed by Rose Amélie, Mary Isobel with Sylvie Anneliese last. I like the name Sylvie Anneliese but not sure they fit very well together. Sylvie Rosalind as example rings better in my ears as it feels less like a tongue twister.

limpbizkit · 29/03/2020 19:16

@Smellbellina say whaaaConfused

OVienna · 29/03/2020 19:28

All good. Which doesn't help but you can't go wrong with any of them.

Decide on the day!!!

JustAnotherMumTho · 29/03/2020 19:30

All lovely, but Louisa Pearl is my favourite.

Standrewsschool · 29/03/2020 19:32

Lovely list of names. Why don’t you wait to you meet your baby, then decide which suits her?

CatteStreet · 29/03/2020 19:34

Rose Amelie is the only one I really don't like. I also much prefer Sylvia to Sylvie. And I'm not hugely keen on Cordelia Faye, though don't dislike it as such. Louisa Pearl and Mary Isobel are my favourites - both really lovely combinations and not overly popular.

user1493494961 · 29/03/2020 19:42

I like all of your combinations.

WhittlingIhopMonkey · 29/03/2020 19:46

Mary is beautiful, or Molly as a nickname. Love Rose too.

Not a fan of Sylvie or Louisa

Whatsyourflava · 29/03/2020 19:57

Hate cordelia (too frilly sounds like some kind or cordial drink with the chef name Delia added on the end to make it far too long)
and hate Mary (too religious and plain)

LOvE Rose and Louisa

s3tut0y3r · 29/03/2020 21:56

Louisa Pearl is lovely

Onceuponatimethen · 29/03/2020 21:58

Love Mary.

Not wild about Isobel with it though and prefer the Isabel spelling personally

Iwasbornonchristmaseve · 29/03/2020 21:59

I adore Mary Isobel. Very very beautiful.
Mary is always very well received on MN based on previous threads I’ve seen!

helpmum2003 · 29/03/2020 22:00

Great combos all of them. I don't know which I'd choose.

Iwasbornonchristmaseve · 29/03/2020 22:01

Louisa Pearl- I like Louisa but don’t like Pearl at all!
Sylvie Anneliese- Sylvie seems to be having a ‘moment’ but I’ve heard from a french friend that no french person would name their child Sylvie because it’s such a ‘granny name’
Rose Amélie- I like Rose but not Amelie. Again, Amelie is so popular, I just don’t want to hear the name ever again Grin
Mary Isobel- stunning

Iwasbornonchristmaseve · 29/03/2020 22:03

Really don’t like Cordelia

Pinkypink · 29/03/2020 22:46

Love all your middle names except Faye.
Think you should reverse them all.
Love Anneliese, Amelie, Isobel and Pearl

limpbizkit · 29/03/2020 22:49

What about Faye as a first name?

Butterfly84 · 29/03/2020 22:51

Cordelia Faye is awful OP. Cordelia seems made up and just does not sound nice IMO. Stop trying to get your DH on board with that one.

Sylvie is my favourite. Very classic and feminine. Like all the names (other than Cordelia) for a middle name.
