Worried we won't ever decide on a girls name!

[Whulfc86]

4 months to go and we can't decide on a name. I had a long list of boys names I loved but had maybe one girls name, so of course it's a girl! I had a hard enough time naming my first daughter.

I have a 10 year old named Georgia, we live in the US and this name is not as popular as it seems to be in the UK.

Can you help with name suggestions? We don't like common and would like something unique/unusual but not to out there.

Here is our list so far, I'm not sure I even really like any of these I just don't hate them so they made the list!

McKenna
Briar
Harper (I don't like the Beckham connection but no one in the US would really know about this)
Blaise
Ashton (Favourite by a slim margin )
Laken
Reese
Quinn
Harley

Camdyn
Delta
Jillian
Peyton

Ashton's the only one I remotely like from your list, but it's not my style.

We don't really have the same taste as I like classic English names, so I'm not much use to you really.

I'm not trying to dissuade you from posting here, but this is predominately a UK site and what you'll get is UK views of US style names, which might not be helpful. Is there not a similar US based website that would help you? You have lots of time to decide, anyway.

Blaise and Ashton are boys names to me.

Harper, Reese (Witherspoon), Briar and McKenna are the best of the lot.

Maybe:
Harlow
Piper
Willow
Everly
Bryn
Juniper
Teagan

I really like Briar and Quinn from your list.

Holliday
Raina
Brynn
Winslow
Albany
Piper

Tuesday
Grainger
Saffron
Darby

Briar is really pretty.
Do you want the name to be us-uk translatable as it were? Some of these are what I would think of as very American. And as pp say, you’re going to get people being rude about us style names. (Having said which I would say definite no to Remington, Bristol, and Holliday).

Kerenza/kerensa?

We have a Georgia (and a Henry). Girls names on our list for ds included

Love Briar

McKenna - surname
Briar - ok, quite nice
Harper - surname
Blaise - french boy's name
Ashton - surname
Laken - no
Reese - surname
Quinn - surname
Harley - surname

They all seem to be surnames. Georgia is pretty and feminine but these are quite masculine and harsh.

Is there a name that would tie in your british roots?
Something like a river name or something?

How about a girl's name like Emma or Elizabeth or Charlotte?

Clio
Delphi
Zoe
Avery
Thea

Tamar

Love Sadie..Amy Huberman called her daughter this

Thank you for all the suggestions. Seeing as I haven't found many girls names I like my list was mostly made up of surnames that could be first names or boys names that could be girls names.

Sienna?

Delta
Delia
Delila

I have four weeks to go & still havent got a boy or a girls name!! Hoping the baby will suit something when he or she arrives :) x

Lakely
Robyn
Jordan
Freya
Saffron
Jenna

It’ll come, I have a Briar so am a bit biased I’m saying that’s my favourite, what about:
Callie
Averie
Ella
Winnie
Noelle
Tara
Zoe
Delilah

Your list is Very American.

Is this your taste? In the UK American names (especially those that sound like surnames) have certain negative connotations. I'm not a fan.

Don't worry - it was 10 days before DD's birth and we still didn't have a name (had a boy's name), when DH poked his hear around the door when I was dropping off to sleep and said 'How about [Name]? I met a [Name] at a party last week and thought it was nice'

And I said 'OK then' - it fit the bill, not weird and unheard of, but not absolutely everywhere, along the lines of the sorts of names we'd liked but discounted for one reason or other (Ottilie - too like 'otter'; Ruby - too ubiquitous; Flora - nice but makes you think of margarine etc!) and it just fell into place.
