C-section tomorrow and still no idea on what this little lady’s name is.

What’s your vote?

Thanks in advance 😊

Thanks so much for all the opinions so far. Quite a mixed bag.
I do love Olive but it seems like such a marmite name. Don’t know if I want to lumber her with that in case she grows up to be in the hate camp 🤔

Etta

Always loved the name April ❤️

MyNeckMyBack · 09/04/2020 17:03

Etta or Pearl

NeedToKnow101 · 09/04/2020 17:04

Nancy for me

NeedToKnow101 · 09/04/2020 17:05

Olivia is much nicer than Olive

NeedToKnow101 · 09/04/2020 17:08

I love Esther, Alistine but shortened to Ali, and Sally (not that you asked lol).

I think Etta is ok but it depends on her other names.

Still Nancy and Olivia, not Olive for me. Actually April is quite sweet.

Sorry missed the name April, my daughter puts it 2nd, I'd put it last sorry

DorothyBastard · 09/04/2020 17:17

Olive

But they’re all great names, good choices

blondie87 · 09/04/2020 17:24

Olive is gorgeous!

Whatsyourflava · 09/04/2020 17:27

Oh Olive is just the most beautiful name I honestly SO WISH it were my name ❤️ @Sheshallbenameless1

You can’t predict what anyone will think of any name as the next generation will see names so differently to our generation. Just give her a middle name option too x

Sunny345H · 09/04/2020 17:34

To me Olive and Nancy are old lady names. Of the others I like April the best, I know 3 toddlers called April and all of them are a delight

pinkpanther84 · 09/04/2020 17:42

Pearl Smile

Nancy

Linlinds · 09/04/2020 18:57

Love April xx

villamariavintrapp · 09/04/2020 19:01

Love April or Olive. Nancy and Pearl are ok. And Etta are the terrorists. And it's nothingy as a name, sounds like the last syllable of something.

LesLavandes · 09/04/2020 19:01

Nancy

Spied · 09/04/2020 19:04

The only one I like is Nancy.

Olive is my least,least,least favourite.

georgialondon · 09/04/2020 19:46

Always loved Etta. It was on my list last time

123Dancewithme · 09/04/2020 23:37

Pearl

olivehater · 09/04/2020 23:38

Nancy. Only one I like. Also if you like Nancy you might like Nina.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 09/04/2020 23:40

April

emptyplinth · 09/04/2020 23:40

Nancy or Pearl
Not Olive, sorry

SE13Mummy · 09/04/2020 23:48

Olive!

It's a fabulous name, not overused in the same way Olivia is and it avoids the cutesy 'ee' ending that lots of girls names have. I like names that have nickname options too and Olive does e.g. Olly, Liv, Livvy.
