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

What’s your vote?

Thanks in advance 😊

How are you doing @Sheshallbenameless1

MummaSt · 11/04/2020 16:44

Nancy is lovely

MummaSt · 11/04/2020 16:45

Ah just saw that you’re having her today!! Hope everything is going well ☺️

Tanfastic · 11/04/2020 16:59

Nancy and April are my faves.

I am surprised at the amount that like Etta. That's my least favourite

RedWine123 · 11/04/2020 17:13

Etta or April. All the best for tomorrow. x

Etta and Nancy both lovely. The others not so much but it's all very much personal opinion of course. Hope you meet her very soon!

Marlena1 · 11/04/2020 17:20

Love April!!! (Or Avril)

BatleyTownswomensGuild · 11/04/2020 17:52

April or Olive! Both lovely names.

Etta just sounds like someone clearing their throat....

SumAndSubstance · 11/04/2020 19:42

April, Olive, Nancy, Etta, Pearl.
I like them as far down as Nancy. Etta is alright. I don’t like Pearl.

April or Nancy get my vote. Both gorgeous names. And good luck OP! Please come back and update us when she's here and you're both safe and well.

Sheshallbenameless1 · 11/04/2020 21:07

Thanks so much everyone for the opinions, comments and well wishes 🥰
She is here and healthy and I am finally back in the land of the living. She is still nameless though unfortunately. I want Etta or Nancy, DH wants April or Pearl. We’ve decided she really doesn’t look like an Olive so we’ve at least eliminated one but now it’s just a battle of wills I think. If anyone has any other suggestions that they feel would suit our taste, please send them our way!

Pearl Etta ❤️

LarkDescending · 11/04/2020 21:32

Congratulations!

From you list I like Etta Pearl.

Suggestions: Cora, Fay, Honor?

Viviennemary · 11/04/2020 21:35

Don't like Etta. Pearl is lovely. April not sure but quite nice. Olive not keen. Nancy ok.

Mapless · 11/04/2020 21:38

Pearl

Whywhywhynow · 11/04/2020 21:41

I love them all...no help sorry... if I HAD to pick, I think Etta is beautiful and Pearl OSs a close second

Whywhywhynow · 11/04/2020 21:41

Ooh, just seen she’s here. Congratulations!

Whywhywhynow · 11/04/2020 21:42

Opal?

Whywhywhynow · 11/04/2020 21:44

Meredith?

MayFayner · 11/04/2020 21:44

Nancy or Pearl.

Nancy is my favourite ❤️

Congratulations!

BrokenNails · 11/04/2020 21:44

Nancy 1st choice
Pearl 2nd choice

April and Etta ok

Really don't like Olive (sorry). It's too much of a word rather than a name in my book. Taking it as a literal, olive is not the prettiest colour; it's a (veg? fruit? cocktail adornment?) and it sounds quite masculine especially compared to your other choices.

Whywhywhynow · 11/04/2020 21:45

Miriam?

I’ll stop now.

BrokenNails · 11/04/2020 21:45

Also just seen your update! Congratulations Flowers

I can't help thinking Nancy Pearl has a nice ring to it Smile

Angelik · 11/04/2020 21:55

Congratulations! I'm impressed you posted after c section!

I vote pearl because I've got a pearl. She is beautiful naturally but also affectionate, a quick thinker, decisive, certain of herself in a calm, confident way, can laugh at herself, finds joy and fun in the most ordinary of activities, gives everything her best, takes pride in herself and her efforts, an utter joy.

Whatever name you choose will be perfect for your daughter
