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

What’s your vote?

Thanks in advance 😊

Etta! Beautiful and we would have called our dd that but our friends had nabbed that name first.

LotusClover · 12/04/2020 16:52

Congrats! 💕

I really think you should choose April. It's pretty, effeminate, timeless, and it goes well with your DD1's name Sylvie. Pearl is a bit stripper-ish and won't age well. I can only picture Nancy on an older woman, and Etta looks and sounds a bit rough. April is perfect!

Whichever name you choose, good luck! xx

Although lovely, all of these are going to be the most over-subscribed girls names of 2020 I fear.

Does the little lady have a name yet OP? Grin

Wonderful news @sheshallbenameless1, massive congratulations! Welcome Etta Grace, a beautiful name.

Do not use April, every one I've ever known has had to put up with Ape jokes at one point in their lives.

Awww great choice!!

My favourite right from the start.
Gorgeous middle name too.

Enjoy your new little bundle 😬

Yaaaay! Sad about Pearl but Ettie Grace obviously suits her! Glad you got to use one of your choices in the end OP - quite right too! @Sheshallbenameless1 ❤️

Etta Grace is lovely. I was going to vote for Etta as it reminds me of Etta James, classy and talented. Congratulations Flowers
