Hi,

Me and my husband are having our first baby due November. We have the perfect name for a boy but we cannot agree on a girls name. We did really like Niamh before I was pregnant but now I'm pregnant I just don't feel like it fits for this pregnancy.... don't know why, just don't.

Here's a list of the sort of names I like but has anyone got any other suggestions?

Myla
Lena
Emilie
Naomi

That's really about it tbh. I don't want anything common but also not something really out there. We both do like Myla but I'm not sure about people's opinions on it.

Please help. Thanks :)

Congratulations! Really like Lena and Naomi.
Is Emilie pronounced Emily? If so I much prefer the Emily spelling but that is very popular.
Myla is ok but I don’t love it.
Other suggestions...
Florence
Dorothy
Eliza
Mabel
Penelope
Maia
Savannah
Millie
Edith

I love Myla, I think it’s really pretty and it was on my list.
Love Naomi too but the Ny / Nay correction put me off a bit.

Eleni
Luella
Delilah
Elise
Mila

I like Niamh the most off your list.
Myla reminds me too much of Myra (sorry).

Myla is gorgeous

If you both really like Myla, no one else's opinion actually matters.

DoctorBambino · 02/06/2020 09:57

Myla - I would pronounce this my la rather than me la (which I would spell Mila), I like both
Lena - like it
Emilie - prefer Emilia
Naomi - like it

All seem quite German to me

In order of preference

  1. Naomi
  2. Niamh
  3. Myla
  4. Lena
  5. Emilie.

All the emily/Amelie/Emilie/Emilia/Amelia names are really popular

Bethymae · 02/06/2020 16:03

Thank you all. Myla would be pronuces My-la not mi-la. I don't actually like mila 😂

I think as some comments have said if I like it, it doesn't matter what others think.
