What would you call your daughter

[Lumie123]

What did you call your daughter or what would you call your daughter?
After some ideas for my own list.

Names on the shortlist that we didn't use:
Bethany
Elinor
Felicity
Keziah

The names we chose were in the top 100 for England at the time, one has risen in popularity more than the other.

Definitely no more children for me and to name my actual children could be outing but I think the girls' name that got away is probably Melissa. I love it's soft sounds and the honey bee associations in Greek mythology. Middle name would be Shakespearean.

My favourite names are all classics: some currently very popular, others less so. Too 20 are probably these (which include the names I picked for my daughters)

Caroline
Victoria
Elizabeth
Charlotte
Catherine
Sarah
Emily
Helen(a)
Rebecca
Olivia

On our list was:
Sienna
Scarlett
Zoe
Helena
Ava
Didn't go with any of these but I like them all, specially the last two.

Emilia
Solveig
Thora
Iben
Ember
Fenja

Maren
Violet
Tess
Eliza

Eloise
Hazel

I like Willow for another. No more DC for me, so I might get a cat.

Always liked P names for a girl. My list is

Piper
Penny
Paisley

I also love Indigo, Delilah and Mabel too

Matilda

When I was younger (around 13-14) i came up with a name that I loved and decided it would definitely be used in the future. I had never heard it before and didn’t even know how to spell it, until one day I was off school sick and watching This Morning (as you do!) there was a girl on there who was doing gymnastics and she had the name I invented.

Liarna was how it was spelt on TV but I’m not keen on how it looks. It was pronounced Lee-are-ner

I have still never met anyone irl with that name.

Other names I like are Laurel (current fav) and Thea

I also like Lydia, although I still see that as more of a middle aged name.

Genevieve
Madeleine
Emmeline
Felicity
Verity
Clementine
Clemency
Hermione
Antigone
Constance

I have two dds but won't list them as they are quiet uncommon names (there were 10 born the same year as Dd1 with her name)

However if I were to have a third daughter my shortlist would definitely be:

Jocelyn
Madeline /Madeleine
Olive
Bryony

Whoops, meant to say 'top 10' in my last post, but as I said 20, here are some more of my favourites:

Isobel
Eleanor
Alice
Lucy
Rosamund/Rose
Julia
Sylvia
Diana
Stephanie
Irene (but only when pronounced with 3 syllables)

Hattie
Tabitha
Arietty

DS would have been Rosa if he had been a girl.

Violet

Rose

My only regret in life, not choosing this.

Phillipa
Felicity
Hebe

Esyllt is my favourite girls name, but it won't work in England due to the letter Ll. So - Alys, Eira, Mari, Morwenna or Tesni.

Or

Lyra, Rosa or Juliet.

I also really like Louisa but have a 'no feminine version of a male name' rule so can't use it.

Frances (Frankie)
Esther
Josephine (Josie)
Also on my lists were
Charlotte (lottie)
Constance (Connie)
Helena

Current fav is Juliet which il never get to use 😭
