Im currently 30 weeks pregnant with my 3rd baby. We dont know the gender but have settled on a boys name. However we are really struggling with girls names. So i thought i would ask whats your all time favourite girls name to see if i could get any ideas?xx

Beatrice is my favourite and would absolutely use if I had a girl. It has special family meaning and I love it.
I also really like Violet and Clementine.
Love Florence too but I'm saving that for my next dog. 😄

I love Cordelia and Iris :)

Scarlett. I love it. But it's a bit of a stripper name, so unfortunately won't be using it.

Apart from the ones I used for my children, I love

Elizabeth (Libby)
Harriet (Hattie)

I like names with shortened versions, so they can change their names if they do not like them. I hate my name, and my daughter hates hers. We both use nicknames that we are known by. This was really important to me.

Clara (from the Nutcracker, obsessed from reading it as a child!) and Clementine
