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

I don't have kids, but if id had a daughter she'd be either Eleanor or Rhiannon.

My favourite is Cherry
I would love a little girl called Cherry but my oh never liked it... plus my first daughter is called Clementine and I'm apparently not aloud to name my children after a fruit bowl lol

My favourite girls name is Eilidh.

If we were having a girl, I think DH would veto it on spelling grounds (we’re not in Scotland) so I’d try for Ailis instead (because it’s not hard to spell).

Emma is by far the best of those.

My all time favourite girls names are
Anna
Lucy
Olivia
Jasmine
Natalie
Judith
Helen

I find them all so fresh, sensible and pretty sounding. Also international. My daughter's name is not on that list! It didn't work with sibling/ surname combinations.

Bettysprocker · 07/07/2020 00:51

Eve
Kathryn
Marnie
Edie
Esty

Deliqueen · 07/07/2020 01:00

Seren,

Some lovely unusual ones mentioned in this thread too!

Sorry just seen you have a shortlist! Nova similar to Nola though I wasn’t far off Smile

NC4Now · 07/07/2020 01:32

Joanie which could also work as a tribute to your mum.

I also love Eliza, Iris and Rosalind.

Lara and Carmen, couldn't use either but dd has a name that has appeared a couple of times here which is nice

I'm Emma and I always disliked it as it's so common but I spent some time in the US and got loads of compliments on it. I liked it better then

Nuttybea · 08/07/2020 10:19

Thank you everyone for all the suggestions. There is a few here I want to discuss with my partner. Who knew choosing a name could be soo hard Blush. We will find the perfect girls name Star
