Girls' names

[OhToBeASeahorse]

Due in a week and a half. Don't know the sex but we are decided on our boy's name.

Shortlist:
Matilda (growing on me, DH thinks it's a bit boring)
Hadley (I loved until about 2 weeks ago. This is DH's favourite).
Orla (too popular now?)
Iris (feel like this is a better middle name!)
Saoirse (my fave but I feel like we will be saddling her with a lifetime of spelling issues)

All 4 go with our surname, no issues there.

No, I dont think he really knows what is about to happen! When he said 'Orla' I went all mushy, maybe that's a sign...

Last time it was easy, we were decided really early on!

Hahaha yes, he is much more excited about ambulances than babies!

@OhToBeASeahorse - where are you based? Saoirse won't cause any problems in Ireland, Scotland or any multicultural city.

No we are in fairly rural Kent!

Actually, I live in a very multicultural City, but I don't know how to pronounce Saoirse.
How do you say it ?

Seer-sha

Thank you.

How about Saorla or Saorlaith?

Just to update the thread - we had a girl and we have named her Dorothea Hadley.

Congratulations OP hope you and baby Dorothea are doing well. Beautiful name xx

Congratulations OP, that's wonderful news

Hadley is gorgeous I love it and my second DC would have been matilda but he was a boy! Love both of those don't like the other two at all sorry. Iris is a gorgeous middle name which goes with both. Good luck xx

Congratulations hope you are both well. Great choice of name and Thea such a lovely nickname

Congratulations! Lovely name!
