Girls list

[Sexnotgender]

Had a scan to find out the sex this afternoon and it’s a girl!

Thoughts on our list:

Pearl
Joy
Bonnie
Penelope

Any other suggestions welcome

Pearl is lovely I have only met one little Pearl and she was such a nice girl , also my late mil's middle name . Understated and classy , my fave from your list . Oh and congratulations!

Congratulations! Penelope and Pearl are my favourites from your list!

Congratulations! Love Joy, Pearl then Penelope in that order. Not so keen on Bonnie, feels like it needs something longer behind it, Bonita perhaps, I've known a lovely one. Other names with a similar feel

Hope
Coral
Cora
Felicity

I like Joy and Bonnnie. Penelope seems to be increasing in popularity but I think of wacky races.

I like Joy, Bonnie and Penelope (Penny). Not keen on Pearl.

Congratulations OP!
My least favourite is Pearl but I like them all! I really love Joy

Some other suggestions
Harriet (NN Hattie)
Catherine (NN Kitty)
Nell
Ruby
Rosalind
Rosemary
Julianna
Margot
Felicity
Josie
Rowena
Alma
Honey
Honor
Aster
Phoebe

Seren

Bonnie isn’t my favourite either.

I like Hope, also quite like Nina.

Thoughts on...

Juliet
Nancy
Helen

How about Sylvie or Sylvia?

Like them all, prefer penny to Penelope though, also wacky races for me. Love Nancy especially, my friend has a gorgeous wee Nancy. Nina too.

Nell?

My mums name unfortunately! I like it but can’t use it.

Nell?

Ooh I like Nell.

Penelope would likely be Penny but would use full name on BC.

I love Pearl and Joy. Gorgeous names. I think Joy is my favourite by a smudged as it’s...well, so joyous!

Like Penelope and Bonnie. Bonnie maybe a bit cutesy, though. But I can see it’s appeal. I’d just like to have an alternative if I was called Bonnie, something stronger.

We’ve got a middle name Nell as couldn’t get DH to agree. I love it, simple but chic and intelligent! Suppose it could be a nn for Penelope too...

Ps congratulations on your girl news! Do you have boys or girls already?

I just tabled Nell to DH and he made a face 😏

And thank you, we’re so excited for our girl.

I’ve got an older daughter from my first marriage and a toddler boy with DH.

Suggestions:

Lottie
Eleanor
Rosa
Octavia
Adela
Grace
Faith
Heidi
Scarlett
Elsie

I think you’ve all put me off Bonnie 😂 it wasn’t a favourite thankfully.

Suggestions:

Lottie
Eleanor
Rosa
Octavia
Adela
Grace
Faith
Heidi
Scarlett
Elsie

Love Eleanor but DH has vetoed it.

Bonnie is a lovely name! It would be our first choice for a girl also.

I really like Joy from your list.

Although I like the sound of the name Pearl, I don’t like the way that pearls are cultivated, which puts me off that name.

I think Joy and Hope are big names to live up too, especially if your child is introverted or naturally pessimistic.

I prefer Ellen or Helena to Helen (though that might be because I have never met a Helen that I get on with).

How about:
Estelle
Stella
Francesca
Magda
Fenella?

Estelle Stella Francesca Magda Fenella?

Only really like Francesca but it’s too close to my sons name.

We had a similar list, I like bonnie and love Penelope. I had Perla rather than Pearl.
