What would you call her?

Also, is the name your ‘if I was brave enough’ name? If not please tell me them both Grin

I’m hoping to find inspiration because we’ve come up with 3 names and none feel ‘right’.

Thank you Xmas Smile

Josephine.

I don't do "brave" or not as a concept for naming, I just give a name I like. My son is named after a ninja turtle for example. He seems quite pleased with this.

I am pregnant but just found out we're having a boy. Fleur and Clara were my top two girls names although I suspect we would have gone with Clara as its a bit "safer"

I found I was persuaded by name meanings too.I ended up googling "names that mean..." and I came across a lot of names I hadn't considered.

NeonSparkle · 14/12/2020 14:11

Keira, Faye or Maeve

My not brave enough to use names are Silver, Stevie or Seren

Vita. It’s short and sweet. That’s if it was solely up to me. If my partner had a say as well it would probably be Diana or Alice. I wouldn’t give a name I felt I had to be brave to use, as it’s the child who is the one who has to bear the name.

Thefaceofboe · 14/12/2020 14:11

I would call her Genevieve, Violet or Ruby (if my partner didn’t get a day) Grin

Thefaceofboe · 14/12/2020 14:11

a say

Hell's Belles as I am 49!!
Grin

TheLightSideOfTheMoon · 14/12/2020 14:17

Ramona. Maybe.

I like Luna but it's overused.

Edith. Nora.

Love Arriety but not brave enough.

grey12 · 14/12/2020 14:24

Helena or Helen (like Helen of Troy)

My DDs have all arabic names Smile but I remember liking that name when I was younger

EugenesAxe · 14/12/2020 14:26

Bryony Sarah
Virginia Elanor
Christina Alice

I really preferred Bryony Jennifer but then she would have been BJ. Fuck I really wanted Virginia Alice too, but then if she married a 'G' she'd be VAG. Not sure if any of these would get past my husband.

andannabegins · 14/12/2020 14:27

Anwen or Arwin

Twobrews · 14/12/2020 14:48

A combo of
Ramona
Frances
Scarlett,
no idea what order as love them all.

Also love Willow and Iris.

FlorenceNightshade · 14/12/2020 14:53

Imogen. Always loved it but only have boys.

PeskyRooks · 14/12/2020 14:59

Autumn or Hazel
I was brave enough to use the unusual names I liked for dds but these two were vetoed by DH.

DobbyTheHouseElk · 14/12/2020 15:01

Esther

iwantsnow · 14/12/2020 15:02

Rema Georgina - family names that I love, I'm too old now, but would love to see those names continued in the family.

icedaisy · 14/12/2020 15:03

I'm having one this week.....

But I have no idea either.

Jemima, Scarlett, holly, Murren, all floating about at present.

OffredOfjune · 14/12/2020 15:03

Sylvia

Hodgewell1 · 14/12/2020 15:03

I liked Xanthe and Romilly - both vetoed by DH

ClaraBean · 14/12/2020 15:05

If it was a joint decision it would be Muriel or Jean.
If it was only down to me it would be Priscilla.

bluechameleon · 14/12/2020 15:05

I have two boys so never got to use my girl names. Clara, Harriet, Genevieve, Matilda, Emmeline... if I had to pick one right now it would be Matilda.

Lottieskeeper · 14/12/2020 15:05

I would call her Charlotte.

Apart from she would have an older sister Charlotte. So maybe Georgina but I love Charlotte Grin

NerdyBird · 14/12/2020 15:05

I loved the name Nina, but my dh said no. My brave name for a girl is Sherlock.

BewareTheBeardedFatMan · 14/12/2020 15:06

Isis or Saoirse

blitzen · 14/12/2020 15:10

Probably Felicity. Brave name would be Liberty.
