If you were to have a girl tomorrow...

[HansGruber]

What would you call her?

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

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

Thank you

If I was brave enough 'Scout' the little girl from to kill a mockingbird. Love it

Maria.

Feeling braver... Mairead.

Persephone
Zipporah
Araminta
Seraphina

I have a boy, so my imagination has run wild!

River.

So many girls names that I love
If I had a girl tomorrow she would probably be Skye or Keira

Brave would be
Autumn or indigo

Also love Arwen (from lord of the rings).

I'd choose Felicity, Penelope, Josephine, Jennifer or Meredith.

Valentina

Athena, or Artemis.

Natalie, Erica, Zara or Louisa.

Maud and Gudrun

Savannah

Sadbh.

I don't have a concept of 'brave names'. We gave DS a name that three or fewer babies were named in his year or birth (or whatever number is low enough for them not to give a specific number?), and which, on the rare occasions it comes up on here seems to be in the 'Names I wish I was brave enough to use' category. Which I think is silly. It's an actual name, extremely ordinary in other countries, and he has no issues with it.

Xanthe
Ottilie
Isolde

Would be my top three but we have a very complex surname so more likely to be:

Clara
Alice
Esme

My knee-jerk reaction was Eleanor which surprised me because normally Isabel, Pippa or Grace are the top of my list.

My ‘if I were brave enough’ names are Arabella and Aurelia, I love them but don’t think we are posh enough to pull them off!

Anna or Arabella

Clementine, I just love it.

@TheLightSideOfTheMoon

Ramona. Maybe.

I like Luna but it's overused.

Edith. Nora.

Love Arriety but not brave enough.

I’ve seen Arietty mentioned on here quite a few times and always think about the fact that it’s a name from The Borrowers and a feature of their names is that they’re ‘borrowed’ and not quite right.

I wanted Xanthe for DD but was vetoed so she’s Harriet. She’s in her 30s though, so even that raised a few eyebrows at the time.

Jemima, hebe, Hannah or Sophie. If I was braver, clementine or seraphina.

Penmy

Oops
Penny

Isabelle but Izzy for short

Jessica
Roxanne

Arlo
