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

My not brave enough name would be Sibyl

CamdenLurker · 14/12/2020 16:32

Cordelia or Cecilia

Joni is the name I really wish I'd called dd1.

Mopani · 14/12/2020 16:33

Not really that brave but I've always had a soft spot for the name Kelsey.

DecemberSun · 14/12/2020 16:34

Always wanted a Phryne but had 2 boys.

Danni91 · 14/12/2020 16:36

Samantha holly
Emily grace

First and middle names

DontStopThinkingAboutTomorrow · 14/12/2020 16:37

My current favourites are Elena and Esther- good for twins?

CentrifugalBumblePuppy · 14/12/2020 16:38

Persephone or Calliope.

There’s no being brave, both of my children have odd names anyway.

waltzingparrot · 14/12/2020 16:38

Eppie
Hetty

boymum88 · 14/12/2020 16:40

Evelyn
Rose
Ada

The debate around Isis reminded me of something else

A friend of mine was having a boy and thought about calling him Osama! It's a nice name but the family reminded her that maybe it was too soon to give that name to a child Grin

fdgdfgdfgdfg · 14/12/2020 16:45

Kira

I'm sure she'd give me a kicking in years to come for naming her after a Star Trek character, but I love the name, and the character embodies all of the qualities I'd want in a child.

Unfortunately, my partner absolutely hated the name so my actual daughter is named after a Superman character instead. God, we're geeks.

(And yes, I know Kira was her surname, but Nerys is fucking hideous)

Boymumzy · 14/12/2020 16:48

Evangeline (Eve for short)
Winter
Violet
Iris
Ivy
Mazikeen (if I was brave enough, I love Maze from Lucifer 😂)

Angel2702 · 14/12/2020 16:52

Penelope

BikeRunSki · 14/12/2020 16:56

Lorelei - the name I wasn’t brave enough to call DD.

ButterflyOfFreedom · 14/12/2020 16:58

Maybe Lois or Lauren

Frostythesnowwoman · 14/12/2020 16:58

Nice to have seen DD’s name here Smile

If I was to have another baby girl I would campaign for Ottaline.

nevergoingoutagain · 14/12/2020 16:59

Juliette, Helena or Vivienne.

My not so safe name is Rowan but only because it sound ridiculous with my surname.

Middle name would be Hazel after my sister.

BarbiesWorld · 14/12/2020 17:00

Martha.

DH was very glad DS was a boy because he hates Martha and I wouldn't budge on it

Floridana · 14/12/2020 17:01

Always loved Bonnie but couldn't choose it because it doesn't go well with our last name.
Brave name would be Delta

Caramel81 · 14/12/2020 17:01

Hazel

Roomba · 14/12/2020 17:06

Hmm, Genevieve, Ygraine or Evangeline. Or maybe Matilda (if DS1 or DS2 had been girls I was going to call them Matilda).

NiceLegsShameAboutTheFace · 14/12/2020 17:07

Rebecca. And Rachael if she had a twin Smile

WinterGarden633 · 14/12/2020 17:09

Sabriel. (Pronounced say-briel)

I’ve always liked it, DH vetoed. :(

EnPoinsettia · 14/12/2020 17:10

Rebecca Rose

Somebodyotherthanme · 14/12/2020 17:16

Noa or brave choice Scheherezade.
