Just found out we are having a baby girl after two boys and I’m all into pretty girl names!! If you’d had a girl what would you have called her? Or what’s your favourite ever girl name?

I like Aurora especially with the nn Rory or Roe

BertieBotts · 31/05/2021 13:33

Luna, Astrid, Sofie, Seren or Ingrid.

I love so many girls' names! Sadly I am having my third boy :o

BertieBotts · 31/05/2021 13:33

Aurora is lovely as well.

Soubriquet · 31/05/2021 13:33

I like Anya and Tessa too

Iloveyou3x · 31/05/2021 13:35

@BertieBotts as a mom of two boys also I think girls names are definitely easier!! Do you have a name picked for your third boy? Congratulations!! A little band of boys will be adorable Smile

Antigone - always loved it

BertieBotts · 31/05/2021 13:39

No not yet, DH and I can't agree on what we like. We are going to take a shortlist into hosp and see what he looks like.

I love Lars and Idris but I think he will most likely end up being called Alex :o Which is also lovely. DH is set on Niko, though, which I don't really like.

Temple29 · 31/05/2021 13:42

We would have picked Aubree for a girl.

Also have two boys. Huge congrats 😊

zafferana · 31/05/2021 13:42

I had two DSs so we never had to use a girl name, but DS1 was going to be Carys and DS2 was going to be Natalie!

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 31/05/2021 13:49

Oriana
Emily

Iloveyou3x · 31/05/2021 14:05

Love Esme as a name ❤️

Tara, although in my head I love Claudia and Lucia people wouldn't pronounce them properly and it would drive be batshit.

Tara is simple and sassy , would also consider Clara

samandpoppysmummy · 31/05/2021 14:09

My DD is called Poppy Amelia. If I'd had another girl, she would have been called Jemima Lucy.

Terrazzo · 31/05/2021 14:09

Either:

Leonie
Sidonie
Adelaide
Zara
Zoe
Gabriella
Alyssa
MALLORY is my favourite name but I just couldn’t because of Mal = bad.
Hazel, Hayden, Heidi but can’t with our surname
