Help! My baby has no name

We had a baby girl and I cannot think of a name. Every name we liked I just can’t seem to call her and she can’t be baby forever. Any suggestions please? We did like the more vintage/older names but am open to anything right now and prefer something that can be shortened.

If I had a baby girl now I would call her Vivienne.

Annabelle nn Anna- or Belle would be my choice.

Whatever you decide I think you should print out this thread for when she is older.

Oh and Frances as a middle name if not her main name.

I've just had a couple of minutes on google translate looking at 'baby' in other languages, in Icelandic it is 'Elskan' which I think looks like a name, but then she could probably never visit Iceland.

I love the name Alexandra.

We had dds first and second name prior to her birth.

However when she was born and we looked down on her she just wasn’t this name.

We both said at the same time that she was a name we hadn’t ever considered.

Ds was without a name for almost the whole time we had to register his birth.

If you don’t know your babies name it is so hard.
