37 weeks and no name!

Starting to panic that I haven't found a girls name that I love. Don't want anything super popular but equally not obscure. Not a fan of names ending in 'a' which appears to be restricting me slightly!

Current possibilities Bethan and Eloise (which I don't think DH would go for). She will be a sister for Lucas.

Help!

Calm down. She doesn't need a name yet (unless you mean she's 37 weeks old?!).

Bethan and Eloise are both nice.

How about:

Penelope
Margot
Naimh
Charlotte
Ariadne
Rowan
Maeve
Cariad
Robyn

Eloise is lovely and goes well with Lucas.
What about Jasmin or Zoe ?

No need to have a name sorted before she arrives. Get a short list together and see what she looks like when she arrives.

Eloise and Bethan are both lovely. Not too popular or too ‘out there’
Other nice ones Along a similar theme are Bethany, Stephanie or Nancy?

Can't believe I forgot Juliet and Madeleine!

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 25/07/2021 20:47

Of your current choices OP I think I slightly prefer Eloise with Lucas somehow, but Bethan is pretty too.

Lockdownmummy · 25/07/2021 20:49

Thanks for the suggestions so far.

We didn't pick DS name until after he was born but we had a longer list that we narrowed down. This time round I feel a bit lost, and there just seems to be fewer names that I like.

I don't like Bethan or Eloise.

Bethan is boring and dated.
Eloise is yet another El name and Louise is so much nicer.

Oh I really like Bethan. But pronounced Beth-an, not Beth-un.

I think Eloise is getting more popular, I know a couple.
