I'm seriously struggling with girls names!
Anything I like, OH doesn't. There's a few he likes, but I'm not keen on. Neither of us have a "special" name, or a name we absoloutely love. Help!!!

Our sons name is George, and last name begins with K, so I don't want any "matching" names, so no G or K names preferably.

I like Belle as a middle name, but not a first name.

Our list of definite no's, as these are either recent family baby names, or both, or one of us just doesn't like at all:
Delilah
Ren
Quinn
Everly
Harper
Willow
Mila
Myah

Our POSSIBLE names:
Daisy (I like)
Edie (both like)
Nora (OH likes)
Bonnie(both like) (would be "matching" with middle name, but that's OK, just don't want a KK or another GK)
Iyra (I like)
Indy (I like)

any other suggestions?? Help a mama out please!

We’re struggling for a girls name ourselves. I’ve found the ‘My baby names’ section of the Ovia app super helpful. It shows you a name and you can click ‘nah’ ‘like’ or ‘love’ to help you com up with names.

Good luck!!

BinnynClued · 02/09/2021 23:11

@mamainthemaking thankyou, I don't have that app so I'll check it out now! I'm finding most names are really not my style or don't fit with our surname etc!

It’s so hard isn’t it @BinnynClued! Belle is a lovely middle name though!

ITSSSSCHRISTMASSS · 02/09/2021 23:27

I know an Edie who is lovely, her sisters name is driving me man but it’s also pretty.

Cecily Belle
Felicity Belle
Mabel Belle
Daisy Belle

I like Nora too. Also like Bonnie.

mocktheweek1 · 02/09/2021 23:32

The Charlie's names app is also good, you pair with your partner and then can see a list of names that you've both liked

mocktheweek1 · 02/09/2021 23:32

I also really like Daisy and Edie

BinnynClued · 02/09/2021 23:38

@juicylemon Just one!

@awwlookatmybabyspider ooh I like Clara and Nancy! Could imagine them sitting in a Manor sipping tea Brew

I like lily but my partner just isn't keen, I think because his closest friend is calling his baby lily, he thinks it would be awkward as they're due 2 months apart.

@makinganavalon
Ooh I quite like Emerson, I used to work with a girl who's son was called Emerson so I always thought it was a boys name but then I've seen it on a few girls names lists recently! Juliette is a no, OH ex is called Julia so I think I'd get a bit peed off with that name.
OH wanted iris as a middle name after his nana, but as my middle name is after my nana and I absoloutely hate it, I just don't think I could do it to my child 😕

BinnynClued · 02/09/2021 23:49

@mamainthemaking it sure is! Hopefully we both find a name we love! I don't even know where Belle came from, I was just like yep, that's the middle name! Was so much easier with George. His name actually started off as a joke before I was even pregnant, and then it just kind of stuck. His middle name came from a film and I randomly mentioned the name to OH and he was like yep, love it. Then when I was 30+ weeks, we went away for a weekend and the very last street we went down, was named the 2 names we had picked, so we knew then that that was definitely his name!

Do you like Bella, rather than Belle? Many names just don't go with Belle, whereas Bella seems to sounds better. In saying that, 99% of the time, it 1st name and surname, not middle name also.

Are you into nature names, classic or any particular theme? George (to me) is classic. Do you want the same?

Ivy
Rosy/Rosie

Dorothy
Jane
Amy
Alice
Merryn
Melinda

BinnynClued · 02/09/2021 23:53

@itsssschristmasss Edie is the top contender at the minute I think, I really do like Bonnie though. I'm not a big fan of matchy matchy names but I think Bonnie Belle would be nice?? Mabel is also nice!!

I’ve just remembered Eddie’s sister, it’s Hettie, another lovely name.

BinnynClued · 02/09/2021 23:55

@mocktheweek1 aww thankyou, I will have a look at it! I'll do anything to find a name haha. Seriously struggling. We had picked matilda before we found out the sex with my son, but I've totally gone off it now!

OP posts:
Babyfg · 02/09/2021 23:55

I have a George and if we had a girl next our names were Emma, rose (Rosie) and Harper.

Recently I'm loving Eliza.

BinnynClued · 03/09/2021 00:02

@elouera I don't, sadly! I don't know why, but to me, Belle was always going to be the middle name. Obviously open to other options though! Not fussed on the type of name really, we just don't want something "too out there" OR too plain, I'm not fussy at all, honest! I find a lot of names now too American, for example Rayleigh and shayleigh, shardonya...

Merryn and Rosie are lovely. I don't think I actually know a Rosie, considering it's a common name!
