If you had a baby girl tomorrow you’d call her..

I’m having a little girl next week!!! And she still doesn’t have a 100% name.

What names would you use?

LYRA.
Lyra Belacqua is my favourite ever literary character and I’m gutted we were too scared to use it for our DD.

Marnie
Daisy
Delilah

I have a whole fat list of girls baby names I love. I've got to use quite a few - I have five daughters and I'm expecting another girl in a month so I can use another! No boys - don't quite know how I only managed to have girls. But anyway, here are my favourites.

Ada, Aria/Arya, Ava, Callie, Cara, Carrie, Cassie, Esme, Hazel, Jade, Jasmine, Leah, Lila, Lillian, Lily-May, Lizzie, Lynette, Mae, Macy, Mara, Maya, Mia-Rose, Summer, Sylvia, Willow, Zoe-Rose

Yes! This is exactly the same for me I never had a daughter, but I like to imagine if I had she would have been as feisty and incredible as my favourite character.

Nora or Étain or Saedbh. I already have a Maedbh. Obviously I'm in Ireland.

Mabel Darcy Clementine

Esther.

Edith or Evelyn
I had 2 boys. They were my unused girl names

Claudia.

@EmmaOvary - I adore Cassiopeia! I've never met one in RL but it was my favourite girls name as a child and I always wanted to use it if I have a daughter (but don't know I'd be brave enough now I'm older, in case she hated it). Do you like your name?

@IamnotwhouthinkIam I like it now. I hated having a 'different' name as a kid but everyone has always asked about it and admired it and as an adult I can appreciate having an unusual name as a good thing. I go by Cassie, though, it's hard to spell! I think your daughter would probably abbreviate it if you went with that.
