Were stuck on girl names basically.
We have a short list, which Ill be honest and say isnt very short!
We like names like Ava, Jessica, Isla and Sophie but cannot decide.
Middle name is possibly going to be Grace although this isnt confirmed as yet.
Popularity doesnt bother us as long as it is a name we like and think suits baby when she is here.

Are there any names out of these that people prefer or any others that people would suggest that we may have overlooked?
We think (hope) that once we see her we will just know but are trying to keep options open.

All your names are lovely. I particularly like Ava and Isla. Do you like Esme? Freya? Olivia?
I agree though that when you see her, you'll know.

groovergirl · 06/11/2021 17:53

Jessamine, Avenel, Paloma, Vanessa, Erin, Seraphine, Josephine ...

You're right, though -- you'll know the name when you meet your baby.

I like Sophie Grace and Ava Grace.

Maybe Anna Grace?
Anna is so lovely but underused.

my DD is Elizabeth Grace, one of her cousins is Sophia Alice.

We bought a name book and went through it, it helped us naming DS1, saw a name we never had on the radar, mentioned it to DH, he loved it, mentioned it to parents they also loved it, DS1 is 20 now, his name really suits him, .I still love it, although it is still fairly unusual in the UK, more popular in the US.

I really like Isla, but Ava and Isla are just so massively popular and overused. Especially with Grace which is one of the default middle names for girls currently. Sorry.

Jessica is nice and I don’t hear it as much. Thanks

DukkaDukka · 07/11/2021 08:14

I don’t know where the ‘thanks’ came from. 🤣
