I love them all

[Stressymcstress]

First baby due soon.
We don’t know what we’re having, but have a boys name picked out.

Girls names we do like:
Mirran
Ava
Grace
Mairead


Opinions?

Mirren is beautiful.
Ava is lovely but too popular.
I've never liked Grace. It just seems dull.
Mairead looks very pretty but I think I have been pronouncing it wrongly as I would have said muh - RAID (which I do like but appears to be incorrect 😳).
I would definitely pick Mirren though.

Mirren's lovely and would be my pick.
Ava is beautiful too but very trendy now (most will be under 20, so you need to consider if you care it might date her in future?).
Grace is a classic but much too overused currently for my taste (as a middle name too which makes it seem more ubiquitous).
Sorry, not very keen on the sound of Mairead.

Ava Grace or Mirren Grace
Grace is a good choice for a middle name!

[speakout]

I think all the names are beautiful, but when I had my babies I couldn't imagine choosing a name for them before they were born.
Even tiny babies have their own personalities, so we had a "short list" of names that we liked, and once we met out little newborns the decision for a name became crystal clear.
In both cases one name just suddenly became obvious as being perfect- it took a few days, but in the end an easy choice.
You have 3 weeks in the UK to register a birth and decide a name.
If you are not sure then waiting until you meet your baby may be an option. You don't need to decide before the birth.
