Completely stuck on girl names

40 replies

We are totally stuck on girl names. I seem like to like some for a period of time and then say them aloud and go off them when said with our surname; a two syllable beginning with a hard C.

We really want something less popular but quite classy sounding and known. Don't want a lifetime or spelling corrections etc. We don't want anything too long and ideally would rather it can't be shortened. Help??? :(

I could have written this thread myself. I’m finding it near impossible to find a girl name I like. Olivia and Grace are top contenders at the moment but although I don’t mind a popular name it does feel very unimaginative and a bit dull. I liked Lilah for a while but my husband isn’t keen. In short, I’m with you… girls names are tricky!

I know it's already been mentioned but Erin is my all-time favourite girl's name.

It's strong and feminine, plus easy to say and spell.

If we had ended up having a girl, Opal and Seren were also on our list. Not sure if they're you're style but thought I'd throw them out there anyway Smile

Good luck with naming your baby. It's such an exciting time x

@Rockmehardplace

Nina
Nina is really, really classy IMO and suits every stage of life- cute on a baby/small child, elegant for a woman. I also like Mara.

I’ve got a Joy. Had so many positive reactions to it. Love it ❤️ Everyone needs more Joy in their lives right now.
Oh yes, that's lovely too! If you like Nina, Joy flows so beautifully as a middle name.
