Pretty girls name ideas

Hello there,

I am expecting my first baby and I am delighted it is a little girl.
I like really pretty girly names (not that everyone will agree these names are). A few on my list currently are:

Primose
Isabelle
Belle
Daisy

What other pretty names does anyone suggest?
Or what are your opinions on the names above? I really like Primrose but don't know if it is too much/ too flowery.

Thank you for anyone who takes the time to reply :) xx

I find your suggestions a bit to frilly and Daisy in particular a little twee and hard to imagine on a grown woman. How about -

Leila / Layla
Lara
Luna
Lucy
Fleur
Florence
Rosa / Rose
Amelie
Serena
Seren
Eve
Phoebe
Maya

All those names are all quite Disney princess vibe. I think you need something which the child can suit / adapt whatever personality they are. Avoid Daisy due to the cow link.

Other ideas

Violet / Violeta - nn Letty
Arabella - Bella,
Cecelia
Saskia
Florence - Florie, Flo
Rose - Rosie
Sasha
Octavia
Adelaide - Addy

My little girl is called Tansy. It's a flower name but with a bit of 'sass'.
On our list we also had:
Cecily
Maeve
Seren
Wren
Adelaide

Flora. I would have loved to call DD this but when she was young Flora marg was still popular and this put me off (also a friend telling me that at her school there'd been a girl called Flora and her nickname was "Spreads Easily" Shock). But Flora marg isn't very popular any more as far as I know.

I like 'pretty' names too. Isabelle has become so popular so I wouldn't use it. Daisy is fine, it's a popular name so noone will think of a cow anymore.
I really don't like Belle as she will get called Bell end, I much prefer Bella.
I love primrose! I'd love to meet one. I don't think I'd quite be brave enough to use it.
Some options you might like

Aurelia (Au-ray-leah)
Aurora
Arabella
Daphne
Bluebell (belle nickname)
Seraphina
Athena

@TTCfirstbabyx

how about Rosalee

Aquamarine1029 · 17/01/2022 01:59

I love the name Dovey because of a woman named Dovey Roundtree. She was a remarkable person, so I have a soft spot for the name.

I also like Beau for a girl.

Farrah is another I love.
