Baby girls names-help-be critical !!!

[PartySuziPlease]

Second baby girl due in next few weeks and still havent decided on a name!

Please help me decide. Our surname starts with F and my first daughters name starts with F.

So far on the list we have,

Fern
Liv
Neve
Betsy
Edie

Is there any of these that are not nice/have negative connotations/bad nicknames?!

Thanks for your help xx

Love the name Liv and think it is a freestanding name..
Don’t care for Fern nor Betsy.
Do you have any other potential names?
Good luck w rest of your pregnancy.

Fern - ok
Liv - agree with the unfinished comment.
Neve - for goodness sake. Do it once, do it right. It’s Niamh.
Betsy - It sounds like you couldn’t give her a proper, grown up name.
Edie - as above.

Caroline? Caroline Franklin, Caroline Fawcett, Caroline Foster? Carrie as a nn if you really like the ee suffix.

I like Fern best.

Additional suggestions would be
Tess
Serena
Mabel
Esther

Sweatsy Betsy - that's a no. Good you've decided against it.

Edith is lovely.

Liv does sound incomplete. What about Livia and Liv for short?

Not a fan of Fern but I know many people like it.

I don’t like Edith at all, it’s frumpy. Where as Edie is cool.

Liv from that list.

Pegasussnail, I love the name Grace but feel it's a bit overdone. My husband loves it too, so strong possibility for a middle name.

Thanks for all the feedback, it's given me lots to think about!

What do people think of Violet?

Fern is the only one I like out of those. The others seem like little girl names rather than woman names.

Astrid, Hazel, Rowan, Freya, Stella?

I also like Violet. Though I get muddled about whether it's vile-et or vy-o-let. My grandmother was called it and pronounced it vee-o-let

Fern - nice name
Liv - looks strange as a stand alone band
Neve - nice name
Betsy - too cutesy. Needs to be a nickname
Edie - also too cutesy. Way too similar to Phoebe in how it sounds.

Phoebe and Fern immediately made me think of Phineas and Ferb.....

What about Harriet? NN Hattie/Harry

Edith nn Edie! I love it

I like Edith definitely not frumpy, definitely prefer it to Edie, which could look like a misspelling of Eddie, or become E-die

Violet is quite nice, but someone on here put me off by comparing it to violence on another thread.

I did think Phoebe & Fern sound lovely until it reminded me of Phinneus & Ferb.

I love Violet but like Viola even better.

Also really like Liv on your list.

And I know lots of Neve spelling girls, I know you've said it's now off the list but I don't see that spelling as an issue.

Other suggestions Sylvie or Aisling or Zoe?

I love Violet!

Betsy or Edie

@PartySuziPlease

What do people think of Violet?

Violet Grace is a lovely name!!

Violet is nice do you mine V or Vi as nicknames?

Not a fan of Violet, it feels a bit prim and proper. I don’t really like old fashioned names.

I love Edie if it’s short for Edith - that’s my favourite
Betsy very nice as long as short for Elizabeth
Niamh and Fern are also nice, and becoming popular (spell Niamh properly if you use it, but it does blur a bit with the endless Eves)
Liv is nice short for Olivia, but it is overused. It’s odd as a full name unless you are pronouncing it like the Scandinavian name (Leev)

Lois, Frances, Ffion, Hope, Constance (nn Connie), Ines, Caitlin, Catrin, Elsbeth, Beatrice (nn Bea), Mary might be alternatives

I like Violet but it’s mega popular

Jasmine?

All lovely accept Liv ( my autocorrect spelt Luv ) Liv is like live .

@BugsyDrakeTableScape I came on to suggest Harriet too 😊 Phoebe and Harriet would be lovely!

Out of your suggestions I like Fern best I think OP 😊 Violet it very pretty too 😊

I love Liv but she’d definitely have to always correct people about the Olivia thing!
