Hi

We have a little boy and are expecting a girl shortly. We have had 5 losses and some of my favourite names are now linked to sad time.

My husband and I can’t agree on anything! Suggestions please? I’m worried some of my ideas are too common or not full names and therefore may be unpopular once the child is an adult!

Thanks

Fern
Ruth
Jenny
Alice
Kitty
Cora
Niamh
Eliza
Indy
Isadora
Ren
Izzy
Eleanor

I like Jenny/Jennifer from list.

Zoe is a great suggestion as it means life. Flora is cool too.

In the same vibe as your list I like Jane and Marianne.

I love Ruth nickname Ru
Fern is gorgeous and love Eleanor but I would call her nelly!

Alice and Eliza are my favourites.

I like Ruth, Jenny, Alice and Eliza from your list.

Second the idea of "Zoe" (life) - or maybe Lucy (light) or Iris (rainbow)?

Thanks ladies I’m really loving some of these suggestions

Also love kitty but would have Catherine on birth cerificate

Fern - with Ferne and Fearne might be more popular than it seems. I like the Fern spelling but not the others
Ruth - like
Jenny - Jennifer is nice
Alice - classic but not unusual
Kitty - like
Cora - not keen but Cara is nice
Niamh - don't like the Neev (mis)pronunciation but otherwise nice. Too similar to Eve and the Eva/Ava/Ivy type names
Eliza - not keen
Indy - no
Isadora - not keen. Another Izzy
Ren - awful
Izzy - no
Eleanor - classic but I'm not keen. yet another Ellie

I love Cora, Alice and Elenor (pn Ellen-Na) from your list

Fern - OK
Ruth - OK
Jenny - dislike
Alice - Love
Kitty - Love
Cora - dislike
Niamh - Ok
Eliza - OK
Indy - isn't this a boy's name?
Isadora - a bit much for me
Ren - don't you mean 'Wren', after the bird?
Izzy - dislike.
Eleanor -like

I like Alice, Cora, Eliza, and Eleanor

I’m struggling with girls names as well, I like most of your list especially Alice and Eliza. I wouldn’t worry too much about popularity, you could name her Spudella and inevitably bump into another Spudella 3 days later, it’s just Sod’s law.

This made me laugh!
