Girls names - help needed as baby is already here!

[Sunshinehouse]

Hi there
Would love love love input and help!
My second D was born last Thursday and my husband and I are getting no where with names. I like strong, masculine female names, he likes more traditional girly names.

My favourite names: Dillon, Sidney, Margot, Riley, Rafa. His favourite names Isabella, Emilia, Katherine

We had agreed on Frances, Robyn, Leonie and potentially Emilia, but we know a few Emmes already and that means that nickname is taken. Other names I liked Riley, River, Leila, Suki, Sylvie, Adeline, Leila, Lila, Orla, and Margot, but DH not keen on many of these.

I wanted something that could be strong and powerful, I’m an Alex and love having a unisex name, and added complication is that DD2 looks like my father in law and I feel she needs a strong name to pull off her strong features!

All help welcome, really need to decide and update people asap

Adeline?

Augusta

Theodora or Teddy for short
Edwina
Katharine
Elizabeth
Stephanie
Florence
Rory
Marianne
Eleanor
Evelyn

I named my girl Edith, it wasn’t on our list it clicked when she was about a week old. I found it when searching girl names during a 3am feed.

Others that I had picked out but didn’t use, Imogen, Rosie, Genevieve, hazel, clementine and Lucy. We tried each of them and they didn’t feel right.

Have you named her yet?

What is your eldest called?

My suggestions are:

Frederica / Freddie
Beatrice / Bea
Phillipa / Pippa
Florence / Flo

Good luck xx

@Emily6457 we have! We went for Frances Ophelia in the end. Nearly settled on Madeline, Oriana or Eva, but went back to Frances as it felt like the name we were both happiest with. Thank you everyone for your suggestions and help, it was very useful.

DD1 is Joanie so we have Frankie and Joanie/Frances and Joanie (doesn’t work as well but ho hum)

Lovely names! Congratulations x

Congratulations xx Such a beautiful name

Thank you both, that’s very kind of you to say

Gorgeous, beautiful name 🥰 many congratulations!

Gorgeous!!

Most of your names are awful, Sylvie is OK. I like the names on your DH's list.

Freya is pretty strong given the origins

Rafa is short for Raphaella (I work with one), which would appear to tick both yours and your husband's boxes.

@user1493494961 what an unhelpful and not particularly constructive or nice thing to say. Sorry you’re having a bad day but maybe try to ensure you’re adding to the dialogue and not just spreading negativity with your comments on here or IRL.

Beautiful names

Such a pretty name! I am very biased as my middle name is Frances! It’s lovely

Martha?
Astrid?

Love Robyn :)

What we did was write 5 each.( without the other seeing) Each could then reject 3 each from the others list. Of the 4 left you write them in order (so you can't see the other persons) and the ones that coincide is the one. You can change the numbers to suit.

Lol just realised this thread is a year old! What was the decision?
