Hello all!

I’m booked in for a C section on Friday and just wanted some thoughts on our final girls name list. Which are your favourites (and worst!) and what kind of image do they conjure up?

DD1’s name is Maggie 😊. Happy for some last minute suggestions if you can think of any with the same kind of vibe.

Robyn
Cassie (maybe Cassia on BC but DP isn’t so sure)
Rosa
Flora
Sylvie
Alma (DP not so sure on this one, but says he could be persuaded! He says it’s a bit too Coronation St, but I think it’s got a beautiful sound, looks lovely written)

Flora is nice.

Worryworry887 · 29/03/2022 20:21

Rosa is lovely, my fav. Flora also nice but reminds me of butter? Cassie is ok, I know someone called Cassandra which I think is much nicer

BlueFlavour · 29/03/2022 20:24

Rosa is my favourite. Beautiful name.

Salvia89 · 29/03/2022 20:25

Thanks all!

Bit of a mixed bag as expected but glad the general consensus is positive! It’s nice to get the uncensored view of internet strangers. We’ve not shared the names with anyone we know as don’t want their views shaping our choices.

Thanks for all the suggestions! Lots that one of us have liked but not the other, but nothing jumping out that we’ve not considered before. I feel like I’ve considered every name under the sun Grin

Oh and I’m not keen on Casandra.. feels a bit middle aged to me

Robyn is lovely. I’m also due a baby girl any day now and we have settled (I think ) on Lyla. Best of luck it’s a hard decision x

Zara
Meredith
Erica
Natalie
Zoe
Faye
Alicia
Saskia

BungleandGeorge · 29/03/2022 20:29

I like Alma, I think it’s up and coming as I know 2.
I like all your choices though

Salvia89 · 29/03/2022 20:34

Yes, I have a feeling that in 5 years Alma will join the ranks of Ivy and Ada etc

Sylvie or Flora are both lovely.

Mountainbear · 29/03/2022 20:54

Nice list.

Robyn - prefer it spelt Robin. I really want to like it, but it feels slightly dated to me, a bit like Amber or Heather.
Cassie - really like, but only as nn for Cassia / Cassandra
Rosa - like. I know a couple of little ones. Prefer the simplicity of Rose.
Flora - dislike. Love Fleur and Fern. Florence is also nice.
Sylvie - ok, love Sylvia
Alma - beautiful

WeasilyPleased · 30/03/2022 01:44

All lovely names. You cantgo wrong but I like Cassia best.

Mumofgirls2017 · 30/03/2022 09:07

Favourite is Flora, or Cassie/Cassia

But think Sylvie or Alma go best with Maggie

Montague22 · 30/03/2022 09:13

Robyn- quite like it
Cassie (maybe Cassia on BC but DP isn’t so sure)

  • unique, had a pet named this. Nit beautiful though.
Rosa- gorgeous Flora- really like it Sylvie- really like it- can imagine it growing in popularity Alma- European or hipster

I had a crazy pregnancy dream last night that because the baby was born on April Fools Day it came out a boy, but the rule was that if a baby came out the opposite sex you had to use the closest names to your chosen list.. so we had to choose from:

Robyn - Robin
Cassie - Caspian
Rosa - Ross
Flora - Florian
Sylvie - Sylvester
Alma - Alan

Pahahahha!!! Some are definitely better than others. Unfortunately my alarm went off before we could choose Grin

Really like them all except for Flora and Alma

20viona · 30/03/2022 09:54

What about Alba instead of alma?

Leeloo1233 · 30/03/2022 11:12

Alma is super popular in Scandinavia, I know of 4 baby Alma's born to Swedish, Danish and Finnish parents this year alone. It's definitely making a huge comeback in Europe

ICrunchCrispsNotNumbers · 30/03/2022 16:24

Ohh, on second thoughts, I do love Rosa! ❤️

SoupDragon · 30/03/2022 16:29

Robyn is the only one I really dislike.

Depoisthedevil · 30/03/2022 19:38

I like the name Cassie best and I think it goes well with Maggie.

estoybien · 30/03/2022 21:22

Cassie is definitely my favourite from your list. Cassia is even better.
