Juno
Saffron
Sadie
Alix
Maeve
Willow
Sorrel
Jane (short and simple - needs reviving)

Your choice, obviously, so just saying:
Drew is a boy's name in Scotland. And it's the second syllable of Andrew, a name that literally means 'manly'.

Quinn - too boyish for me Drew - a NN for Andrew. Robyn - it's ok, but very outdated. Orla - same as above.
ThatshallotBaby · 06/04/2022 10:23

Really like Quinn.
What about Wren or Scout?

I like Quinn best. Orla is ok.

I love your names, especially Quinn and Drew, fabulous!

Marnie
Imogen

Orla is really nice. I don't like the others much. Quinn bordering on Quim perhaps...

deadlanguage · 06/04/2022 12:04

I like Orla best out of your choices. Definitely not Drew, it’s a male name. Not too keen on Quinn or Robyn either but they’re not terrible. What about Petra, Deanna, Ciara?

LittlemissMama67 · 06/04/2022 12:09

Elowen
Elora
Mabel

But I will say Orla is my favourite and it’s actually the name we will be using too if baby #3 is a girl, find out in 3 days 😬

quarantandrums · 06/04/2022 12:45

Definitely not Drew or Quinn, they're surnamey and masculine. Orla is really really nice. Robyn is ok but quite overused.

GoodSoup · 06/04/2022 12:47

I love Quinn for a girl. So uncommon! Really like Orla but it’s very popular.

Don’t like Robyn at all.

ST1721 · 06/04/2022 17:30

Thank you for your comments.

So indecisive... we have thrown Lydia and Jorgie into the mix now 🙈

deadlanguage · 06/04/2022 17:45

I love Lydia! Definitely go for that. Jorgie will be spelt wrongly by everyone.

StephMum92 · 06/04/2022 17:49

I love Jorgie, I wanted it for my DD but partner wasn't keen. We went for Millie which I love now, especially as it never seems to be on the lists of names people suggest on MN which hopefully means it's not too common. I love Orla and Quinn as well!

SquigglePigs · 06/04/2022 18:11

I love Lydia and Robyn. I know a toddler Robyn so don't see it as outdated like some have said. Orla is quite nice too. Sorry, I don't like your other ones.

SquigglePigs · 06/04/2022 18:13

Oh, I missed Jorgie. That's sweet but it feels like it should be a nickname for Jorja/Georgia or Georgina rather than a name on is own.

Amdone123 · 06/04/2022 18:16

I love Lydia. I like Verity, too, which is in the same vein. I love Georgia, not sure about Jorgie. From your list, I like Quinn, Orla. Never heard of Drew for a girl, but why not ?

Amdone123 · 06/04/2022 18:17

I dislike Robyn.

Luredbyapomegranate · 06/04/2022 20:53

Robin (but spelt like that) is great
Georgia nn Georgie (spelt like that) is very nice
Lydia is nice
Orla is OK

Jorgie is just fucking silly, Drew is a boys name / nn for Andrew, Quinn is silly and sounds like Quim - she’s going to have to live with this name OP.

Lois, Rowan, Ffion, Seren, Stella,Thora, Liv, Annis, Aster, Astra, Cassia, Serena, Louisa, Luella, Arran, Might all be alternatives

KayEmAy · 11/04/2022 14:50

I love Quinn and Drew! Based on your list, a few others you may like -

Raven
Gia
Sloane
Rory
Reese
Lennon
Paige
Shae
Collins
Thea
Bay
Demi
Harlow

Viviennemary · 11/04/2022 14:53

Surely Quin and Drew are boys ames. Both awful. Not personally keen on Orla. Robyn isnt too bad.

Ihavehadenoughalready · 11/04/2022 20:01

Of your choices, I like Robin and Lydia best.

How about Livia? Nickname Liv or Livvie.

I don't like Orla at all. I think it's hard to say.

PurBal · 11/04/2022 20:08

Robyn is my favourite. Please don’t use Quinn, it’s too close to quim for my taste and every time I meet a Quinn it makes me cringe, I think of the c bomb and have to stop myself from grimacing. I doubt I’m alone.
