Girl’s names dilemma

[Lunalolou]

We’re expecting a baby girl any day now and can’t decide on a name. I’m getting a bit stressed about it as we really struggled to decide on a name for our DS when he was born. We had a shortlist but none of them felt right when he was born and he ended up nameless for several days before being called something else entirely (Isaac). I don’t want to go through that stress again if possible! What’s everyone’s opinions of the following names (or other possible suggestions):

Phoebe
Hazel
Daisy
Autumn
Mia
Emilia

At the moment we’re leaning towards Phoebe or Hazel. Earlier in the pregnancy I was really set on either Emilia or Mia, but I’ve been put off by how “popular” they appear to be when looking online (although I have never met any in real life!)

Thanks everyone :)

Issac and Hazel goes fab!

Phoebe or Hazel would be my choice. They are great names that suit a baby and an adult. When choosing names I always think of would I like to introduce myself as that name? I imagined introducing myself as both of my dd's names while pregnant.

Emilia is extremely popular. I was picking my daughter up from dance practice and every other parent in front was picking up and Amelia or an Emilia. I'm not saying they are bad names, they are beautiful names, but a few parents were huffing over how popular it is and how they wish they'd chosen a less popular name.

I dont like Daisy or Autumn, the others sound good. If you don’t want a too popular name, then Hazel or Phoebe.

Hazel. It was my mum’s name ❤️

Love Autumn
Dislike Daisy a lot
The others are ok

I like Hazel the best from your list, it's a lovely name and goes well with Isaac. Autumn is also nice. Really dislike Phoebe personally. Mia just seems a bit boring and I'm never sure if it's Mee-a or My-a.

Some other suggestions:
Heather
Emmeline
Hannah
Jasmine
Catherine
April
Meredith
Lucy

Hazel is my favourite name and one that will be on my own list, Isaac & Hazel sound lovely together also.

Thanks everyone! I do really like Hazel but noticed on some other threads people said it was quite old-fashioned or made people think of a middle-aged or old lady. I went to uni with a girl called Hazel and she’s the only one I’ve known so I don’t have that perception but not sure if the majority of people would do?

Autumn would be a strange choice for a July baby.
Phoebe and Hazel are both lovely.

I know three Hazels - aged late 30s, early 30s, and early 20s. I certainly wouldn't be surprised to meet a baby Hazel. In fact I think it's quite a timeless name. It certainly doesn't date in my mind to the 80s like so many other names popular in that era.

I definitely don't think 'old lady' (but seems old lady/men names are all the rage these days anyway!)

I love the sound of Phoebe Autumn.

Same for me, my sister's name is Hazel (she is only 29) so I have never considered it to be an old lady's name - I have never met another except one girl at our school who was even younger than my sister.

My DP has said it's an old lady's name but I can't see it. :) I really like it.

Hazel is great. Not over used and I really like the 'z' sound in the middle. There are a million Mia/Phoebe's because they are pretty names.
I like Daisy. Autumn less so and not for a summer baby.
Emilia is rather lovely too.

I am biased as my 2yr old is a Hazel, so think it is the nicest name on your list - we don’t know of any other young Hazel’s (currently) - old fashioned names are pretty popular what with Elsie, Ada etc so don’t think that’s a bad thing tbh

I don't like Hazel, at all.
Phoebe is ok, bit dated.
Of all your names,

Posted too soon....I love Emilia.
Don't stress - she'll be given a name, one way or another. My ds (35 now), didn't have a name for 5 days. We went back n forth so much, it was funny.

Love Daisy and Hazel, very sweet and they will grow well with the child.
Other ideas:
Olive
Perdie
Lottie
Mercy
Joy
Tulah
Enela
Bonita
Lola

I like Daisy and Autumn although I probably would use Summer at the moment if I was going for a season!

Don't like Daisy - cute on a toddler but l think can be outgrown.
Not a fan of Aufumn.
Like Phoebe and Hazel.

I love Daisy, but also Hazel 🥰

My 5 year old niece is called Hazel.
it’s lovely, I like Phoebe too.

Really like Hazel and don’t see it as old-fashioned at all. I also have an Isaac and think Hazel goes lovely with it. Congratulations!

My daughter is Charlotte which is very flexible as it could be shortened to Charlie, Lottie etc.

Mine is always Charlotte though!

I know 2 Hazel's, both in their 50s. One is very fun, the other is very stuffy. The name makes me think of the latter.

I love, love, love Isaac and Hazel.

Second choice Isaac and Phoebe.

But Isaac and Hazel is a gorgeous combination, with the Z sound in both.
Hazel is an underused gem of a name imo.
