Would you be kind enough to discuss them with me?

Single parent, no family close. Baby girl expected very soon!

Names I like

Claudia
Romilly
Morgan
Hero
Wendy

All very different. Surname will be a double barrelled one, 3 syllables all up.

Please be kind as I feel pathetic having no one to help me.

Congratulations!
Lovely lovely names, claudia and romilly are my faves from the list. Romilly in particular is lush and nice options for shortening should you/she choose.

DolphinsAreEvil · 21/01/2023 17:14

Congratulations on your pregnancy. Another vote for Romilly here. I liked it for my daughter but my husband doesn’t. It’s lovely 😊

Twoinapod · 21/01/2023 17:15

I don’t think Wendy is ready for a revival yet.

Hero, although I like it, is a bit too out there, would work as a middle name though.

morgan I detest, never met a nice one.

Romilly is having a spike in popularity but that might be a good thing as it won’t seem to put there.

claudia is fine.

Claudia Hero
or
Romilly Hero

could work.

Rauha · 21/01/2023 17:15

Claudia is my favourite

yousmellnice · 21/01/2023 17:15

Morgan is lovely

Swingingonastar77 · 21/01/2023 17:15

Congratulations! Claudia is my favourite and the name I have planned if I am lucky enough to have another little one

HuntingoftheSnark · 21/01/2023 17:16

I love Claudia. Congratulations!

OldTinHat · 21/01/2023 17:17

Loving Romilly!

Congratulations.

Soozikinzii · 21/01/2023 17:18

Lovely names there . Another vote for Romilly . Hope all goes great xx

lonelymummy22 · 21/01/2023 17:18

Thank you everyone. I thought it would be nice being able to pick whatever I want but I'm finding it hard having no one to talk about it with.

Romilly I had on my list very early on and I like Milly as a nn.

I love Romilly Hero Smile congrats!

halfsiesonapotnoodle · 21/01/2023 17:19

Romilly is lovely and my favourite from your list. I don't like the 'clawed' sound in Claudia. Do you like Cassia? It's a gorgeous name.

FairytaleofNewHampshire · 21/01/2023 17:19

Congratulations.
The first three names are all lovely, you could wait until the birth and see if one in particular seems to suit her better.

BasiliskStare · 21/01/2023 17:19

For what it is worth I like Romilly the best , Hero second. Had DS been a girl at the time I would have gone for Hero or Stella (Dh wanted Georgia ) But I do think Romilly is a lovely name,

Luredbyapomegranate · 21/01/2023 17:21

Congratulations!

Claudia for me - lovely name

Romilly is nice too, but quite of the moment and less elegant

Hero - nice but hard to live with. Hera?

Morgan - the idea of it is better than the reality which is a more rugby than Arthurian sorceress - Merryn, Jocelyn, Ffion, Arran, Catrin, might be alternatives

Wendy I think is wet - Zoe maybe?

FredinBread · 21/01/2023 17:21

Love Romilly

....would like Claudia but I kniw 2 people who is say it Cloud-ia and 1 girl who was Claude- ia so the confusion puts me off

Other 3 seem a bit out there for me....im guessing Morgan and Wendy are big in Wales but may be a big stereotype sorry!

Oooh Cassia Hero would be really lovely

Yes - Cassia is really lovely

dew141 · 21/01/2023 17:22

Romilly then Claudia for me.

BrutusMcDogface · 21/01/2023 17:24

I was going to say Romilly and I see I’m not alone!

congratulations and hope all goes well 😊

Mummayaa · 21/01/2023 17:24

Congratulations! Claudia and Romilly are gorgeous both as full names and with Claude and Milly as nicknames.

lonelymummy22 · 21/01/2023 17:24

Not sure Cassia is my cup of tea.

I love Stella though!

Are Morgan and Wendy Welsh names? I'm not from Wales so no idea.

I do think Wendy isn't quite due a revival yet, agree there. I just love the film Peter Pan.

From your list I love Romilly and Morgan. Very strong names.

YukoandHiro · 21/01/2023 17:26

@Twoinapod you're behind the times - there's a Wendy at my DD's nursery and another at my eldest's school. I was a bit surprised, I must admit.

Twoinapod · 21/01/2023 17:29

@YukoandHiro i must be 😂 to me it’s in the same realm as Sandy, Terry, Tony, Keith. I’d be surprised to hear it on anyone under 40/50.
