I'm really stuck for some girls names, my favourites are below but I can't use them (reasons also listed next to it). Anything similar which you can think of? 🥰

Winnie (surname is similar to Walker, we think Winnie Walker sounds a little odd)

Isabella/Izzy (Deceased sisters name, thinking of having as a middle name in her honour. She passed when I was very young).

Charlotte/Lottie (My dads ex wife's name!)

Daphne (A joke name in DP family)

Olivia (DP is called Oliver, we think too similar)

I like Cindy and Maisy but DP is not keen on the shortness of them.

Please help, any names we like seem to be a no go. We prefer the older more traditional longer names that can be shortened to something equally as sweet.

Winnie - Billie?
Isabella - yes as a middle name
Charlotte/Lottie - no because of connection
Daphne (A joke name in DP family) - not if it's a joke
Olivia - too similar and overused
Cindy and Maisie - short is something like Ann or Kim.

Cindy (Isabella) Walker is long enough and I think it sounds nice

@FuckoffeeBeforeCoffee nope, not kidding 🤣 we have tried the name generator by giving our preferences and Madeline, along with everything too similar comes up! I really like Adelaide but thinking that Addy sounds too similar to Maddie 😅 x

I didn’t name my DD after my deceased aunt and my alive sister despite those names being my favourite. I still question myself 8 years on if I should have had to. My aunt had an unfortunate end of her life which made me feel like I am passing that on to my DD should I have named her after her. Or maybe I am just superstitious

We had a few longer names on our list last time:
Penelope
Rosanna
Annabelle/a
Florence
Evelyn
Eloise
Gabriella

My kids have pretty 'common' names so popularity never put me off

Usernamesonly · 13/02/2023 20:17

@FlutterbButterfly I LOVE the name Odette! Haven't been able to persuade my partner though!x
