Flora or Abigail or ?

After being utterly convinced I was carrying a boy, it has just been confirmed that it is actually a girl Grin Whilst we were pretty set on a boy name, we are really struggling to agree on any girl names mainly because DH rejects them all...

Our top two names so far are Flora or Abigail (but I don't love Abi). Other names on our maybe list less are Isla, Olivia, Elizabeth, Charlotte and Eve.

Some of the names I like that DH has rejected are Maisie, Mabel, Clara and Martha.

Any thoughts on Flora / Abigail or any other suggestions are much appreciated!

Arrietty, from the Borrowers came up on here recently, it’s lovely.
similar vibe to your chosen names:
Verity
Felicity
Evangeline
Congratulations!

These are on my list too, loved Arietty for my first but couldn't convince DH sadly. It's still on the list DC2.

@whattonamethatbaby Love Flora - would be a contender for me but close friend used it for their baby so it's out for me now unfortunately. How about:

Fern
Florence
Edith
Sylvie
Enid
Margo / Margot
Matilda
Harriet

Flora is lovely. Abigail isn't

I like Abigail, but Abi is pretty inevitable.

Flora spreads easily. Who lumps a dc with that risk..

What are you talking about?

Aww I love Mabel, it's sad your husband dislikes. But of the two, Abigail for sure!! Flora will always be the butter but I do love Florence.

Same with my husband! I can’t get Mabel past him either! I hope yours changes his mind and realises it’s lovely ☺️
