These are all really beautiful names but mine would probably be Mabel as I just love that name so much.

2nd very strong contender would be Emma, also gorgeous name!!!

Oi my DP is very well behaved I'll have you know 🤣. She's a friend of a friends something. Makes a lot of moolah but I don't get why, once did bar work at a strip club and it was the unsexiest stuff I'd ever seen😂

@KirstenBlest thanks I've got a soft spot for Elizabeth but worried ppl thought it was old fashioned. Plus don't want anyone thinking i named her after the Queen. Beautiful old name.

Elodie or Saskia

bluechameleon · 20/03/2023 17:02

I like lots of these. Helena, Emma, Caroline, Susannah, Eliza, Clara, Briony. If there were no other considerations (names of close family, surname, initials of siblings etc) I'd pick Clara. In reality I'd pick Susannah because all others would be ruled out for one reason or another.

Paturday · 20/03/2023 17:04

Ooooh most of those were on our list, but DD’s name is not on your list.

I’d pick Callista or Briony!

ourflagmeansdeath · 20/03/2023 17:05

Also want to say I like/loved them all apart from Caroline, Sasha, Saskia, Lola and Callista. And I like Lana but hate the backwards spelling obviously so there's that. All your other names are beautiful imo!

LulooLemon · 20/03/2023 17:06

What a lovely list of names. One of these:

🌸 Helena 🌸 Clara 🌸 Juliet 🌸 Saskia 🌸 Miriam 🌸 Rose

MsSquiz · 20/03/2023 17:09

We know a lot of little girls with many of those names, but Jessica, Lily and Alice were all on our list for both our DD's so I'd probably choose one of them

KirstenBlest · 20/03/2023 17:10

I don't think you can go wrong with Elizabeth @blastedbuttons , but I'd pick a diminutive unless you like Liz.
Elizabeth isn't particularly associated with one person, so I don't think many will think EIIR.

PurpleAirGuitar · 20/03/2023 17:10

I like a lot of names on this list (are you me?) but if I could only choose one I think it would be Emma (with Alice a very close second, and it might work better with your surname than mine).

If you want middle name suggestions too from your list:

Emma Caroline
Emma Louise
Emma Josephine
Alice Isobel
Alice Lucy
Alice Eve

MadameOvary81 · 20/03/2023 17:13

Clara (I'd have a Klara though, just to be awkward.) :)

I do like Mabel, too.

yikesanotherbooboo · 20/03/2023 17:13

Helena
Susannah
Caroline
Miriam
But I quite like
Isobel
Clara
Emma
Maria
Tess
Maya

SBAM · 20/03/2023 17:14

I’d pick Suzannah Louise.
In my opinion it’s lovely, doesn’t sound dated to my ear but it’s currently too popular and gives cute diminutive options - Suz, Suzie, Zanna, Anna, or she could go by Louise or Lou if she prefers when she’s older.

LadyEloise1 · 20/03/2023 17:16

Elodie
Caroline
Holly
Alice
Juliet
Saskia
Anna
Rosie

ELOISE

junebirthdaygirl · 20/03/2023 18:20

It would be Mabel for me

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 20/03/2023 19:17

Jessica.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 20/03/2023 19:18

Saskia.

mamatoTails · 20/03/2023 19:19

Saskia

mintich · 20/03/2023 19:20

Eliza

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 20/03/2023 19:20

I definitely would be "imagining it" because It'd have to be the immaculate conception at the moment. 😂
