Which girls name? Baby is due next week!

[DarlingG]

We don’t know what we’re having yet but have a boy’s name sorted. Need your help with girls names please! We’re in Scotland. What’s your opinions on these for a girl?

• Nairn
• Blaire
• Munro
• Blythe

I dislike blythe the least out of those.

I must admit that I'm not keen on any of those names, but especially Nairn: Sounds too similar to Bairn.

Nairn the Bairn.

Sorry, neither. Do you have others?

Blithe is definitely the lesser of four evils.

What about Susan?

I’m not keen on any. Blythe at a big push I think.

Munro sounds a bit like a boys name to me

Nairn - oatcakes
Blaire - looks strange with the e and I’d assume it was a boy
Munro - I would assume it was a boy
Blythe - definitely the best of the bunch. I like it.

Nairn - makes me think of the brand of oatcakes
Blaire - loud noise
Munro - Marilyn
Blythe - best name of these but what if she isn't blythe? I hope she will be but I knew someone called Joy and she was so miserable people referred to her as Joyless...

Having said all of the above if you love the name OP then that is what really matters. People will get used to it and love the child and then love the name. My DDs have unusual names that my mum disliked at first then she loved them and got used to the name.

All very harsh sounding- is that the vibe you're going for?

Blythe out of those. How about Iona?

Moira, Morag, Ella, Aileen, Skye, Heather? Blythe is nice though

Blythe is nice

The rest are awful / not girls’ names.

Isn’t Nairn a brand of oatcake?

Blythe

Nairn - oatcake
Blaire - blare?
Munro - climb every mountain
Blythe - town in Northumberland. Adding an e won't remove the association.

Dundee cake is delicious, so how about Dee?

What is your boys name, perhaps we can suggest nicer girl names from the feel of your alternative.

Biased because we called our daughter that but yes what about Iona OP? We've had lots of people say what a beautiful name it is.

Blythe is the name of a north eastern English coastal town which is not exactly a nice place

Blythe is the only name I would consider out of your list.

Nairn and Munro are definitely boy names.

Blair doesn’t need an ‘e’.

Blythe is… fine….

OP, any reason why it’s these specifically? There are SO many beautiful Scottish names which could be used for a girl..

Nairn and Munro are both awful, don't do it. Blythe is alright and I do quite like Blair actually but without the 'e.' To be fair, Blair does sound like "bleugh" which puts lots of people off but I still like it. Honestly they're not my style of names.

Tbh I don't like any for a girl - if I was limited to these options Blythe is the only one I would use - sorry

Thanks for the responses 😂

Tony Blair(e)

Marilyn Munro(e)

Nairn - there not anything remotely feminine about this name - it sounds like a block of granite to me (or an oatcake!)

Blythe - not a fan but as others have said it's the best of a bad bunch and the only one I could slightly consider.

Well, at least you have a sense of humour 😂

The DD had better have one too.
