I’m pregnant and don’t know the gender yet - I’m pretty set on a boys name but having trouble with girls names!

I already have one beautiful girl called Molly 🥰

please help shorten my list!

Cora
Faye
Lilah
Willow
Pippa - would use as a stand alone as I don’t like Phillipa
Ivy
Emma
Rosa
Sophie
Eloise
Eve
Cara
Brooke
Elin
Tabitha

I only really like Emma, Sophie and Cara from that list. Rosa and Ivy are alright too.

WinniePig · 18/07/2023 19:37

Emma and Sophie are my faves from your list.

Dislike Ivy as I don’t like the plant!

Coronationstation · 18/07/2023 19:38

Molly and Cora is lovely, or Molly and Clara.
Molly and Emma are classics together, as is Molly and Tabitha.
I’m not a massive fan of your other options, names like Brooke don’t seem to go with Molly IMO.
Molly and Martha
Molly and Olivia
Molly and Poppy
Molly and Matilda
Molly and Heidi
Molly and Kate
Molly and Anna
Molly and Alice

I like Eve, Elin and Tabitha best from those. Rosa and Cara are nice too.

FoodFann · 18/07/2023 19:43

My faves are:
Emma
Rosa
Sophie
Eloise
Tabitha

Lilah, Willow, Eloise, Tabitha, and Emma would go well with Molly.

Molly and Ivy sounds too close to Holly and Ivy.

Love Emma, Rosa, Sophie, Eloise and Tabitha. Also like Brooke, Ivy, Pippa, Willow. Overall very nice list and I don't understand why such divisive opinions.
