So far i have got the following....

Robyn
Rose
Holly

and erm, thats it

Could you give me your opinions on these names and maybe suggest some more for me, i'm a bit stuck and OH isn't being very helpful! We like traditional names, preferably one that can't be shortened.

They are nice names. Other 'H' flower names are Hazel and Heather.

oooh Violets lovely, i hadn't thought of that, what kind of person do you imagine when you think of the name Robyn / Robin? I mentioned to my mum that it was a front-runner and she went a bit quiet

I imagine someone very driven and ambitious.

belgo · 03/03/2008 14:11

I've know two girls called Robin.

Rosa is nice.

Rosa is nice, but it would rhyme with her surname, it would have to be either Rose or Rosie i think.

oh, and the middle name would be either Kathryn or Susannah ( or possibly both )

Grace is nice.
And Jemima
Maya? (pronounced 'mya')

TheBestMum · 03/03/2008 14:25

I like Pheobe too

Mung · 03/03/2008 14:25

The names you have are very pretty. Why not go with them? If your list gets too long, you wont be able to decide. I like Ruby, thats quite traditional too.

love Ruby OH hates it. Its weird, i always thought it would be so easy to pick a girls name. We agreed on the boys name we wanted straight away (Harry) weird...

Rose Kathryn
Rose Susannah
Rose Elizabeth (random name but i've always loved it, just think its too long to have as a first name)

Rarebreed, I had the same problem...
We agreed on a boys name straight away for 1st pregnancy and didn't have a girls name. Fortunately, Milo came along.
2nd pregnancy we agreed on a girls name and didn't have a boys name. Fortunately, Esmé came along!

Perhaps its a sign that you are having a boy

Mung i'm secretly convinced i'm having a boy. Have told OH and he is convinced too. I haven't even been tempted to look at girly things in Mothercare!

Give up on the girls names then

i'm hoping that if they find girly bits on the 4D scan i'll have enough time to re-adjust before she arrives

There are such lovely names around.
My little girl was nameless for 3 weeks! and we finally decided on something really unusual and everyone loves it...Not telling though!

Hello, by the way! this is my first contribution to MN.

I'm mum to a 9.5 year old boy(who had his name 5 months before he was born) and 14 month old girl. Nice to say Hi to you all.
