No girl names I love!

Olivetree45 · 17/09/2023 09:01

Expecting a baby girl and REALLY struggling to find a girls name, ive spent countless hours searching through forums, lists etc and seem to be able to find nothing I Iove! I work in a school which discounts lots of names straight away as they remind to much of those children.

Partner likes Ruby which seems okay but I dont really love it, I had also considered giving my middle name but its Rebecca amd I think Ruby Rebecca is much too R and B heavy! Although im not dead set on the middle name if I found something else lovely instead. Surname will start with m and sounds abit like mouse.

I found my first daughters name so easy I wasnt prepared to struggle so much! Her name is Madison which I know gets hate on here but 7 years on I still love it.

Anyone have any suggestions for either middle names that might help me love Ruby or other names I might like?

I'm not too keen on Ruby, I can't really say why,

Names that are not as popular (just so you may not have already came across them which I think work well)

Maddison and Sutton
Maddison and Everly
Maddison and Raine
Maddison and Callista (nn Callie)
Maddison and Callie
Maddison and Sadie
Maddison and Blair

Slightly more popular suggestions
Maddison and Brooke
Maddison and Summer
Maddison and Felicity
Maddison and Beatrice
Maddison and Elodie
Maddison and Ottillie (Ottie or Tillie as nn)

Nothing wrong with Ruby Rebecca. The names will rarely be said together. How does Ruby work with the surname?

I actually think Madison goes well with a vast amount of styles / types of names. Can you narrow it down a bit? Are you looking for classic or modern (similar ilk of Madison) or alternative modern?

Madison and Kirsten
