Young first time mum name ideas

[StrawberrySkies]

i'm 21 and expecting my first daughter, here are some of the names we have in mind. please let me know your opinions on all and if you have any suggestions

Gracie
Leighton
Adelaide (Addie)
Eloise
Cressida
Annabelle
Mabel

i'm finding it hard to choose just one, do any of these names stand out to you?

Leighton conjours up images of a teenage boy in a hoodie loitering in a park.

Gracie is too twee for me, but I'm old & Im not keen on diminutives as full names - Grace is nice

Really like the others.
Cressida is pretty & I haven't met one yet.

She did indeed.

Message received loud and clear!

Leighton? Just no. It's a masculine name and not a particularly outstanding one either.

Camille is lovely as is Eloise. Annabelle is pretty and has good nickname derivations.

Adelaide and Cressida are lovely!

If its so sensitive of a subject maybe don't partake in it? You're telling me no one has previously raised an eyebrow at the name 'Tiger'?

Don't know where you are based @StrawberrySkies but Leyton is a suburb in London if that makes a difference.
I like your other choices.
Annabel, Grace - timeless, there will probably be a couple of others around. Both my DDs (teens) have one of each in their year.
Mabel is more unusual but I know a couple, I feel like it's getting more popular.
Don't know any Cressidas, but agree it sounds posh. Also don't know any Adelaide's.
I know an Eloise and think it's pretty and quite unusual.
I'd probably choose Mabel from your selection.

Look I suffer mental health issues so I don't appreciate you keep digging me out ok ...please leave me alone and do what the post intends and just stop trying to goad me leave me alone !!

I like Eloise and Mabel the most from that list ❤️

I don't like Leighton the others are nice names but Grace would be better than Gracie you could always call her Gracie but put Grace on her birth certificate

@BodyKeepingScore , the poster has posted since that post and would like to be left alone.

Not Leighton or Adelaide.

I know a young Cressida, nn Cressie which I find so cute.

Annabelle and Cressida are my favourites. They are classy and can be shortened in a few ways too.

Congratulations OP!
here are my honest opinions and some suggestions:
Gracie- cute but I think I prefer Grace with the nn Gracie
Leighton- tacky in my opinion (sorry)
Adelaide (Addie)- love
Eloise- love
Cressida- reminds me of cress…
Annabelle- gorgeous
Mabel- gorgeous

a few more ideas:
Daphne
Aurora
Tillie
Tabitha
Rosie
Daisy
Jasmin
Sofia
Georgia
Charlotte
Ada
Francesca
Ivy
Olivia
Willow
Freya
Marley
Bethany
Hallie
Evie

How rude are you just leave me along its getting me down and its effecting my mental health I've already said that but you just keep going go on

@Nicetobenice7 how am I keeping going on and on? I made one comment. I don't like the names you suggested. Neither did some other posters. I don't expect everyone to like the names I've chosen for my children either. Saying it's affecting your mental health is extreme and perhaps the internet isn't for you if someone not liking names you like is enough to cause your mental health to deteriorate

@Nicetobenice7

It's different posters commenting all with the same opinion on your "names".

With respect, if you can't take criticism don't post.

Nicetobenice7 you might get a few more comments from anyone who has not seen your subsequent posts. Try not to take it personally although it can be hard not to. Most names don't appeal to everyone and if everyone likes their own name that's what matters most.

Cressida I really like, it’s unusual but not obscure.

Adelaide and Annabel are very nice

If you call her Eloise she’ll like be one of many Ella/Ellies, nice though it is

Grace is nice but very overdone, but call her Grace nn Gracie if you do use it

Maybel is too twee for me, but it’s ok

Leighton is really awful and will do her no favours so don’t use that

Just to be clear I have absolutely no problem with ppl not likening my names of choice but I do have a problem with ppl being rude and going out of there way to be mean …there is a saying if you have nothing nice to say …say nothing at all …I don’t expect to come on here and have mean girl tactics thrown at me …and for the record about my mental health and saying maybe this is not the place for me who are you to tell me that …I’ve had some lovely feed back on here nice ppl I’m now sitting here so upset at in my opinion being bullied ..you can say things without being mean I feel sick to the stomach that ppl are actually more interested in hitting me with nasty comment than doing what op wanted which was about baby names ..I’m really upset now and I hope that for those of you that got me there are happy well done you …I feel like shit

Nicetobenice7, I'd Hide the thread.

Thankyou appreciate your concern

Leighton is a boy's name around here hyphenated to give it a young younique twist.
The rest are lovely, good luck!
