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?

OK, I know you told me to leave you alone but I have just seen this and I am genuinely trying to be helpful and avoid you becoming upset in the future.

I think the ‘issue’ is that your list is very different to the type of names the OP has suggested, and that’s why you’ve received some comments you haven’t liked. People think they are odd suggestions and have been forthright in telling you. Some of the names on your list are very unusual, and are going to be the type of names that people either really like or really don’t like. So, it’s probably going to be safest to either not suggest them (if they have sentimental value to you) or to keep them for posters asking for unusual or maybe nature themed names. I’m sure if you’d suggested Tiger on that thread then nobody would have even blinked!

I hope this hasn’t made you any more upset. It is intended to do the opposite.

I’m sorry you feel shit at the moment- I hope your evening improves 🙂

I suffer mental health are you not getting it or do you want to keep going ?

Have you considered Elodie or Martha?

I like Adelaide. I'm always surprised it isn't more popular as it's the same period as most of the granny chic names that are in vogue currently.

Mabel and Eloise are Ok.

Leighton for a girl is just awful....

@Nicetobenice7 , I hide threads quite often. I had someone having a pop at me on another thread today but sometimes if you dare have an opinion that they don't agree with some posters become mean.

I like Mabel and Elouise the best. I am not keen on Annabelle (horror film vibes), Cressida or Gracie

@Nicetobenice7 I have a diagnosis of bipolar disorder and spent three months last year in an acute psychiatric inpatient unit. So what? We ALL have mental health. Doesn't mean everyone has to pat you on the back and pretend to like the names you suggested. Your reaction to people not liking names you chose is still extreme.

It’s not about liking or disliking it’s the mean comments I’m done talking about this for my own sake I’m a nice person and don’t need to be mean and horrible to ppl to get my kicks you have a nice evening and we’ll done you

The best thing is just not to respond back IMO @Nicetobenice7 . If someone says something you find upsetting just stay off the thread after that because often other people will jump on to say the same thing and it will just get you down more. Don't let a thread about names get you down, it's just not worth it.

OP I love Eloise, just like pretty much everyone else! I don't think it's too popular and I don't think it has to be shortened to Ella or Ellie.

Thankyou for your kindness …it’s awful when ppl are so nasty ….pp can have opinions and you can do it without being mean and nasty there really is no need to upset other I actually think ppl enjoy hurting other ppl I’m done with this thread have a nice evening

@StrawberrySkies

Congratulations!

Gracie - I would go for Grace.
Leighton - no. Not working at all.
Adelaide - fine.
Eloise - fine.
Cressida - no.
Annabelle - fine, i would go for Annabel.
Mabel - fine.

I like Mabel, Adelaide and Eloise most.

I like Annabel (prefer this spelling), Mabel and Grace (with Gracie as a nickname)

Yikes! These definitely sound like names a 'young' person would choose but, thankfully, they don't seem to fit the brief here 😊

I like Eloise, Grace and Mabel best.
I have had two nieces have babies recently and they were called Maisy and Daphne 💕

Annabelle

mabel and Eloise also nice

Have you actually read the thread from the beginning.and what I have been say ? You had to put your little dig in to didn't you "thankfully " I mean ask yourself was there really any need for it ...not how I wanted to start my day !!!! ThNks though and I really hope you feel better for it !

The names I suggested were not a wind up I have family members with the names …thanks for your imput

Gracie is one of my favourite girls names, it's lovely 😊

I love Adelaide and Annabel.

Suggestions:

Alice
Amelia
Kate
Ella
Charlotte
Frances
Lucy
Zara

Cressida is by far my favourite. I used to know a really nice one. Eloise and Annabelle are also lovely.

Biased here - I have an Eloise she’s 2.5 yrs 😊

I like Eloise and Adelaide. I'd like Annabel (spelt that way) and Grace rather than Gracie. Not a big fan of the others, sorry.
