I feel like there are thousands of lovely girl names but none that I really LOVE. Hoping for inspiration, what is your favourite girl name?

@willWillSmithsmith what a lovely post. My name is Sarah and my mum was very firm when choosing my name back in 1973. It had to be classic, not able to be shortened and (she hoped) reasonably timeless.

Your post reminded me of her and brought a tear to my eye as she’s no longer with us.

Thank you for being so kind about my name. I have always loved it 🥰

Edited

You’re welcome 🙂 you have a really lovely, timeless name. Your mum gave you a great gift in that (I have always hated my name and would love to be called Sarah).

Francesca. Which means freedom, which I think is a good meaning

Dc3 was a boy. The girl name I had picked out was Rosie Eleanor. Still love it now.

I like Jean , especially as a middle name. I'm surprised it isn't used more.
