Hi everyone,
Adding to the thousands of threads on baby names...
We're expecting a little girl in August (coming soon hence the mildly laced panic post), and we're stuck on choosing a name. It was so easy with our little boy. I thought it would be the same for a girl, but no - ten times harder!
Considering Bonnie, Evelyn, Emmeline or Adeline. I'd love to hear your thoughts, especially with potential nickname ideas - Evie for Evelyn, Emmy for Emmeline, and Addie for Adeline is what I would assume. Bonnie already sounds like a nickname, but I've always loved it and I certainly think it's a name in its own right. However, my husband isn't so keen and would need some convincing on that one. His favorite is Evelyn, but I'm concerned she'll get lost in a sea of Evies, although I don't personally know any. I do like Evelyn, but feel it's not a solid 'yes' for me at the moment.
I don't want anything massively popular, but still classy and sweet.
We loved Mabel (although now husband saying he wasn't hugely won over by it which was news to me as I thought we were settled on that!) but in the past two weeks, I've met three people with dogs named Mabel, and every animal going in my little boy's books seems to be called Mabel! Plus, someone we're mildly acquainted with (our son goes to nursery with their daughter and they play together), had another little girl in January named... Mabel! So I feel that's off the table as everywhere I turn there seems to be another -1 for Mabel, although I will always love it.
Many thanks for any advice or suggestions!
