Last one I promise

[Jollytots34]

I'm going round and round in circles with girls names. I guess when he/she arrives I'll know what to call her but in the meantime our list consists of....
Alice
Sadie
Anna
My other half also suggested
Arabella
Sophia
Anya

Our surname is one symbol beginning with a Gr sound, nothing seems to flow nicely which is very annoying (but obviously nothing I can do about the surname unfortunately).

All are lovely. I would choose Anya, Alice or Anna. Strong but pretty.

I like Anya / Anna - lovely names!

Sadie, Anna, or Anya

Lovely names! Alice is my favourite! Anna and Sophia are my second favourites 😊 I also really like Sadie and Anya, especially if you want something less commonly used.

Do you want more ideas or are you trying to narrow it down?

Anya or Sophia

Alice is the best by a mile

Alice or Sadie 😍

All lovely names.

My favourites, in order.
Anna Grice
Arabella Grose
Alice Green
Sophia Grail

Anya and Sadie are equal last for me.

Anna then Alice

Alice

Alice

My DD is called Sofia so obviously that is my favourite 😂 but I love Arabella and Anya

I think a 4 syllable name with the stress on the 2nd syllable would sound good. I teach a girl called Amelia with a one syllable surname beginning with Gr and I think her name rolls off the tongue nicely. Victoria, Olivia, Cordelia, Penelope, Elizabeth, Cecilia, Lavinia - there are lots of others!

Alice 🤍

Alice - would use
Sadie - it's OK, might use for a pet or doll
Anna - would use

Arabella - too long. Will be Bella or Ella, both overused
Sophia - Sophia/Sofia overused
Anya - ok but seems a bit feeble compared to Anna

You are over-thinking this. She'll probably turn up and you'll call her Lydia or something because it suits her better. I'd go with Anna, then you could also call her Anya or Annie as a 'nn'

I'm guessing the surname to be Gr*nt, and it's one that all the names go OK with, but as it's consonant-heavy, I think Anna goes best.

Best wishes

I love them all except Sadie. My favourites are Anna and Anya. Lovely choices.

My favourite is Anna

Alice

Anna is the winner. Alice is OK if you give birth to a 73yr old 😂

@Didshejustsaythatoutloud , I think you'd probably find that very few 73-year olds are called Alice. It wasn't much used in the 1950s.
It was a 'granny name' back then, and became popular again around 1980.

Anya or Arabella.

I think either a long or very short name goes Best with a one-syllable surname. E.g.

Evangeline Grant
Arabella Green
Ann Gray
Jade Grimes
Victoria Grail
Christina Grass

From your list Anya and Alice are my favourites.

Love love love Sadie 😍

I like Alice and Anna but not keen on Sadie.

Not keen on any from your DH's list sorry!

I love Anya. In order of preference, I’d rank them:

Anya
Alice
Anna
Sophia
Arabella
Sadie
