Please help me name my daughter!!

[Helpme99]

She’s a few weeks old. Can’t decide on a name, so please help by suggesting any pretty/lovely girl names you’ve come across in your years.

We like uncommon (but not ridiculous).

Thank you so so much x

Lara
Camille
Sylvie
Alice
Annie

How about:

Thea
Kitty
Cyndi
Cassie
Tamsin
Belinda
Elena
Vanessa
Josie
Becky
Laurie
Elsie

Do let us know what you pick in the end!

Jemima
Eloise
Florence
Helena
Edith
Eliza

This was my shortlist for youngest (went for something different in the end).

Allegra
Lydia
Lucinda
Isadora
Annabel

Emmeline

Genevieve

Sylvie

Gwen

Nancy

Dora

Norah

vivienne
sadie

Names I love but didn't use include:
Nancy
Lavinia
Cleo
Emmeline

Adelaide
Juno
Sydney/Sidonie
Clementine
Saffron
Waverley

So, what are you going with OP?

Eliza.
Christina.
Daisy.
Flora.
Molly.

Patience

Aníron

You need to give us some parameters OP!

If you love a Z name then I love Zoë - it means life in Greek

I'm not sure what is defined as "uncommon but not ridiculous" if I'm honest. I know 3 young girls called Hepzibah. More than the number of baby Jennifers or Sarahs I know.

If I was naming a girl:

• Clara
• Marion
• Caritas

Jude
India
Olivia
Scarlet

Effie
Maude

If you are really struggling and it starts to get too close to the deadline then consider giving her a longer name with lots of different nn/diminutive choices - that way you have more time to see which of the names eventually suit her! Ideas (some of the names may be common but not all of the diminutives are):

Elizabeth (Lizzy, Libby, Beth, Eliza, Betty, Bess, Elsie, Elsa..)
Eleanor (Nell, Elle/Ellie, Ella, Nora, Leni)
Antonia (Anna/Annie, Anya, Nina, Nia, Toni)
Emilia (Emmy, Millie, Mila, Mia)
Isabella (Izzy, Belle/Bella, Elle/Ella)
Genevieve (Genny, Ginny, Neve, Eve/Evie)
Christabel (Chris/Chrissie, Christy, Kit/Kitty, Tabby, Belle/Bella)
Cordelia (Cora, Cory, Cordy, Lia, Delia)
Juliet (Jules, Jude, Letty, Etty, Jet)
Josephine (Jo/Joey, Josie, Sephie, Effie, Finn, Gigi)
Magdalena (Maggie, Maddie, Mae, Lena)

I think you have to give us a bit of a clue as to what sort of names you like!
Are you looking for one syllable? More? Pretty, floral, very unusual?

I’m so glad I’m not alone! So thank you for the solidarity. I feel somewhat guilty that I can’t just look at her and “know” 🙁

What names are on your shortlist OP?

I seem to lean into the “ee” ending ones. Like Maggie, Bobbie, Billie, Leonie etc

Pippi
Pippa
Fifi
Bella
Frankie (I adore this name) Would probably get called Fran for short.

There’s a few I “like” but I can’t just seem to be like “aha, that’s definitely you!” Though 😕 so it makes me feel like there’s one out there that I haven’t considered 😞

Hattie, Hazel, Lottie, Araminta/Minty, Marley, Frankie, Saffie, Shelby, Rosie (although, a few babies in our circles with this name so again, feels a bit close to home)

Yeah, I definitely am a fan of nickname style names. Josie is nice, and I do like Maggie but it’s not “the one”, I also quite like Annie
