Baby girl, no name due in 2 weeks!

[ravingandbehaving]

Name changed as I share our names in this. As the title, I'm due in 2 weeks.

Already have two girls, Florence and Robin. I'm becoming increasingly anxious we don't have a single name that feels right!

DH likes quite old fashioned names. He likes Connie but we don't like Constance. He likes Edith with Edie as a nickname but I'm not sure, where we live in the north west I already get a lot of 'oh isn't Florence very old fashioned' comments, I think Edith would illicit more of the same!

I really liked Eden instead and we were quite set on this for a while, but then had a bad experience with another child who turned out to be called Eden and it's just spoiled it for us.

I'm honestly finding it impossible. We have trawled lists and lists of girls names with no luck!

Please share some girls names. I like Olive but our surname is Doyle which sounds too much like Olive Oil!

Eleanor
Elisabeth

You can't have an Olive Doyle

What about Violet, Sadie, Iris, Daisy, Eliza, Marcie, Martha or Penelope?

I've heard Connie being short for Consetta before.

Other suggestions:

Jeanie (Could be a nn for Jeanette)
Darla
Elizabeth (nn Eliza or Lizzie)
Eleanora (nn Nora)

Those are gorgeous names.

It does feel like names like Violet and Iris would work, along with names of the Beatrice/Rosalind/Helena.

Yep we definitely can't have Olive Doyle 😂

Martha is one we had on our list as well as Marnie, also love Violet and Sadie but I just don't get the feeling with any of them. I can't explain it but with my other two girls, as soon as we picked their name out around 20 weeks it just felt absolutely right, I never deterred! This baby has had so many prospective names but none feel like the one!

Isolde
Ottilie
Ophelia
Lilac
Ettie
Mercy
Joy
Beatrice

Maeve
Charlotte (Lottie)
Lydia
Norah
Harriet
Emma
Imogen
Erin

I love your daughter’s names. How about -

Mabel, Clara, Alice, Margot, Ivy, Ada, Elsie, Nellie, Ruby, Harriet, Rosa, Heidi, Nancy

I like Zoe with Florence & Robin.
But I would say go with the name you love and don't worry what others think. There will always be someone who doesn't like the name whatever you choose.

My dd is Charlotte.

Edelle for Edie
Adeline /addy
Imogen immy

Honestly I think this other child has done you a favour regarding Eden. It's a bit of a, um, chavvy name and I've seen it more on boys. A really different feeling to your other names.

Florence, Robin and Cleo, Juno, Thea, Helena, Elinor, Hanna, Autumn

Esther
Margot
Millie
Grace
Darrell
Bryony
Estelle

Or Iris is in the Violet vein.

Don't let one child ruin Eden for you!
That name is gorgeous and really goes well with your other two!

Sarah Jane
Isabel
Cadence
Briony
Laura
Amelia
Catriona
Isla
Iona

Sylvia
Honor
Stella
Vivienne

If you like Edie, but are unsure of Edith, how about just calling her Eadie?

Harriet / Harry
Martha

Good luck. I think 3 is a fabulous number of children 😍

Stella
Margot
Greta
Sylvie
Joanna

Stella
Zoe
Pearl

Erica.
Florence, Robin and Erica.

Rowena
Rhiannon/Ria/Rhea
Georgina

I think Ottilie sounds lovely with your other names. Willow is nice too. Matilda? Olivia? Mabel? Jemima?

Florence, Robin and Amy Doyle
Florence, Robin and Lucille Doyle
Florence, Robin and Camille Doyle
Florence, Robin and Ivy Doyle
Florence, Robin and Genevieve Doyle
Florence, Robin and Estelle Doyle
Florence, Robin and Celeste Doyle
Florence, Robin and Josie Doyle
Florence, Robin and Millicent Doyle
Florence, Robin and Melanie Doyle
Florence, Robin and Katrine Doyle
Florence, Robin and Vivienne Doyle
Florence, Robin and Alice Doyle

I think other PPs have great suggestions here. With your other daughters' names, I like Clara, Alice, Josie, Helena (nn Lena). Agree that Eden is a very different vibe.

If you picked the name early with you other daughters, it may always feel different this time around, but that doesn't mean it's not right. Maybe have a shortlist and then pick the right one when you meet her?

Alice
Cassie
Josie
