Hey, mums, I’m expecting my first child and the responsibility of naming her is stressing me out. For someone that had birth certificates to every single one of her stuffed animals and dolls as a little girl, I knew it was going to be hard but not this much.
The name I decided to go with is Ayla, though I have to be honest there’s still about a 10% chance I could just not use it in the end if I decide she looks like another name when she arrives haha. Other names I thought of and decided to not use were: Aliya, Willow/Willa, Dorothea, Elowen, Autumn, Elise, Louisa, Harriet, Juniper, Estelle, Clover, Rosalie, Meadow, Ruby, Winter, Lavinia, Lilou, Lilla, Delilah and Heidi. I think that might give ou some ideas of what I usually like.
I would love the support of the mumsnet community on this. I’m doing this whole motherhood thing on my own and if at least the choice of names can be shared with someone, that would already make me a little more relaxed.
Thank you.
