Please help me find a perfect girl name

[moonsunandstars]

Hi :)

So I already have a Samuel, Rose and Elisabeth.

I'm currently 13 weeks pregnant.

They told me at the hospital that it's too early to tell gender, but I saw nothing between the legs on a scan and a nub analysis on the Internet says that it's 80 % a girl.

So based on the names of my existing children, which name would you recommend?

I used to like Florence, but not so much anymore.

Thank you :)

Eleanor nn Nell or Lena? Close to Helen (can’t believe there’s another baby Helen, I’ve never met one! Maybe it’s having a resurgence!) and goes with the other names.

Helen is a great name. It was one of the names I suggested above alongside Helena. Would he agree to that instead. It's also classic, elegant and feminine but just slightly different to your neighbour's baby's name.

He also doesn't agree to Helena.

I think it's ridiculous not to choose a name because of a neighbour that you only say hi to in passing.

Even if my best friend already had a child with the name I like, it wouldn't necessarily stop me from using the same name (although I would mention it first in order not to hurt feelings).

Ellen? A bit like Helen but with a cooler vibe. I know someone with DCs Samuel, Elizabeth and Ellen

Same initial as Elizabeth.
Keep persuading DH to use Helen.
Or Helena?

Or Eve, Neve, Sophia, Sadie, Anna, Louisa

I agree that it's a silly reason not to use a name, assuming that he really likes the name.

How about Ellen ?

if it helps, we have 2 Madeleines on our very small street and no one bats an eyelid

Samuel, Rose, Elisabeth and…
Louise
Phoebe
Alice
Martha
Tabitha
Willow
Georgia
Corinna
Emily
Jessica
Harriet
Orla
Jocelyn

Not a fan of Helen, what about Haidee, Hazel, Heather?

We're both leaning towards Mathilda now.

What does everyone think about this name?

Does it go well with my other children's names?

Samuel, Rose, Elisabeth and Mathilda?

Mathilda is perfect 😁 Although I’d go for the Matilda spelling as it’s the more commonly used one - that way she won’t always have to say “Mathilda with an h”.

Is it pronounced Math il dah?

Like Matilda but with an European accent of your choice.

How about Mathilde?

Matilda is a beautiful name. In fact it’s perfect.
