Hiya,
I’m currently pregnant and due to give birth any day to a little girl and we have no name ideas!
This baby is very much wanted and after many losses and rounds of IVF I am so thankful I’m at this point in my pregnancy. However, my pregnancy has been quite stressful and so we haven’t had time to debate names and now her arrival is so close we have realised we need to get some ideas.
We like traditional names (I think) and the middle name will be Elizabeth xx

Why not use Elizabeth as her first name.
It's lovely, timeless and classic.
She'll also have the choice of being Liz, Lizzy, Libby, Betty or Beth.

Congratulations!

I really like Sophie and Rosie.

Traceysara · 23/07/2025 22:07

If I had had a girl we were going to call her Chloe, we had a boy 😆 Chloe Elizabeth sounds lovely ❤️

ThatLoudBear · 23/07/2025 22:09

I love the name Elizabeth: I have a Victoria and an Elizabeth (very outing!).
My Elizabeth is known always as Lizzie, but she always gets (from me, primarily) called Betty, Lu Lu and Loo Poo (the latter, only betwixt us, at home!).
