In desperate need of name ideas!

[Otterlyadorable]

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

Katherine Elizabeth.

Sophie Elizabeth.

Victoria Elizabeth.

Molly Elizabeth.

Grace Elizabeth

Hannah Elizabeth.

Aimee Elizabeth.

Nancy Elizabeth.

Megan Elizabeth.

Mary Elizabeth.

Jennifer Elizabeth.

Love the name Elizabeth, I was hoping one or both my twins were girls, as I had put a lot of thought into girl names.
I had two boys.
The girl names I choose were
Heather
Georgia
Atlanta
and
Athena
congratulations on your forthcoming birth, be warned you may possibly have a complete change of mind, when you have her in your arms.
My chosen boys names never materialised, went for completely different ones, after their birth!.

Names we had for our daughter

Anna
Anastasia
Peyton
Niamh
Blake
Emily
Elise
Maria
Charlotte
Grace

There was more but can’t remember them off the top of my head.

If I had a girl I’d have used Holly
I had boys xx

Alice
Matilda
Charlotte
Anna

Charlotte (Lottie)
Anastasia (Ana, Stazi, Tia)

My daughter is Erin Elizabeth, my friend has Charlotte Elizabeth. It's a beautiful, timeless name x

The name we had chosen for our second child. Was Anna Elizabeth, but he was a boy! I still love it though!

I love traditional names and we have used traditional! Some names I love are Alexina, Joanna, Rosalea, Edith, Marbeth, Lydia, Madeleine, Jessica, Felicity!

I’m Judith Elisabeth

Maisy Elizabeth
Sarah Elizabeth
Hannah Elizabeth
Kathryn Elizabeth
Amy Elizabeth

congratulations on your pregnancy!

Edith Elizabeth

Sibylla and Venetia are two of my favourite names and both would work with Elizabeth (another great name!)

Lyra
Ophelia (my daughters name lol)
Ottilie
Aurelia
Evangeline or Guinevere, could both be shortened to Evie
Madeleine
Eloise
Amelie
Cordelia
Genevieve
Penelope
Adelaide
Cecilia

Our daughter’s middle name is also Elizabeth, her full name is Kitty Elizabeth. Our final two options were Kitty Elizabeth or Molly Elizabeth but decided when she came out Kitty was more suited.

But also had;
Emma
Charlotte
Beatrix
Olivia

We liked Elsbeth as its Scottish for Elizabeth but ultimately decided on Elizabeth.

We didn’t want our daughters name to be shortened so some of the other suggestions (Charlotte and other names were taken out)
We also did this for our son too. Traditional name that can’t be shortened.

I assume Elizabeth is after a relative and so can’t be the first name? As it really is the ultimate, timeless name choice for a girl if you like the classics (I do too!). Otherwise I think you can’t go wrong with many traditional names and luckily almost every girls name sounds good with Elizabeth. This list is some of my faves, all taken from Austen or other very classic authors like Hardy, Dickens, the Brontës etc (Austen in particular had a great eye for a classic name, Fanny excepted!):

Julia
Anna
Rose/Rosa
Laura
Sarah/Sara
Caroline
Charlotte
Catherine
Emma
Alice
Emily
Eleanor
Diana
Maria/Mary
Helena
Louisa
Lydia
Beatrice
Juliet
Marina
Lara
Susanna
Cecilia
Claudia
Antonia
Jane
Philippa
Clara
Teresa
Sophie
Josephine

Laura Elizabeth
Ella Elizabeth
Charlotte Elizabeth
Alice Elizabeth
Zara Elizabeth
Freya Elizabeth
Juliet Elizabeth
Nina Elizabeth
Grace Elizabeth
Estelle Elizabeth
Tessa Elizabeth
Amy Elizabeth
Kate Elizabeth
Harriet Elizabeth
Ruby Elizabeth
Anthea Elizabeth

Congratulations! I am also a mum to an IVF miracle and found naming my son so difficult- he didn't have a name until I was giving birth.
If we had had a daughter, he would have been either Annabelle, Phoebe, Isla or Caitlin. However, I also loved Faith, Joy, Beatrix, Constance, Lois, Alice, Annie, Kitty, Abigail...
Your baby will find the right name, please do not worry. Just enjoy these last few days of pregnancy and the beautiful miracle that will soon be laid in your arms. Xxx

Congratulations! I was interested to see Josephine on a couple of lists, it's my daughter's name but isn't very common this generation. I still love it, she's known as Josie mainly, sometimes Jo.

Ahh congrats, how exciting — and after everything you’ve been through, it must feel so special ❤️

Elizabeth is such a lovely middle name. If you like traditional names, how about:
Alice, Rose, Clara, Sophie, Anna, Grace, or Eleanor?

Wishing you all the best for the birth — not long now!

WOW! thank you so much for all the replies! This has been incredibly helpful and we now have a shortlist:
Anna (my fave)
Emma
Rose
Abigail (my husbands fave)
Beatrice

Any opinions on these? X

Lovely shortlist! I would rank them in this order but it’s just personal choice,
Abigail
Emma
Anna
Rose
Beatrice

I think Abigail is such a pretty name but it will likely be shortened to Abi -

if my son had been a girl he was going to be Ella Elizabeth

I would say Beatrice out of your choices. Congratulations!

Rose would probably be my choice, or perhaps you could call her Rosanna
