Help! C-section in a couple of days and need to finalise our choice!! Shortlisted names are: Daisy, Violet, Poppy and Beatrice. We already have a Willow. Any other suggestions for a lovely girls name, please comment!

All pretty but I like Beatrice best. Violet is my least favourite because it sounds like violent.

It sounds like you like vintage names that have made strong comebacks. Other suggestions:
Annie, Agnes, Alice, Bronte, Bella, Celest, Claudia, Charlotte, Dulcie, Delilah, Esme, Edith, Elise, Emma, Florence, Frances, Grace, Giselle, Hazel, Iris, Ivy, Julia, Jessie, Katherine, Lily, Lucy, Lydia, Maria, Mary, Maggie, Martha, Maisie, Marta, Nancy, Nadia, Olive, Pearl, Peggy, Penny, Pippa, Rosa, Ruby, Rita, Sarah, Stella, Sadie, Thea, Tess, Una, Verity, Winnie, Willa

Willow and Ella x

Beatrice….. ugh, but nice shortened to Bea

user1492757084 · 22/08/2025 07:05

Willow and Beatrix.

Firsttimebabymummy · 22/08/2025 09:10

Daisy is my favourite and I think Willow and Daisy sound great together! Violet would be my 2nd choice.

UnimatrixZeroOne · 22/08/2025 09:49

Beatrix is nicer.

ninjahamster · 22/08/2025 09:53

No help as I love them all! Think I would go with Daisy x

Avocadohoho · 22/08/2025 10:01

Hmmmmm I don’t know, I’m not sure I like any of them. Daisy and Poppy are so twee and cutesy. I work with kids and honestly we have a sea of Daisy-Mays and Poppy-Rose, they just feel overused.

Never liked Violet or Beatrice, although I like Bea. I’d pick Daisy at a push but not with the obligatory Rose/May/Grace after it.

Vroomfondleswaistcoat · 22/08/2025 10:02

I like Beatrice. I think two plant names might be pushing it a bit in the 'twee, matchy-matchy' stakes.

Treeleaf11 · 22/08/2025 10:04

I agree i wouldnt go for two nature names

Emanwenym · 22/08/2025 10:17

I like Poppy best, but would probably choose Beatrice.

i see those as nature names not vintage.

I love the idea of two tree names.

Willow and Olive
Willow and Hazel

Exactly this for me, too 😊

LadyDanburysHat · 22/08/2025 10:22

I really like Beatrice, but I don't like it with Willow. So I would go for Violet.

TwelvePercent · 22/08/2025 10:23

Why not wait til you see her & decide what suits her best?

Bea is best.
Daisy worst.

Twoshoesnewshoes · 22/08/2025 10:27

Daisy and Poppy are sweet for children but personally I don’t think they work as adult names.
