Baby girl name

Really stuck on naming our baby girl due very soon!

Some names I like are:

Romy
Lila
Margot
Daisy
Marnie
Esme (my cousin's called Esme - is that weird?)
Halle
Ada
Mabel
Amelie

We are based in Scotland for reference.

What's everyone's thoughts on that list? Any other recommendations?

Nice list. Nothing terrible! Fine to use cousin’s name if that’s a favourite. I’d probably avoid the most popular ones such as Amelie as they tend to ‘date’ a child.
From your list Lila is my favourite. Then Mabel. Least favourite all the ones ending in an ‘ie’ sound.

Mabel and Ada are both lovely. Classic but not overused.

LivingTheDreamish · 05/10/2025 05:24

Good list, my favourites are Romy, Daisy and Esme. I prefer Lara to Lila and Marina over Marnie.

I wouldn’t hesitate to use Esme if it was my absolute favourite, otherwise I’d go with something else I think.

Love Mabel, Ada & Daisy.

PixelRainbow · 05/10/2025 06:36

We are due on Thursday and Mabel and Margot are also on our list☺️ they’re lovely names! I love Marnie as well

ApricotCheesecake · 05/10/2025 06:42

From your list, I love Lila and Ada. Or how about Lyra or Ida?

Zuve · 05/10/2025 06:44

I like one old name and one new like Louise Sandy

Toomanywaterbottles · 05/10/2025 06:50

I like Romy and Margot in that list. Really not keen on Mabel, Amelie, Marnie or Esme.

Romy - not keen
Lila - dislike
Margot - too trendy and not very nice. Maggot
Daisy - fine, a but twee
Marnie - OK, but seems nothingy
Esme - Essmy/Ezmay. not keen
Halle - awful
Ada - don't like it
Mabel - don't like it
Amelie - OK but a bit 2000s

Cinnamonbunn · 05/10/2025 10:08

Romy, Amelie and Marnie are my favourites.

I’d suggest Rosa, Nina and Romilly.

Snugglemonkey · 05/10/2025 10:10

That is a nice list. My favourites are Mabel and Margot.

fairycupcakes · 05/10/2025 10:42

Lovely list- and congratulations!

If Esme is your absolute favourite I don’t see a problem with that! Pretty name. I prefer the Es May pronunciation rather than Es Mee.

I really really like Romy as of late! But not sure if it will “date” or if that even matters!

My top three on your list are

Romy, Ada & Mabel.

I love Mabel and Margot
None of them are awful

user1492757084 · 05/10/2025 14:18

All are fine names.
Choose your favourite.
Say it out aloud with the surname.
Make sure the initials are not rude.

My faves are ..
Lila
Daisy
Esme
Amelie

Do you like ..
Elspeth
Mary
Sibella

EeyoresLostTail · 05/10/2025 16:01

Ada or Romy are both very pretty

helpwithname · 05/10/2025 18:05

Thank you all for your thoughts!

We are going to wait until she's born and see what she looks most like - could even end up being something completely different! Nice to know most people liked the majority of the list though :)

Great list, Op! Romy, Lila and Ada are my favourites

noramoo · 07/10/2025 16:12

Romy - like
Lila - less keen, just not as pretty as the others imo
Margot - like, but popular atm
Daisy - no, feels boring to me and a bit dated
Marnie - love
Esme (my cousin's called Esme - is that weird?) - meh
Halle - would go with Hallie personally
Ada - meh
Mabel - cute
Amelie - very overdone
