After some inspo! Super stuck on what to call our baby girl… 31 weeks pregnant so still have time, but just can’t imagine settling on a name. We have a Poppy already x

I’ve always loved Erica. In my head it is wildly different from Eric.

I’ve also been a teacher for a long time and never taught one. About 25 years ago I had a class with seven girls called Laura. That has clearly gone out of fashion but Poppy & Mia/Mya/Myah are very popular now…

I was once told Erica is Heather, in German - which I think makes it even more lovely!

i currently adore the name Winter (Winnie)

I’d have loved a Florence but our surname sounds too much like Pugh to get away with it. Love Irish names, or proper classic English names like Margot, Edith and Sylvie

I don't think it's really a question of what our favourite names are it's more what fits with Poppy.

Sophie.
Elsie.

Erica is my favourite girls’ name too!

Nothing ending in 'ie'.

And it doesn't have to 'match' with Poppy. One day they may live on different continents, they don't coexist as a pair.

Lynsey, Murrin and Eilidh. Pronounced Alay

@DramaQueenlady It really isn't, it's pronounced Ay-Lee.

Helen

I don't think it's often heard but (to me) it's a classic name.

LoudPlumDog · 04/12/2025 23:29

Alice

CJones11 · 04/12/2025 23:38

Firm believer in the name must suit the child. All of mine were named after they were born and settling in.

I love people brave enough to go truly out there with whimsical names:
Blossom
Meadow
Tallulah

Classics I love are:
Gwen and all the variations
Esther
Laura
Alice
Phoebe
Rosanna

Names rising in popularity that I think are pretty:
Maeve
Florence
Sadie
Sienna

Names I have found overused and rather drab (teacher):
Amelia
Isla
Mya

Lynsey, Murrin and Eilidh. Pronounced Alay

I learnt something there, I always thought it was pronounced Ay-lish, fortunately I've never met one so didn't embarrass myself!
