Help with girls names - not long left

78 replies

I've decided to start a new thread with my new top names (I started the blossom one).

Id really appreciate some help with choosing a girls name, I have three weeks left and have gone round and round in circles.
The list is currently
Daphne
Luna
Marigold
Maeve
Elowen
Polly
Flora
Frankie (Francesca)
Lilianna

Daphne is a long term favourite, only hesitation is Daff doesn't appeal.
Luna I think is so pretty but is it substantial enough? Or just a bit trendy?
Marigold - fab nickname options. Fits my nature/flower preference.
Maeve fits our boys names best but we have a short surname starting in F and it kind of blends together.
Elowen - love this but not keen on Ellie
Polly - love, but bit nicknamey next to our other names?
Flora - butter an issue?
Frankie - DH fave but I'm not totally sold. Worried about Fran
Lilianna - bit frilly, I like Lily but find Lily too popular. Like the option of Annie too.

Any views welcome!

Marigold is terrible, sorry.

Wow! People are being harsh on Daphne. I think is a wonderful name and the viritol here makes me want to use it more!

My favourites are Flora and Daphne. Then Elowen and Polly. I don’t have any of the concerns you do about them. They are very minor and easily ignored.
