looking for inspiration, but also just nosy!

Frances has always been high on my list of faves but dp isn't keen.

If it was just me in the picture, I'd have Alice, Charlotte or Emily. But Dh disagrees!

Tortington · 25/11/2008 08:38

agnes.

i farkin bum that name

teenspirit · 25/11/2008 08:40

I just had one and called her Anya Neve my friend is expecting and her dh likes Daisy I quite like Harriet too and second on my list was Alicia.

IwishIwasamermaid · 25/11/2008 08:47

custardo, if agnes had a girl its traditional for her then to name her Senga it is where I live anyway!

frazzledoldbag34 · 25/11/2008 11:29

Annabel or Topaz
or Kitty (but I have one of those already!)

MadameCastafiore · 25/11/2008 11:30

Fleur or Esme.

Or maybe Matilda?

Luckily my child bearing days are over because I am now sitting here trying to decide!

Simplysally · 25/11/2008 11:31

Lydia or Freya.

That's today - tomorrow could be Bethany or Rachel .

cheesesarnie · 25/11/2008 11:32

tallulah ,esme or honey.they are my imaginary daughters name that id never be allowed to use in rl,not that i would be able to anyway.my dds name is fairly boring compared

LesAnimaux · 25/11/2008 11:35

Tallulah or Martha or Imogen.

But DH would probably put his foot down and demand Charlotte, and I would call her Lottie as a compromise.

mazzystartled · 25/11/2008 11:37

Kate
Daphne
Anna
or
Elizabeth

rosealbie · 25/11/2008 11:38

Martha

belgo · 25/11/2008 11:39

Alice. That was the name dh and I decided on, if ds had been a dd.

I also love
Eliza
Tess
Martha,
but dh vetoed them all.

ilovemydog · 25/11/2008 11:41

Sasha - but may be popular now that Barack Obama's daughter is called this.

Then again, was there a sudden rise in the name Chelsea?

iloverosycheeks · 25/11/2008 11:45

Molly
Sylvie
Emma

HensMum · 25/11/2008 11:48

Mathilda. That's what I would call a baby girl but DP has vetoed it. We agreed on Martha when we were expecting DS..seems to be getting popular now!
I also really like Saoirse or Niamh but have concerns about spelling/pronounciation. Plus my niece is Evelyn (know as Evie) which is a bit close in sound to Niamh.

I also have a soft spot for Olive.

cheesesarnie · 25/11/2008 12:07

hensmum my cousin is mathilde(said matt ilde.see if your dh would like that as comprimise

i love Saoirse-but how do you you prounounce it?

scorpio1 · 25/11/2008 12:08

think its sear-shar ?

I don't know what i would call a new dd. Maybe Elodie. Or dd's middle name, Jessamy.

jumpingbeans · 25/11/2008 12:12

Olivia Rose

cookiedough · 25/11/2008 12:36

Anna - old classic. Pretty but not too pretty and works for all ages.

Also like -
Catherine
Caitlin
Isabelle
Sarah (probably as a middle name)
Evangeline
