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
