I'm 32 weeks and we CANNOT come up with a girls name we like.

Already have a DD (starting with K, so no K names), and surname is D. So no D's or anything that spells something odd on initials.

We both like traditional names, got to be able to spell them, preferably are pronounced as they are spelt, but we are not fans of giving names either than can be shortened (to something horrible) or are shortened versions of something else IYKWIM

Not too many conditions then

Please please pretty please help me come up with some ideas to put to DH....

I can't have this baby not knowing what they will be called.

Will probably have a boy now (and those names are sorted!)

TIA

my girls are Hannah Abigail, Tiffany Alice, Madeline Daisy, Isabelle Rose, and Matilda Lily. I also had Evangeline (Evie) Amelie and Phoebe on my list

Harriet lovely and under-used.
Sophie and Anna my all time faves - underused, as is Elisabeth (so many abbreviations).

Love Shakespeare names - Miranda, Ophelia, Hermione etc and Austen names esp. Elisabeth, Emma (beautiful and under-used) and Lydia.

If DH likes Helen what about Helena or Elena (beautiful)

Or very traditional English like Catherine, Emily, Lucy, Sarah, Mary, Laura, Alice, May, Julia etc

Or slightly more European classics like Isabelle/a, Francesca, Chloe, Amelie, Greta etc

If you like Helen, how about Helena - very elegant

Isla is a traditional Scottish name and is impossible to shorten. Also Eliza is traditional and quite nice too.

lizmcfizz · 26/01/2009 13:41

What about Sarah and Elisabeth? Or Greta, Lorna, Lauren, Trudy? Or Nina?

lizmcfizz · 26/01/2009 13:41

Alice is also very nice. Classic but sweet

I really like Helena. Helen is a bit boring to me as so many of my mum's friends are called Helen. Helena, on the other hand, is original AND classic.

I also like Amelia and Emily.

Lilah is also pretty.
