what will we do? Where am I going to find a name from? Who wants the dubious honour of picking one for me?

junstneed - your DD is Alyssa? I quite like is spelt Elissa.

What middle name with Alyssa/Elissa?

Singyswife - yes, we were told at the 20 week scan that the sonographer was 95% sure it was a girl. This pregnancy has been soooo different in comparison to my first 2 (both girls), I sometimes wonder whether a boy might pop out.

dizzy - yes, but you also win the prize as Alyssa/Elissa is the front runner and you also mentioned that. So, see, you do win somehow. Lexie is a beautiful name by the way.

Alyssa pgwith3 PLEASE spell it Alyssa

too late on the Lexie thing but I am very understanding that we all have different tastes - it is short for Alexandra though

can we settle on some top contenders for first names before we start on middle names

lessonlearned · 11/01/2009 21:59

or maybe Alicia?

singyswife · 11/01/2009 22:01

I am intreuged by this thread but it is making me very that I will never have to make a baby name decision again.

delightedoldbag34 · 11/01/2009 22:03

Alexandria?

BTW I think you should have a boy name - just in case! Sounds like its not definitely a girl...........

pgwithnumber3 · 11/01/2009 22:04

why not Elissa dizzy? I prefer it to be honest. Doesn't seem as American, Although do like Alyssa and would be happy to spell it that way.

Not fussed on Alicia lessonlearned.

There is no top contenders, just Alyssa/Elissa is all we can agree on (DH and I, not you and I!)

lovelysongbirdie · 11/01/2009 22:25

pgwithnumber3 · 11/01/2009 22:28

Should I spell it Elissa or Alyssa though.

OP posts:
dizzydixies · 11/01/2009 22:30

lovelysongbirdie · 11/01/2009 22:30

pgwithnumber3 · 11/01/2009 22:32

lovelysongbirdie · 11/01/2009 22:37

pg do you have a few boys names in reserve?
just incase

pgwithnumber3 · 11/01/2009 22:40

not one boys name songbird. It would be a case of picking a name out of a hat I think! I don't like ANY boys names either. Can you see a theme here?

Like Alyssa Charlotte.

What about Alexa? Which is kind of a bit like Alyssa and a bit like Alexandra. Just trying to throw a spanner in the works.

dizzydixies · 11/01/2009 22:43

lulubee I tried to sneak Alexa in there earlier and thought is was a no no as she ignored it lol

justneedsomesleep · 11/01/2009 22:43

omg! That is my dd's name!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

need to run away now before someone recognises me!

mummc2 · 11/01/2009 22:44

oh never mind you've picked a name was going to suggest
CHLOE ALEXANDRA OWENS.
So will now suggest
Alyssa sian owens

justneedsomesleep · 11/01/2009 22:45

you should have justneedsomesleep as a middle name!

pgwithnumber3 · 11/01/2009 22:45

OMG! Surely not Alyssa Charlotte justneed? How weird.

OP posts:
justneedsomesleep · 11/01/2009 22:47

pgwithnumber3 · 11/01/2009 22:48

DH really likes Alyssa. Going to keep it a secret in real life as too many people put me off names atm.
