Down to the last three... please come and rate these girls names!

[Haribosmummy]

OK, Now we're sure we're having a girl, we have two names:

1. Millie

* Emily * Millicent

1. Martha

It's just for fun, really, because we won't decide until she's born, but which one would you go for? (or suggest another!!!!)

Middle names:
Grace / Kate / Alice (only one, obviously!)

Thanks, HM

Emily Grace ,lovely

nope - martha is an ugly name - if you have an ugly baby.

beautiful name if you have a beautiful kid - sorry to piss on your parade but what if your kid doesn't grow up to be conventionally pretty - or a kid only a mother could love

am just saying, its a dog rough name if your kids a bit mingin'

I think custardo has a good point... My two DSDs are very pretty (the little one is a VERY successful model!) and DS is gorgeous too (he also has a modelling contract!!) so, while there is every reason to think DDTB will also be pretty, if she wasn't (or even wasn't as pretty as the rest of them), I wouldn't want to saddle her with the wrong name!!

I would like to think 'I'll wait till she's born', but I tohught DS looked just like an alien - An alien I adored from day one, but an alien none the less!

Looks like it's Millie - that will just be a nickname name... she will have alonger 'full' name!!

i love it when i'm right.

ps. i think all babies are ugly i have only ever seen one beautiful baby in my life - it just so happened it was ds1. the twins were well ugly.

and it was a consideration for me in the delivery room - we were thinking of beth, with again like martha or ruth, i think its one of those ugly names - if you have an ugly kid.

so changed my choice. good job too 'cos dd was the ugliest baby i ever did see.

Emily Maria,our dds name

Background: Martha was the sister in the Bible who complained that she had to do all the housework. IIRC Jesus told her nicely to shut up and get on with it

Thus in churches the team of women who clean the church and polish the brass etc are often called "the Marthas."

(This is where The Handmaid's Tale bit comes from.)

I like the name Martha but I know what Custardo means about ugly names. We love the name Mary, butit sounds very plain with our surname. I kept thinking she would be short and fat like MIL if we called her Mary. Luckily "she" was DS1 so we didn't have to worry.

rofl at teh ugly Baby discussion....es and ys both looked handsome straightaway, but ms was bogugly (well, I didn't see it at the time though ), oddly enough though, once he gotten out of newborn state he was gorgeous, he was actually seriously pretty, and many people mistaken him for a girl, lol...

As for the biblical Martha thing....well....Martha not a name I am keen on, but don't blame Martha at all for complaining about the hosuework...I think in my heart I am a Martha, lol

Millie, but NOT
Millie Alice, which is too may llie / li sounds
And not Martha Alice because it doesn't sound good when a vowel sound at the end of a name runs into a voew at the beginning of the next.

Millie and Martha both nice, though.

millie
martha dont like it sounds too old. millie grace is nice. emily is nice too dont like any of the others at all sorry xx

Millicent without a doubt. Emily and Martha are both extremely popular atm.

i love martha. it sounds strong and not really sissy girly

i really like emmeline too but not millie or any of the nicknames for it. people would just end up calling her emmy or something.

i'd go with martha!

I like Martha but one of the biggest reasons I didn't chose it was because I couldn't reasonably shorten it. Have you thought about that as you obviously want to shorten your other choice.

Millie Grace for me....This is dd3's name !

Martha Kate

Love Martha Grace. Love Alice too.

Suggestions in a similar line -
Felicity
Cecily
Esme
Marianne

My two favourite names there are Martha and Alice, but Martha Alice doesn't seem to run very well (I think it's the final and initial As), so I'd suggest Martha Grace.

Martha Kate

Millies are everywhere now and not mad on it anyway

far from being ugly I think of a teen Martha as a beauty - clever and classy!

Emily is my favourite. Emily Alice is adorable.

I know 3 Millies and EIGHT Emilys

Think again, think again!

martha definitely. but i want it. even thought i am not even pg...

Martha Grace.

Or go for Clemency. Fab name, IMHO!

Hate the name Millie. Martha is fab.

My name is Milly

so obv go for that lol

Emily is the nicest out of your first names and I think it goes best with Kate.

Emily Kate.

Don't have Alice for a middle name because your first name choices end in a vowel sound as well and they don't trip off the tongue easily (vowel-vowel). ( I am a linguist)
