Girls names...

[Haribosmummy]

OK, tell me what girls you think I should be thinking of?

I have a Harry (Harrison) so would like something that 'matches' that IYSWIM.

Our shortlist (OK, my shortlist which I have repeated over and over mentioned to DH) is:

Imogen (but I don't like Immy and DH doesn't like Genny)
India (but shortened to Indy might make people think I have a Harrison Ford issue!)
Amelia (but popular????)
Emily

PLEASE offer any / all suggestions!!

thankyou!

I like Emily and Amelia best from your list. Are you that concerned about how popular names are? According to a site I've just found, Emily was 4th most popular last year, Amelia 11th, Imogen 40th. I can't see India anywhere in the top fifty.

I think you have to go for a name you love and sounds right rather than how unusual it is. You might go off the name in a few weeks/months/years and wish you had chosen something else.

Why not just call her by the full version e.g Imogen?Why does she need a nickname?

I like all of them! Emily and Amelia probably my favourits.

LOVE Imogen & India

My own are....

Mia
Thea

(not intended for them to rhyme)

Imogen could be Mimi if you liked that? does it need to be shortened though, its a lovely name

others could be

Celeste
Penelope nn Nell
Cecilia nn Cece
Nancy
Nina
Georgia
Jemima nn Jem
Nicole nn Nico
Verity
Marianne

Claudia is lovely too
Camille nn Millie or Mimi
Beatrice nn Bea
Phoebe nn Bea
Florence nn Floss
Josephine nn josie or Posey

Oh mine aren't called Mia and Thea (just had myself a chuckle at that!), they're on my wishlist for DC3, who will be a girl (not yet conceived, still trying to bully persuade DP).

Imogen is nice enough but Immy and Genny both v silly sounding imho.

I don't like India.

Emily is nice and classic and not heard as much nowadays.

Amelia is okay.

I like:
Clover
Violet
Elinor
Esme
Beatrice
Daisy

janeite where we are there are loads of Emily's - not surprisingly as its a lovely name

Why does Genny sound silly? I am assuming it is pronounced the same as Jenny/Jennie.

Yes - Genny as Jenny..

There are loads of Emilys around here too...
(not that that really matters - Harry isn't exactly uncommon!!

Go for broke and turn India into Indiana

No more Emilys....I implore you!

I know 11 oldest 18 and youngest 7 months.

scorpette No. ....
