Ok, so if you had to list one, what would you say your very favourite girl's name is?

Anna,all time favourite and has been since I was around 15. If DC2 is a girl, this will be her name.

4andnotout · 08/11/2009 18:18

Evangeline is my favorite name but even after 4 dd's I still haven't used it.

ihatemyjob · 08/11/2009 18:19

Eloise

Isabel. My dd's name,it has always been my favorite and luckily DH liked it too. Though when we came back to England in the summer I discovered it seemed to be the name of the moment. Oh well...

Her middle name is Naiomi. Another all time favorite of mine. If we have another girl I don't know what we would call them, they have always been my top two.

Closely followed by Elizabeth and Katherine.

teameric · 08/11/2009 18:26

Evie (it's my DD's name)

bluebump · 08/11/2009 18:26

Thea

Followed by Kitty.

Or maybe Iris.

JANEITEluddite · 08/11/2009 18:27

Elinor / Marianne / Elizabeth - I have two daughters and didn't name them any of these though.

JANEITEluddite · 08/11/2009 18:27

Chica - my dds have two of your dd's names between them - we must have similar taste!

TheFallenMadonna · 08/11/2009 18:28

How odd Janeite. I was just coming on to say Marianne and Elizabeth

JANEITEluddite · 08/11/2009 18:31

LEONORA. It just sounds so gorgeous when said out loud.
Has a beautiful melodic sound.

Easy to say and spell.

Is a very old European name.

Beethoven has a symphony to Leonora.

Travels well so recognizable all over the world.

There will not be another one in the whole school{smile]

Gorgeous in every way. IMVH humble O.
