What is your *favourite* girl's name of all time?

[smother]

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

But of course

Grace

Clover. Not allowed to use it though.

I also love Catherine, but can't use it.

Ellen

Mary

Rowan - I wanted it for DS' name then DH found out it could be a girl's name, too so he nixed it! We have a beautiful boy's name now, though, it's my favourite word in the whole world now

Erin

Amber

stressedHEmum - we love Grainne too - and so very nearly used it for our dd, but the worry about spelling stopped us so we gave her the Anglicised version - Grace. Which is also lovely.

Catherine. Mine will be born in about 6 weeks

MaggieMonday I had a Juliet moment just a few days ago - for exactly all the reasons you say - it suddenly came to me while I was walking the dog (no idea why...not pg or planning to be...) It's a fantastic name. I've no idea why it isn;t more popular. I also realised recently what a gorgeous name Anna is - so pretty, so simple, timeless.

Other big time long term favourties are Rose Elizabeth, Kate and Mary-Anne.

Eliza, Martha, Beatrice

Catriona. But DH hates it.

Evelyn or Madeleine

Anna, Marianne, Claudia

Toss up between Matilda, Alanna and Marilla - 100% sure DH would never let me have any of these!

Sunshine - Are you an Anne of Green Gables fan by any chance?

Matilda Blewitt and Marilla Cuthbert??

My DD is Matilda and is my all time favourite girls name. Other favourites include: Harriet, Persephone, Ophelia, Leonora and Penelope.

Charlotte, Eliza & Harriet - my 3 DD's . I can't pick a favourite - love them all!!

Gabriella.

I presented dh with a list of names when pregnant with this one cunningly placed. They were all at least 3 syllables... dh looked horrified as the only girl's name he liked was Rachel. We had a ds thank goodness (and actually I grew to like Rachel too).

Isabella

Not biased in any way, its dd's name and struggling to find one just as beautiful if this next one is a girl and in fact one that we love as much for a girl.

Also love Gabriella and Annabelle but think it may be too much with an Isabella?
