BESTESTgirls names in the world....EVER!

[LadyOfTheFlowers]

Please tell me what they are.

Have decided to start afresh.

DH is pretty easy so it's ultimately up to me.

Two syllable 'S' surname very similar to 'Simpson', in fact, I get called Simpson all the time! So if it goes with Simpson, it goes with ours.

TIA.

Anna Katerina Niamh - "my" girl's name from when I was about 12 .

You can have it as I am currently expecting DS4 and that's it!

lol Pacific.

Apparently this one is a girl, according to 2 scans, but I still think it's going to be DS4!

Need to be prepared though eh?

Good luck!

3 brothers, eh? She will be a tomboy if she knows what's good for her - or a wee madam, or course !

Christobel Joy. Joy Christobel.

Genevieve. Marianne. Maggie.

My favourites are the eclectic mix of:

Emmeline
Zora
Maria / Mia / Mimi
Eliza
Cleo

SIL is a dd following 3 boys. Is she a tomboy? Erm, she plays rugby for England.

What sort of things do you like?

I love...

Josephine
Mathilda
Clara
Beatrice
Jessamy
Esme
Willow

Lucy

Lily

Olivia

Isobel

Julia

Another vote for Julia - lovely, and actually rather rare.
And Clara and Anna.
Also on my list were Marianne, Lydia and Ilse.

Raphaelle or Raphaella. Not my DD's name (can't give you that one, obviously!) but love it.

Sancia also is a favourite. And I still really like Poppy although it is quite popular.

Mabel, Stella, Erin, Muriel, Cyd

Am LOVING at the moment

Saskia
Arianna
Celeste
Imogen
Beatrice
Delphine
Cleo

we have an

Isabella nn Ella
Alexandra nn Lexie
and Cordelia known as Dylan

good luck

I love the name cordelia. It reminds me of Anne of Green Gables. "Could you please call me Cordelia"

I like names that are cuddly yet elegant, won't date too readily but not uber-poncey or patrician. Tough sort of balance to find:

Imogen
Rosemary
Cordelia
Sophie
Eleanor
Constance

MintyCan - would you think less of me if I told you that played a big part in it

Not at all ! I love it. My middle dd makes me laugh at the moment because if she is upset she tells me she is "in the depths of despair"

Sorry about the hijack

I love also really love

Eliza
Rosalind
Roseanna
Alexandra

At the moment, the bestest names that come to mind are

Beatrice
Lucinda
Keziah
Faith
Hope
Ruth
Miranda
Stella
Alice

I agree about Cordelia, but (irrationally) worry that the Cordelias in King Lear and Brideshead Revisited are not very happy precedents.

Elodie
Edie

I may be biased but I would say Harriet and Miriam should be at the top of the list of bestest ever in the world girls' names.

MadBad - Cordelia was the only good daughter

it also means HEART in latin and celtic for daughter of the sea which balances nicely with her mn of Dylan which is son of the sea - it all kind of fell into place for us

Euphemia is brilliant, its my aunts mn and I would love to use it, just have to persuade DH

I'm not sure I could cope with the King Lear association with Regan.

Dizzy - I think MadBad knew that Cordelia was the good daughter, but she didn't have a very happy end.

well fingers crossed mine will
