Girls' names - so hard!

[bruno69]

Hello all,

Am pregnant with my first DD after 2 DSs and am finding name choosing this time round so difficult. We do have a shortlist (which sames to mutate weekly) but nothing is screaming "PICK ME!" like it did with the boys (who were incredibly easy to choose for).

Anyway, can I have honest opinions on the following:

Harriet (but only because I like in theory nn Harri tho' not sure in practice that I could call my tiny DD that!)
Romilly
India (but can't quite get passed the whole "country" thing and also this baby is likely to be of the fair skinned, blue eyed variety - does this matter?)
Indigo - chiefly because I love nn Indy (see above) but not sure this passes my barrister test!
Jessamy - love nn Jess but is this name punchy enough?

All alternative suggestions welcome. (roughly along the same lines if that exists)

Should add that I LOVE Ruby and Isabella too but cannot bring myself to use them as they're sooo popular. Is this daft? The boys' names are around 90-100 on the baby names list.

Many thanks in advance

From your list I like Romilly and India.

No offense taken by me Nadia - different strokes for different folks & all that

Thanks Libby - we think the names go beautifully together

I have a friend who has called her DD Harrie, not Harriet the midwife who visited had also seen two other girls named harrie! So it is def on the rise in popularity. Love Harriet (have a niece called Harriet!) and option for nn or formal name I think is a good thing as my friend has to do a lot of correcting people who assume its short for Harriet!As well as pointing out she is a girl!And all for the sake of a 'T'!

Sorry - I don't like Romilly because it's a place name and it would make me think - why there and not Marple or Brinnington?

Same with India - my sister suggested it for my little girl, but I've never been to India and I thought Bury was perhaps more appropriate!

Talia is a lovely name, laughalot. It what DD2 would have been had she ever existed!
