I have named 3 boys... so why can't I decide on a girls name and be happy with it for more than 2 weeks? :0/ Am not enjoying this at all....

With my boys I had 2 or 3 names we liked and managed to settle on one from about 36 weeks onwards - was nice toname the baby, get used to using the name, sort of giving the bump an identity.

Now I am 36 weeks preg with a girl and I just can't settle on anything for long. I think 'Yes! That's the name' then the more I think about it I end p thinking it's a bit boring and now the baby is un-named again - last 2 weeks she has been called Lydia.

Others include: Elle, Livia, Alexa/Alexis, Lily, Violet and DH threw Avril into the mix last night...

Why can't I do this when I have done it just fine 3 time sin the past?

I feel like I am 'unprepared'.

SE13, interesting that your DH hasnt come across this teasing in school.

We had briefly considered Lydia for our DD, but BIL who is a teacher put us off it for the 'Lydia Chlamydia' connection. The Lydia he taught tried to hang herself due to the chlamydia name calling

It wasnt something I had connected the name with, and I was surprised teenagers would even know about CHlamydia, but apparently there is a big campaign targetting teenagers about this, with posters everywhere.

Or Elodie NN Ellie even?

I will probably drop Lydia then on that note as I know if chlamydia came up and it were my name I would be absolutely devastated.

On Sienna - does anyone actually think it's a pretty name? Miller aside?
She is not a famous porn actress or anything dodgy is she? I didn't even think she was that 'big'?

Boman doesn't seem to put people off Edith and I personally find her irritating on the radio.

How common is Annabell and do you think Annabell suits all ages? I guess it would be changed to Anna or Belle?

I think Sienna is a lovely name.

The link to Miller is just a recent thing - and let's face it, it's not like she is an actress of note nor is ever going to be, so I doubt the connection with her will linger (and certainly not amongst children)

Lila?

Lydia is a great name. Maybe you'll relike one of your discarded names once she's born. I did.
