Alexandra

[emmyloo2]

My current list of girl's names are soft feminine, girly names: Eve, Rose and Elizabeth. I am then considering more masculine names like Alexandra, Georgina, Harriet. I love girl's names which have a masculine type nn, such as Alex, Hattie, George etc. I also like Louisa, shortened to Lou.

I just can't figure out which I prefer....sometimes I wonder whether the girly names which are sweet for a baby girl are a bit naff when they are older. Like walking into a business meeting and introducing yourself as "Daisy" for example.

Thoughts? Any other suggestions for strong girl's names?

Thanks!

My dd is Alexandra shortened to Alex and she loves it.

You can't go wrong with Alexandra.

I don't like the other names you mentioned (Georgina and Harriet) nearly as much.

Go for it.

But then i'm biased as i have both an Elizabeth and an Alexandra .

Like alexandra. Love Lou , but couldn't conviced DH.
strong names? Caroline, Catherine, Martine/a, Roxanne/a, Elizabeth would be strong and not girly IMO, (I don't necessaraly like them though!)

Catherine was also a consideration - fabulous name in my opinion but it's my dh's borther's girlfriend whom I don't particularly like....but great name. Also the name of my dear aunt who died. Maybe it should go back onto the list!!!

Elizabeth is second on our list I think - fabulous, timeless classic name. Just love it.

God, it's so hard....
