Help needed .... to find a girl's name I like!!!!!

Hello everyone ......
I need help .... with 10 weeks to go in this pregnancy I am beginning to think of names for our baby ... and am stuck!!!!
DH and I are pretty much at one with a boy's name that we both like (managed to dissuade DH from Bert and Frank ) so there is no problem there but when it comes to a girl's name we are in serious trouble and if we have a girl I can just see that she won't have a name for months ... bit like Edward and Sophie!!!

What I am after is some suggestions .... I hate baby naming books ... I get to C and fall asleep ... I never get past F!

We are looking for a name that goes with DS's name ... but I really don't want to post DS's name here so that is not really helpful ... sorry
Suffice it to say that his name is a very traditional English name (can think of a few kings that were named this ... not Henry, James or William) .... so I am after a traditional English girl's name ... that isn't too poncy or posh ... something pretty. My favourite girl's name is Rose/Rosie but a very close friend of mine had a baby last month and called her that so DH doesn't think we can have that ....
So ... sorry for the rambling post .... let's have it girls .... I need loads of suggestions!!!
Any ideas for me to start working on .... ????????

I like Alice and Charlotte for names also adored Scarlett wish I'd gone for something more unusall when I'd had dd.

Does liking the name Shireen, make Nikki a Troll???? There is a Scottish newsreader with the name Shireen, I'm not too keen on it myself but I think it is an Indian name (certainly this newsreader is of Asian origin) and WWW did mention she was looking for a name that would go with her DS' Indian name. I didn't think it too odd that Nikki suggested the name.

Don't want to scare off a newbie.

didn't say anything wrong with shireen, I just don't like it personally. Sounds a bit made up to me though I'm sure it isn't. I'm just more of a trad name person.

nikki19 · 08/12/2003 23:17

im not a troll i am genuine i just need a lot of advice at the mo oh and my daughters name is shireen ok.

I love the name Sasha at the moment - tho' ds pronounces it as Shasha - sure he'll grow out of it before I even think about having another one! Also like Ruby and Milly (just realised that's a brand of make -up, hope I don't ever have twin girls!)

I haven't read all the posts - 214 is a little daunting - but for traditional names I do like Faith and Hope.
