Another name dilemma!

[sweetkitty]

I'm convinced I'm having a girl this time, boys names are sorted (little babe would not let us see it's naughty bits at scan) anyway DP and I are totally stuck on girls names (having used the only one we like for DD1 (???)

Anyway I like Amelia shortened to Millie DP isn't that keen but Millie is the only one he's even half agreed to so far.

But her name would be Millie Reid - do you think she would be called Millipede?

At this rate she'll be about 6 before we agree on a name!

names are SO subjective - I could offer loads of girls names I like - but would you?

I suggest you keep ploughing through those name books

(yes, I do think she would get called millipede!)

we had this prob when i was expecting dd, dh didnt like any of my suggestions and the one he liked, i didnt, i think she would be called millipede..sorry has he even entertained the idea of any other names?

sorry millipede is asking for trouble .. although its a lovely name

I found girl's names almost impossible ..but boy's name I knew by month 3

Amelia is a lovely name in its own right and Amelia Reid sounds fine - runs off the tongue quite nicely actually. Couldn't you reserve Millie for just home?

i had so much trouble finding a girls name, but had a massive list of boys names, we finally settled on emily.

it's weird - I always struggled for boys names

hi well if your going for the 'A' for a girl then how about...Alysha or Anneka

I agree with Lonelymum, Amelia Reid is lovely, and she can be Millie at home

Thanks for your replies it's so difficult I really like Amelia as well, not too fussed about it beginning with an A (I already have an Abbie)I liked Caitlin when I was pregnant with DD.

Oh well back to the name books......

Imogen Reid (Immy)
Mathilda Reid (Tilly)

Hannah Reid also nice

Tilly is nice too

can't have Alysha or Hannah already friends/families babies names

amelia is a lovely name- very girly.

Ooh Twiglett, I LOVE Mathilda and Imogen!!

wanted to call ds2 tilly, but he was a ds and not dd!

Tilly is a lovely name, although i probably wouldn't bother with matilda just tilly.

Nice to have a longer, more formal name for best and CVs when you're older though.

When I hear the name Millie I always think of Millie Dowler - the schoolgirl that was abducted and murdered about 5 years ago - but thats becuase her body was found just down the road from us.

Plus there are alot of Ameilia's and Millie's at the moment.

heres the names I can't have:
Hannah
Stephanie
Natalie
Beth
Jaye
Alysha
Morgan
Erin
Molly
Annabel

DP just cannot decide on a name!

Libby?

i love the names...'

Thea (cant remember who it is on MN that has a LO called Thea, but its so sweet!)

As you are back in Scotland Millie with a Glaswegian accent may be a bit like Willie becoming Wullie only a thought
