Help me choose a name!

[marne]

Ok im only 20 wks but had my scan today and am realy excited, dh and i cant agree on any names, we had a boys name but found out we are having another girl, i like
Madison,
Megan,
Tegan,
Grace and
Paige.
Dh would like a simple name like emma.
Can anybody think of a name thats not common but not to different?

ps, chloe and ellie are very popular at the moment, as is libbi/y

If I were to have another girl names on the list would be:-

Monica
Isabella
Emma
Ella
Ellie
Alice
Daisy

oh and forgot:-

Ruby

what about Jane or Janey, thats old fashioned. Ellen?

Chloe is dropping down the popularity charts now though, think it's about 4th or 5th last year.

Have been scouring every name site for a name for DD2 and we are both keen on Talia right now. Not popular at all but not way out there.

Others on my short list are:

Caitlin (DP hates)
Leonie (DP not that keen)
Olivia (as Caitlin) in the top ten too
Charlotte (also in the top ten I think)
Madison (DP not keen)

sorry harpsichordcarrier but there all old fasioned names
but people have there own choices

How about Madeleine? I really like that.

thats nice lonelymum

Oooh, my dd1 is a Madeleine. It's a lovely name, and fits your criterion of being unusual, but not too whacky. It's also easily shortened to Maddie by people who can't spell it (... and there are a few)! I also quite often shorten it to Madge (which is possibly not to most people's taste, but I seem to be drawn to old-fashioned names... my other dd gets called Elsie!).

Also... I got told off by a school-teacher friend, for giving her a name which is hard to spell (not least because she also has a long and un-phonetic surname), but it's actually quite easy. I've taught her to say it as a rhyme...

Em Ay DEE
Ee EL
Ee AY
En EEE

(IYSWIM)

It works, anyway!

Oops, can't spell. Obviously that should have been:

Em Ay DEE, Ee ELL, Ee EYE, En EE...

Hope you know what I mean...

im another fan of the name Emma! unsurprisingly.

but in all seriousness, i do think its a nice name and had i not been called emma myself, it is a name i would choose if i ever had a girl.

like megan also.

we've got 2 girls
Phoebe and Annalise

other names on our list were
Lydia
Olivia
Isabella
Annabel
Elizabeth ( to be called Libby

my faves,

Amelia ( millie)
maisie
lottie
libby
tilly
lydia
