What are people naming their newborn baby girls....

[bebejam]

...sorry for another name thread.... but I'm due (today!) and we are still struggling with names. TBH, I'm not too worried, but DH seems to be getting a bit manic about it. :-)

What are the most common names of baby girls being born this year that you know. Which names do you like (and which do you think are a bit overdone?)

All, any, and every kind of help very appreciated!

I like
Aimee
Megan
Paige
Bronwyn

seem to be quite a lot of jessica's

Lots of Maddie's at the mo

a lot of rebecca's around at the moment.

our girls list is:

susan
elizabeth
fiona
jennifer
kris
lucy (favourite)

Ellie
Jessica
Emily
Sophie
Holly
Chloe
Katie
Megan
Charlotte

Top girl names so far this year according to Bounty.

I prefer more unusual names though. We've chosen Tabitha so far if bump is a girl.

I also like

Samantha & charlotte

I like Juliet, Harriet, Henrietta. Have only met one tiny Juliet and none of the other two.

Unlike Maddy, Evie, Isabel. No shortage of them.

Can't move for Eleanors around here.

LOL spidermama!

Caoimhe - pronounced Keeva
Ciara - pronounced Keera
Aoife - Pronounced Eefa
There are a lot of Amy's around too, and Saoirse's - pronounced Seersha(it means freedom)

well if i have another girl we like:

Helen, Kate, Elizabeth, Kitty

I should add a caveat here, as I know my husband likes to browse around mumsnet on his lunch hour... and I think he knows my moniker.

• honey, if you read this... I meant "manic" in the nicest possible way. :-) I think it is sweet that you are so interested in finding the right name for the baby.

P.S. I think you are going to make a great dad.

Okay, that said.. back to the mission at hand!

I like Olivia, Imogen, Eve.

Any twinges yet bebejam

ooh Enid - both my own names are in your favourites!!!

I like Hannah, Grace, Elizabeth, Sarah, Annabel, Charlotte, Mary & Emily

LOVE Irish names too but DH tends to veto them. Eldest DD has Aisling for middle name and third DD has Niamh - compromise.

I also like Dara which means "old rock" but DH thinks that's completely barmy.

quite like josephine too

Are you Irish though allyco? Think very Irish names can sound a bit daft in you've no connection to the place.

mine girls are called nicole louise, lauren jade and serena dixie. not sure if thats any help to you tho.

Mine would have been Annabel Oriele and Sophia Amy......but we had 2 boys instead.

Cassidy (Cassie)
Edie
Daisy

Enid has my name and the names of both of my daughters there! We went for "classic" on the grounds that there are lots of variations on each for them to choose if they don't like the long versions. Both have unusual middle names

So far we've only had three girls born this year, everyone's been having boys! The girls are Stephanie, Isabella and Isabelle (the two Izzie's mums don't know each other btw)

we've got Phoebe and Annalise

Tinker - yes I am !!!

BUT DDs have irish names only as middle names as I think otherwise would have spent half their lives eplaining how to say/spell them to other people . My middle name is Bridie.

he, he, he....

There are some lovely Irish names out there, but if I named my daughter Aoife or Saoirse my sweet old MIL would probably have a massive stroke, not kidding.
