Your 3 favorite Girls names?

184 replies

Mrsjaffabiffa · 07/04/2007 13:50

I have been trawling name websites and we are still undecided on a girls name, we have a couple of likes but have not found one that we are really happy with. I know there are lots of name threads all the time but if you don't mind disclosing your 3 favorite girls names just something may catch my eye.

Alternitively, any suggestions. We live in France so a name that would work both well in the UK and here would be good. We have a Harrison and a Maddie now and we have a boys name sorted.

Thanks

Charlotte and Isla are my absolute favourite girls names at the minute. Can't think of a third 'fav' though. Like May for a middle name.
Other names I like (but probs won't use) are:

Juliette
Hermione
Gracie
Willow
Gloria
Nicole
Lila
Thea
Aria

springbean · 09/04/2007 23:09

Violet - dd's name
Pearl - future dd's name
and Iris - if I have a third!

Absolutely gorgeous!!

Apart from my dds I like

Anna
Kate
Nina

chocolateface · 09/04/2007 23:20

I really like Electra but DH was having none of it.

Luxmum · 10/04/2007 11:06

I like Madeleine, Angelique and the way the French pronounce Anges (Anyes). Phoebe is lovely (but a bit tainted after Friends). I'd like to go for Alva personally, or Amandine. I'm really stuck for names at the mo, so I hope more inspiration comes soon. A colleague suggested Nayla, or Maeva, which are lovely, but wouldn't get past DH.

Flumpybumpy · 10/04/2007 11:11

Caitlin
Scarlett
Sophie
Millie
Holly

So glad I had a girl as I didn't like any boys names, then I went and had a boy

skidaddle · 11/04/2007 08:10

Cameroonmama,

I think you're right , no-one will have heard of it but it's still a lovely name, don't you think? Do you know it from Cameroon? I know it from Tanzania.

FillyjonkIsMilitantAboutFruit · 11/04/2007 08:17

I like loads of names, but the more unsual ones (dd's aside) would be

jemima
gloria
hope
dorothy

cameroonmama · 11/04/2007 10:44

skiddadle, dh is Kenya born and we have spent a lot of time there and in Tz, Uganda, Ethiopia. Its a very pretty name, just not sure it would go with our surname which is very British

Cocobear · 11/04/2007 10:48

Oh, skidaddle, everyone will be singing her that song - Malaika, nakupenda Malaika...

It's a tempting name nonetheless.

Marne · 11/04/2007 10:51

Saffron (my dd2's name)
Daisy
Megan

rosealbie · 11/04/2007 11:01

Marne, we almost chose Saffron for our dd but went for Willow instead

madame · 11/04/2007 11:04

Scarlet

Nancy

Théa my dd's name
