From your list I love the following:

Scarlett
Heidi
Rae
Aurora
Remy
Tabitha
Lovely names & not particularly common either Smile

Megan2018 · 24/02/2019 16:58

Of your list I like:

Olivia
Evelyn
Tabitha
Meredith
Beatrice
Heidi
Mabel

Beatrice is on mine.

I’ve never seen Ethal spelt that way, only Ethel. It reminds me of the Worst Witch books.

Meredith is my absolute favourite girls name and DP won't let me use it 😢 so I say go for that! It's beautiful and not overused.

BlueMerchant · 24/02/2019 17:06

Heidi is beautiful
Scarlett is lovely
Olivia is lovely but v.popular where I live
Esther is a nice.
Rae is a lovely mn

I'd choose Heidi Rae

PuzzlingPuzzle · 24/02/2019 17:12

Scarlett - like
Constance - don’t like
Olivia - nice but ubiquitous
Evelyn - love it but it’s becoming quite popular
Tabitha - a cat’s name to a lot of people but I really, really like it
Meredith - quite nice
Damson - awful
Ethal - isn’t it Ethel? regardless it’s ugly
Beatrice - love this, my favourite
Heidi - nice
Rae - nickname for Rachel? doesn’t look complete its own right
Ada - ugly
Mabel - a cow’s name
Aurora - not really my taste but it’s fine
Remy - a French boy’s name that I really do not like
Esther - ok, not as nice as some of the other names on your list

Hi OPSmile

From your list I love these-

Olivia
Tabitha
Damson
Beatrice (Bea for short is so cute!)
Heidi
Aurora (have you considered Aurelia also?)

Though obviously it’s up to you two at the end of the day! I have some names in mind for ours but we won’t know sex til he or she is born, but DH said I could have the perfect name picked and maybe it wouldn’t suit the baby 😂 plenty of people do pick names first but I get what he means.

Babycakes1989 · 24/02/2019 17:26

All nice names!! I especially love Remy or spelt Remi for a girl 😍 Remi June was one of my faves x

Babyno2mamabear · 24/02/2019 19:27

@PuzzlingPuzzle - although quite blunt and to the point I did have to laugh at your analysis there 😂 I actually LOVE the "cow" name Haha!! I've never heard of Mabel the cow?! Although OP if you want unusual then Mabel is growing in popularity, we have 3 or 4 at our nursery. I love Meredith too. X

Hairwizard · 24/02/2019 19:38

@puzzling your reply made me lol too! Esp the mabel verdict.

Only name that i didnt really like on there was rae. Girl i know has called her 2nd dd karly rae. Fucking awful and chavvy as fuck.

Ribbonsonabox · 24/02/2019 19:41

I love Constance the best.. then I quite like Ada and Mabel.

PuzzlingPuzzle · 24/02/2019 19:48

😂 no offence to any small Mabels. In my 30-ish year lifespan I have known 3 cows called Mabel. The first belonged to my Grandparents’ next door neighbours. I only know the one at this exact moment in time and she resides at the petting zoo opposite DD’s nursery. It also probably doesn’t help that I’ve never met a human Mabel. I do actually quite like the sound of the name, I just can’t shake the cow association. Maybe that’s just me though??

Babyno2mamabear · 24/02/2019 20:21

@Puzzling....this has literally made my day! Thank you! I think it's definitely an association thing for you but it is hilarious!

beanaseireann · 24/02/2019 20:40

Heidi

myotherbagisgucci · 24/02/2019 21:14

I like Meredith & Remy.

Smile
GabbyGal · 25/02/2019 11:30

My favourites on your list are Evelyn, Olivia and Mabel. It’s great that you have so many that you like to choose from. So far we have two boys names (one we each prefer) and one girls name I’m not 100% set on.

littlemoon86 · 25/02/2019 11:56

I love Remy too! There was a really sweet little girl called Remy on Masterchef Junior🙂

beanaseireann · 25/02/2019 19:39

I prefer Romy to Remy

Babycakes1989 · 25/02/2019 19:46

Reeva is also really pretty I think but I know too many people with ‘reeves’ surnms 😂😂

underoverunder · 25/02/2019 19:59

I have met a human Mabel and it's a great name for her.

Of your list I really like Constance and Heidi. I know a few Constances/Connies and they are lovely.

If you like Remy - what about Clemmie?

Camellia5 · 25/02/2019 20:01

Scarlett ✔️ Love it 😍
Constance - like it, although a bit old fashioned
Olivia - One of my favourites, such a beautiful name. Very popular though.
Evelyn - Beautiful
Tabitha - nice
Meredith - Love it, especially for a woman, rather than a young girl
Damson ✖️ Don't like
Ethal - like, but I thought it should be spelt Ethel. Perhaps I'm wrong!
Beatrice - Only ok
Heidi - I adore it
Rae ✖️
Ada ✔️ Beautiful
Mabel ✔️
Aurora ✔️
Remy ✖️
Esther ✔️ Like this, haven't heard it since school

Good choices OP.

Thanks for passing 5 minutes of my time Grin
