help....why are girls names so hard to find? please help me decide

[mum2sam]

i want something girlie and not too common is that so hard. Right here is my list what do you think......any sugeetions welcome.

Sophie
Lucie
Jessica
Jessie
Libby
Summer
imogen

Do you need my surname?

its giving me a headache......

Helen
Helena
Esther
Stella
Isla

lots of Sophies and Jessicas about, although they are nice names.

My favourite in your list is Imogen.

All are nice, think Imogen is the least common.(?)

Like Summer too, very pretty. The fact that it is now a character name in EastEnders does tarnish it somewhat though.

yeah i did like isla as i thought that was unusual-was thinking of jessie as will prob shorten it to that any how

Yes, Isla is lovely.

girls names are easier then boys

surname maybe helpful

yeah i agree i liked summer before that and then she sort of ruined it for me. Even though this baby will be born around xmas do you think i could still call it summer?

cowell and i have a little boy called samuel so would like it to go together iykwim nothing too modern

Thea
Althea
Grace
Esme
Sylvie

Can you tell I find girls names easy...

How about Darcie or Amelie? I went to school with a Kizzie which is girlie but maybe a bit too different

i think from your list Jessie goes well with Samuel

I have a Jessica and a Rebecca, and if DC3 is a girl, will be Emma

Hi

I also like Imogen - but Libby gets my vote as the name is not common and will stay as Libby, you cant really shorten it or lenghten it.

Imogen is the only one i like out of your list, mum2sam.

have a look on this thread. loads of ideas on here

i know a libby. she gets called libs.

I like Imogen and Lucie best, not too common but still nice classic names.

I think girls names as so much easier to pick as more to choose from, now boys i found a nightmare as not really many nice ones to pick from.

Imogen is lovely. i have three girls
robyn she is 18 now and was quite rare when i had her.
i have leighane and erin

I like Imogen & libby out of your list.
I had both on my short list for my DD but settled on Darcie

Lara.

ithink i am callng my little girl lucy(lucinda) but also love the name imogen its so pretty. bit worried as my surnmae is lawrenson
does lucy lawrenson sound ok. plus any suggestions on middle names i would like her to have 2 middle names as i have

I know LOADS of Imogens - common as muck round here
Really like Libby - but would prob call Olivia & shorten, personally.

Find girls names really easy - just too many for number of kids I want.

Like your first 3

I think you're onto a loser with Sophie if you want something not too popular - has been in the top 6 for the last 5 years. Am also wary of the Sam-and-Sophie matching pair.

I've avoided names that start with the same sound/letter as our surname but I can't quite say logically why.

Susanna?
Phillipa?
Helena?
