We need a girls name

[Chook83]

Hi
We are having a girl and having trouble with choosing names.
Here is what we like so far: Still not 100% sure though.

Ella
Chloe
Belle

Ella and Chloe have been so popular - what are peoples thoughts on Belle?
We prefer short names. If anyone could suggest some that would be great.

My husband and I cant agree on a name.

[Arimeh]

I like Belle - prefer Bella though

[sneakysparkle]

What about Elle?
Or Cleo?
I dont mind Belle.

My DD's name is 8 letters long and yet strange enough i'm actually a huge fan of short names ... (happened to come across her names years ago & just loved it).

My friend has a Chloe whom is 7 now and there are several Chloe's in her school so don't know if that will be so in a few years to come ... so, i'm going to go with BELLE (though i second Arimeh & i too prefer BELLA)

Other fav short names;

Mia
Tess
Aria
Elise
Hope
Maya
Rian
Kya

[JellyBean]

Ayla (like a mix of Ava and Ella)
Asha
Esmae/Esmay
Jaiya
Jaime
Jaice
Jade/Jayde
Kayla
Kaya
Kasey
Keisha
Lia
Mahlie
Tahlie/Tali
Zoe

I also prefer Bella to Belle.

What about

BRIELLE

pronounced Bree-elle

Hi thank you for your suggestions and input . Will see what DH thinks.

I too prefer Bella to Belle but DH is not too sure on it. I didnt think he would be so fussy. I expected to be able to suggest a name that i loved and him to say ok. Although he doesn't make any suggestions.

What are your thoughts on the name Alexis?

Do you think its normal be put off a name due to its popularity at this time?

[MusicMuma]

Well I love Ella our Ella gets Elle most of the time. My first DD gets Tahli which is short i guess. I prefer Belle over Bella My friends daughters name is Alex, i prefer that a little over Alexis
Goodluck!

[Bronzdbebe]

I have a girlfriend whose DD is named Kyanna and she gets bella as her nick name..I love both.

I LOooooooove Mia as a name....Fingers are crossed for a pink one next time.

I also like Lyla, Eva, Ava, Ruby...It's a bit longer but DH likes Willow...I'm warming to it.

[Chook83]

Melly - thanks, i do love the name Ella, DH prefers it to any i have suggested. Iseem to be seeing it alot ( maybe this is because i am aware of it)

Bronzdbebe - Mia is so cute, we cant use this as its already in the family. I too like Lyla, Eva and Ava but DH is fussy (already suggested these). Ruby will be the middle name (after DH grandma) i would love Ruby as a first name but DH prefer as middle.
Willow is a nice name i like Harlow too.

Another thought...

If you wanted a formalish First name and a nickname maybe another option for Alexis could be Alexandra and then you could have Ali or Alex for short?

I also like the name Peyton....Maybe I'm a little addicted to One Tree Hill LOL!!

Charlotte you get Charlie or Lotte, Scarlette is pretty too.

Abigal..Abbey...

Amelia is pretty too.

Maddison or Madeleine....Madi is cute.

My Dh was hard to get a yes out of too, I've always loved the name Zane and was scared to tell him incase he crushed my fave name...Luckily he loved it and we now have a Zane. Heaven help me if he hated it, DS would probably still be nameless LOL.

[Chook83]

I think Alexandra a bit too formal :-)

I like Charlotte but i dont love it enough, Matilda is nice.

You are so luck y DH loved your fave name

is one tree hill a movie?

[~clover~]

What about Ellie

Shae
Layne
Leah
Bridee
Kayla
Zoe
Mia
Maya
Asha
Anna

[Rachel]

I like Ella then Belle (not a fan of Bella)..not a fan of chloe.

Other ideas are:

Beth
Eve/Eva
Abbie
Grace
Anja
Maja
Mieke
Ava

[JordieC]

My cousin had a Belle recently and it's so cute - she calls her Tinker Belle or Tink for short. I like that!

[honeychild79]

Oh i really love Belle.
Next choice would be Ella, its on our list. (a friend has a belle).
I dont like chloe sorry.

[Chamberry]

I really like Belle I think the other two are also beautiful but alot more commen.

Good luck

[Chook83]

Thank you for your thoughts - i like Belle but wonder what people would think of it. DH is ok with it allthough he prefers Ella and i do like it but the fact its so common puts me off. My mum isn't so keen on Ella ( which should not matter)
