Our eclectic girl’s names list – comments and suggestions welcome.

[Tuesday's Child]

From your list I like Eleanor, Adelaide and Georgia the best. Eleanor fits well with Angus and Harriet.

What about Elizabeth, Lilliana, Julia, Sophie?

[~Jayne~]

I vote to get Claudia back into the list of 'IN' names! bahahaah.

Failing that, Lucinda is my second choice. lol

[Phteven]

There are 2 Georgia's in Mr5's kindy class.

[Amity]

What about Olivia? Angus, Harriet, Olivia?

I think you need a regal name - what about Catherine, Caroline, Elizabeth, Amelia, Hannah, Heather?

I also love: Ellen, Erin, Matilda, Grace, Lucy, Molly (or Mary, Molly for short).

From your list I love Adelaide and April.

[New Dawn]

I have a May born in May, its not so bad she always knows her birthday... as does everyone else...

I love Eleanor, Ellie or Elle for short... My nan was a Eleanor and she was the sweetest kindest woman in the world... Oh and she was beautiful too...

[nickers]

i actually know an April who is born in April! and her mum is July and she was born in July! both names really suit them.
i also think Eleanor goes really well with Angus & Harriet, same type of feel to it iykwim

[Duchess]

My great-grandmother's and the cool 19yo checkout chick have the lovely and slightly different name Elsie
My daughter's name is Jemima.

[corolla_chick]

ariarna? i have a friend by this name

[Cassius2]

i really like eleanor and miranda!

strong yet feminine names...

[Duchess]

I used to have a little cat named antoinette, which reminded me I had a cat named Josephine and still have a dog named felicity. Which is annoying as now I can't use them for my own babies!

[Harriet]

I like Lucinda (after seeing a numberplate saying Lucy on my way home today!)
DP just vetoed

Eleanor is also really nice

Eleanor and Angus do go really well together. That is in fact, my DD's full name! Her middle name is Edith, which I loved as first name too, with nickname Edie. Also one our list were Millicent Mary, Margaret Maeve and Evelyn Elizabeth. No I don't have a thing for alliteration, it just kind of worked that way. Jemima, Imogen and Juliet are on our list for later on, should it be required.

But I am thrilled that so many people love Eleanor. FWIW I intensely dislike the nicknames Ellie and Elle. She gets Nellie, and maybe down the track Nell. And probably, as a rebellious teen, she will go with Elle to annoy me. I'm fully expecting that.

[Trillian]

I love Eleanor, Miranda, Lucinda and Sydney - Sydney was what we were going to call DS2 had he been a girl. And the other 3 go perfectly with the names of the other kids.

Thanks so much again everyone for all your comments and suggestions.

I’m sure that something on the list will be just perfect for her, if she is indeed a girl. (Like I said, we have a short list but need to look at the little creature and see what suits before we decide for sure).

MadB and my hairdresser think it’s a boy and the middle aged tradie behind me in the line at Franklins is absolutely adamant that it’s a boy, so DH and I have been working on our equally eclectic boy’s names list. I post it soon.
