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

OMG!!!! I didn't even know you were expecting!! Congrats - putting my thinking hat on for baby names and will get back to you.

Oh, I love Eleanor. That was on our list.

If you're not keen on April, would you consider Avril?

I pick Adelaide for the top of the girls names. Its classic & regal. Goes well with your other kids names.

Good luck deciding!! Its so hard coming up with the right fit. :hug:

I love Violet and Adelaide :heartbeat:

Another for the mix is January, I have a dear friend by this name and I love it :heartbeat:

Out of your list I like:

Lucinda
Eleanor
Miranda
Georgia

Georgia is pretty popular though. Have you looked up the meanings? Miranda - worthy of admiration; Lucinda - light/giver of light; Eleanor - shining light; Georgia - farmer.

Miranda and Lucinda are my especial favourites, but are you okay if these get shortened (ie Lucy)? Miranda was on my list for Lucy! Yoy like a lot of the girls names I like.

PS I know little girls named Georgia, Adelaide, Eleanor, Lucinda/Lucy (more than just mine too!) and Violet. These days, you could pick a name that isn't "common" but because it's traditional you might come across other little girls with the same name anyway!

I love Lucinda!! ;)

I think that Eleanor goes really well with your other childrens names.

From your list I like Lucinda, Violet, Eleanor, Georgia, Madeline, Clementine & Dorothy.

I think Dorothy will go lovely with Harriet.

I also LOVE Emmaline, Pearl, Delilah, Talullah & Cadence.

I love :heartbeat: Lucinda, Violet, Elise, Cassandra and Miranda
I think of those Lucinda and Elise go best with Angus and Harriet
Have fun choosing :leap:

How about Lillith and Audrey

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

Failing that, Lucinda is my second choice. lol

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

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.

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...

My fave's out of your list...

Eleanor is my fave girls name that I don't already have, but can't ever use is as its my cousin's name! It is so beautiful and feminine!

Violet is pretty and I do love April, but agree its a little weird if she's born in April (although I have heard of Mae born in May, that too is a pretty name!)
Zoe is pretty too.

I think their are soooooooooooooooo many Georgia's around these days, its pretty but if you're looking for something not too popular then I definately would not go with this one.

Theres my 2 cents worth!!! :D GL with it all!

I like Isis or Isla.
But I also like most of the names on your list too.

Awww... thanks so much everyone for all your helpful replies (I feel all spesh). :hug:

Hmmm.... I didn’t realise some of these names are already really popular. Oh well...

And I am surprised at how many of you like April and Adelaide. :think: Maybe they are about to be in the next wave of popular names.

Thanks so much for all of your excellent suggestions too. I’ve got heaps more now to take to DH.

Rory – You know, I was thinking of Aurora but didn’t put it on the list, it was just one in the back of my mind, so I ran it by DH and he immediately vetoed. :rolleyes: But it’s OK because one veto is not enough, I reckon he has to veto three times before I’d consider it totally off the list, so I’ll pick my next suggestion moment carefully. :lol:

MadB – Thanks for Eleni. It’s not all that long now till we see if we even actually need this list. :D

From your list, I think Eleanor goes the best with Angus & Harriet :D
I do love Lucinda, too ;)

Georgia is super popular - when I was teaching, I taught up to 5 Georgia's at once, and I know of 3 others (friends kids and my niece) - although they are all spelt 'Jorja'.

Maaaaaaybe you won't need this list and little Basil will arrive instead :p

Maybe Greer?

Also Molly, Mabel, Peta, Maisie

Good luck
