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

[Epacris]

Argh, we are having so much trouble with girl’s names (actually and boy’s names too but I want to sort out girls first). We like to have a list of about 5 names and then when the babe pops out we try them on for size and see what fits (DS - Angus and DD - Harriet were the very last names on their respective lists). All the other names that were on the list for DD I’ve now gone off.

A few rules: must go with Angus and Harriet, must not be too popular.

This is what we’re left with:
Lucinda
Violet
Elise (my fave, DH hates it)
Cassandra
Eleanor
Adelaide
Miranda
Georgia
Sydney
April (the babe will be born in April and I kind of think it’s weird to have the same name as your birth month but DH is very keen on this because he is absolutely hopeless with dates (doesn’t even know his own birthday/age) and says it’s one less thing he’ll have to remember, not that he remembers anything like that anyway ).

On the list for DD but I’ve now gone off:
Madeline
Claudia

Recently vetoed (by me or DH):
Zoe
Genevieve
Paige
Laura
Lauren
Clementine
Dorothy
Hazel
Phoebe
Elaine
Ariane
Penelope
Deborah
Cordelia

Like but can’t have (close family member’s name):
Evangeline
Holly
Louise

[Phteven]

Do you like Cordelia?
Elspeth?
Flora?
Iona?

You've got Adelaide on your list which is a lovely name but it starts with an A. You said no A's

My faves from your list are Georgia and Adelaide.

[Rouge]

Eloise?

[Epacris]

Do you like Cordelia?

Love it but DH vetoed it a while ago, I’ll put it on the veto list.

You've got Adelaide on your list which is a lovely name but it starts with an A. You said no A's.

I'm such an nong, I didn't even notice. I love it too and I think DH is quite keen as well. Better go and change the rules.

ETA: AND there's an April on there too. Rules are meant to be broken aren't they.

[*Ash*]

My faves are Adelaide and April! Both A names....Are you OK with A names now?
What about Bronte, Saffron, Isobel, Elena?

ETA yes, rules are meant to be broken! So what about Audrey or Avalon?

[Epacris]

Thanks Rouge and Ash, yep, like those suggestions.

Yep, A names are A.OK. now.

[Mum2SweetCs]

[*Ash*]

Sabrina, Cassidy, Aria (I know, it's a bit Record Industry Assoc- ish), Kess, Arabella?

[Amy_jellybean]

[feeb]

A friend has a Harriet and Eleanor they go very well together.

How about:
Sadie
Amelie
Sybella
Myfanway
Alwyn

[MummyNaomi]

Myfanway?
Feeb - how would you pronounce that?

[Roryrory]

Can I throw my name in? There aren't enough of us - I have met two in my life....

[Kel001]

Nella?

MummyNaomi - you would pronounce Myfanway: Mih-van-weh. It's a welsh name, traditionally spelt Myfanwy or Myfanweh. It means 'My Little Lovely One'. I quite like it. The only person I am aware of who has the name is Myf Warhurst from Spicks and Specks TV show and JJJ Radio...

As above allready answered for me.

I have met a little girl called Myf

[MummyNaomi]

Cool, thanks girls, hadn't come across that one before

[onthefly]

I like A and E names.
April is really nice. Elise too.
My unused girls names are Ara and Eleni

But I think you're having a boy...

[<3 Mumofthreetobe <3]

I quite like Miranda from you're 'what we're left with' list.

Another name I heard just a few weeks ago that I liked but have never heard of before was Elke and a name I really like is Eloise.

[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?
