Girls Name - Need to find the one!

Hiya,

I have just found out that bubby is likely to be a girl (if not then that is okay as I have my boy name all picked our ready I was so sure this one was another boy! LOl) and we have an absolutly HUGE list of girls names, but absolutely no clear favourite. I keep imagining the birth notice and I just have a big blank! My DS is Alexander Ethan and I knew that almost from day 1.

I need some suggestions badly as I keep hoping that the right name is out there I just haven't seen it yet. I like feminine names that won't date too badly but are not too popular (ie. I adore Chloe, Ava and Sophie, but they are a bit overused at the moment IYKWIM). :pray:

Some I have found lately include:
Annaliese/Annalie
Saffron
Taisie
Taisse (Tay is)
Tansy
Sage
Aeris (Air ris)
Aeryn (Air ren)
Amelie
Tansy
Ariana
Adele

As you can see, I am quite keen on A and T starting names (no idea why, so don't let it stop you suggesting something nice starting with something else..);)

Thanks in advance!

I personally like the ones below, but it's your choice - Good luck with choosing!

Ariana
Annaliese/Annalie
Saffron
Aeris (Air ris)
Aeryn (Air ren)

from your list I think I like Aeris and Sage the best.

What about...
Meave
Ariel
Holly

annabel
arrabella
tilly

My little girl is Tess Alice. She was going to be Alice Tess or Tess Alice.

I also like Molly and Ruby (although lot's of Ruby's now).

Good luck, congrat's on your little girl.

I like Ariana and Adele from your list, others i like are:
Elliana
Arielle/a
Shayla
Elouise

From your list i like Adele, Amelie and Annelise. How about
Alice
Allegra
Anastasia
Audrey
Catherine
Estelle

Some more here ;

Arabelle
Bree
Claire
Cendrine (my DD's name :dance:)
Erin
Helena
Lyla
Peta
Tess
Trelise (my all time fav)
Terese

I LOVE Tansy - I only heard of it for the first time a few weeks ago, which, after 10 years in childcare makes it definitely not an over-used name! For me it ticks all the boxes - unusual but classic, and not too tricky to spell.

I also love Tessa.

I like Annalise and Annalie. My DD is Leila Annalise.

I like Amelie or Ariana from your list.

I do like Ava too... pity that it's used a bit now.

But if i ever get a baby girl I will call her Caitlyn Ava T....... ( < our last name. )
or Caitlyn Amber T........

Amalie
Amelia
Amelie
Anabel
Annabelle
Audrey
Analiese
Aude
Alice

Tabitha
Tess
Tahlia
Tennesha
Tamara

What about Adeline, that is DH little cousins name and I just adore it

Tori is a good name too (but hey Im biased)

Thanks heaps for all the suggestions and comments girls! :hug:

I am lost in a sea of names at the moment but seem to have managed to get my shortlist down to:

Georgiana
Amelie
Amieka
Elara
Giselle
Paige
Quinn
Taisse
Tansy
Abigail
Anneliese

What do you think? I am hugely concerned about giving her a name that she will have to spend the rest of her life explaining ("no its Amelie, not Emily", "no, it is pronouned Tay is, not Tassie", "no, it is Amieka, not Anieka". and so on....) but want something that is not overly common. Wow!! Finding this SO much harder than last time..

My DS is Alexander, and I've had a few people comment that I shouldn't use an A starting name for our daughter... We just like the sound and how it goes with our surname (which starts with a D and has an 'er' ending) but wondering if they are right.. Are we stiffling her individuality??

I personally love Annaliese best from your list ;). I have an Anelise and everyone comments on how pretty her name is.

Other names I like from your list are Elara & Amelie.

Ellie
Ella
Taice
Lacey
Angela
Anna
Amber
Tilly
Telitha
Tyla
Tione (ti oh nee)
Tiara
Teelah
Tatum

I tend to agree with the friends who suggest another first intial other than A. Letters come in the mail with just a first intial and surname... maybe it won't bother you if something comes in the mail addressed to A Surname... but it was something I didn't want any confusion over in our house hold. Also school/clubs often print A Surname on trophies and award boards. There might be a plaque that lists A Surname up at your kids school and everyone might wonder which child it was. Oh and on our medicare card it just lists our kids intitials because we have a long surname...glad they all have different ones or it would be confusing.

Quinn is interesting. Lots of great suggestions too.... love Tabitha.

I like Amelie from your list best.....but Amelia is my FAVE name of all time but DH hates it (bah humbug) anyhoo...

We also have Abigail and Tabitha on our list.....

I DID have a dog named Tansy many years ago so I can't shake the pooch link there, but it's still a pretty cool name :)

Good luck...I'm struggling this time too!

Tiera (pronouced like Kira with a T, /pronouced & spelt as the tier of a cake, Tiera - My DD's name)
Tahlia
Taylee
Tyra
Tamsyn
Leila
Lillian
Leah
Alexis
Andelle
Alia
Alira
Mandy
Maisy
Mindy
Scarlet
Bethany
Casey
Nelle

I like Amelie the best - really pretty!! :D

Well I have to choose Amelie (it's DDs name). I love it!

BUT if you are worried about having to spell / tell how it is pronounced all the time, you'll have trouble with this one! Everyone thinks it is Emily first time around if I tell them the name verbally. When it is written, people try to pronounce it Amelia, but get stuck with the 'e', LOL! So, not great for that.

On the other hand it is also getting more popular, which will help with the pronunciation - hopefully by the time DD needs to use it on her own. But this also means the name is not as original as it seemed a couple of years ago! Already met 5 or so Amelie's and she's only 2.

I agree that two A names may be slightly difficult for the reasons Bath mentioned, but hey go with what you like!

I have such similar taste in names to you!

I'm a fan of Amelie and Giselle from your list - the movie has helped with the pronunciation of Amelie, and I think it's super pretty. Even together - Amelie Giselle. I also love Abigail. Two A-names could be tricky, but I once knew a family with 4 boys beginning with R and they managed to work out the mail every time! I think go with what you love :)

Just a thought, how about Amira (It's arabic and means princess) or Tahlia.

D

I like... Annaliese, Sage, Amelie and Saffron. I also like Paige as a middle name

My DD2 is Annabelle Sage, she was almost called Annalise Sage.

Abby / Abigail

Aiesha ( i love this name but DH doesn't)

I noticed that on your list in your very first post, you actually wrote Tansy twice. Maybe it's a sign...? ;)

i used to babysit a sage, she was very cute.
i also love Arianna

also...

Addison/Adyson
Allira
Amy (my name :p)
Aaliah (pron Ar lee ah)
Tahryn
Tahnee
Tori
Teneal
Tahlitha
Sienna

This poor baby is NEVER going to get named! :wall: There are some lovely names here! Thanks for all the suggustions!:lol:

I think the problem is our surname with it's er ending, which really spoils the sound of a lot of gorgeous names! :doh:

DH is a tad conservative and I don't like names that are really popular, so this has narrowed the field a bit. Georgeanna is the current fav (not sure on spelling yet), but is a bit of a mouthful with Alexander!

Wish me luck! I keep thinking that I will know the RIGHT name when it comes along..
