I need your advice on girls names please!
I have always loved the name Hannah, and would love to use it but I don't think it goes with our surname, Hone. So back to the drawing board.
DS is Ollie, well Oliver, but always just Ollie. So Molly is off the list too :ROFL:
DH really likes Matisse, I think it's really pretty, but does it make you think of the artist? Or that we're trying to be french?
Love to hear your other ideas!
Thanks :D
Matisse is pretty but I do think of artist.
Madeline
Audrey
Samantha (Sammie)

I love Matisse. I LOVE IT! I think of the artist.
Hannah and Oliver were on our list. Other girls names were Abby and Eliza.
I think Matisse is beautiful. :)
I was doula for a little bubby boy called Matisse. And his mum is a native French-speaker.

Thanks ladies,
Feeb, absolutely, let's catch up soon!
Samantha is cute, I really like it, actually I like lots of names on your list but unfortunately they are close friends or relatives. Sammie though is added to the list. I also really like Charlotte (or Charli) but dh thinks it's too popular...
Thanks Rouge, it is actually growing on me now.
HotI, Abby is the other name on my list, love it! Have to convince DH though...
Thanks everyone! Keep them coming :D
I think Matisse is lovely.
Madeline
Cordelia

The one name I truly loved and was going to use, until my subconscious came up with another, was Temperance Maeve.
I will try to find the book I wrote all the others in and post again later :)
love Matisse.... i think many names remind people of someone or something but soon she'll come to own it. :)
My other vote is Imogen... my baby girl's name. We call er Immy and DS (who is 2) calls her Mimi... it's so cute!!!
good luck hon.
ox
we have a immogen!!!
I spelt it with 2 m's as it just didnt looked right to me!!
so glad you gals like my DD's name lol
I LOVE Matisse but DH didn't. We went for Milla instead (which I also super dooper love!). And our other twin is a Claudia (I also like Charlotte, but my best friend was due the week after me, and it was the name she has loved forever).
I would stop looking, Matisse is a lovely name and I would definately use it. I love french names.
Ricky Ponting and his wife called their new daughter Matisse. I think it is very pretty.
My DD is called Tara and if one of my twins was going to be a girl we were going to use Eliza. I also liked the name Poppy but my DH didn't like it at all.
As for trying to be french, I wouldn't worry about that. All my kids have Irish/Celtic names - including surname - Tara, Rhys & Liam and my name is Irish as well but we are all true blue Aussies. If you love it then go for it :)
Matisse is a beautiful name!!!
I also love the name Imogen. My DS calls his lil friend Mimmy and we all call her Immy.
I think Matisse would be great, like a lot of names you would initially think of the obvious connection but once you got to know sweet little Matisse she would totally own the name!
Other than that, my girls names sound like they fit in with the flow and rhythm of your other names (well I think so??) - Alannah and Camille.
Thank you so much for all of the beautiful suggestions, there are lots of gorgeous names there! I'm so glad that you all like Matisse too, I haven't talked names with too many people but the one person I mentioned Matisse to screwed up her nose. I should have known better, and stuck to asking you lovely ladies!
I thought picking a girls name was going to be easy, I think it's even harder than boys now that we're actually getting close. It took 4 days to name Ollie so I guess no one will be expecting a name straight away lol.
Charli and Lexie were other names that we thought about. I still haven't found the one name that I just adore, but we have around 6 weeks. Maybe when baby is born a name will just suit her, and then of course I'll adore it. Well, I hope we have 6 weeks, I'm struggling lately, baby is really low, Ollie didn't get this low until I was 12 days overdue!
Matisse is gorgeous :)
The names I've got on my girls list (that haven't been mentioned) are Ivy; Sage; Claire.
GL deciding :)

Well, we're still no closer to deciding.
ds (2.5 years) has decided he wants to call her Bianca. I have no idea where he came up with it, but it sounds so cute the way he says it. I wouldn't have considered it before but now we're seriously thinking about it. I'd love to know where he heard it.
I just wish I could find "the" name.
What do you think of when you hear Bianca? Any other names, normal ish, but not too popular that you can throw in to the mix?
Thanks again for the help!

Our beautiful baby girl arrived on Friday night, 9th of March.
She still has no name!
DH is telling everyone it's Matisse and I just don't think it suits her, and the more he tells people the more I don't want to use it. DS is calling her Bianca. I'm too emotional to make a decision now, it's making me sad that she still doesn't have a name.
Back to the book...
Congratulations on the birth of your precious daughter. Don't feel rushed or pressured to come up with a name. Enjoy your newborn snuggles and getting to know your little one.
FWIW, it took us 6 days to name our second child, and 4 days to name our fourth child.
Congratulations!! Good luck in finding the name that is just right for your little girl xo
I personally don't like Matisse (it's not horrible, just not in my taste). We're struggling for girls names too! My favourites are:
Audrey
Kaya
Claire
Kate/Katie
Isla
Grace
Bit of a mix really! :D
And I didn't read the entire thread! Oops!! Congrats, hope you had a lovely birth :):
Don't be sad you haven't named her yet. You'll think of something!
What about...
Martine
Seren
Macie
Marcie
Tayisa
Madeline
Marissa
Mariessa
Another rude one who didn't notice you had given birth!!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! :D
Congratulations!
Just an idea... I know you said you like Charli, a friend of mine called her daughter Charlize (pronounced Sharleeze..as in the actress) and they call her Charli?
Good Luck!!
Oh hugs hun how exciting!! Congratulations can't wait to meet her!! Will let you off for not coming fri then LOL
Good luck with name
xoxo
Excuse me, are you saying I'm rude!? ;) teehee:
Thanks!!! I am truly in love already, she is absolutely perfect.
Thanks for all of the new suggestions. There are lots of names that I like but DH isn't budging on Matisse. We might have a compromise though, he said he does like Bianca too so we might have a little Bianca Matisse. I'll test out calling her Bianca tonight and see how it fits :)
I do think Bianca Matisse sounds pretty :)
Well you're in good company!!! :lol::
Congrats :)
Don't feel bad not having a name picked out. Our DD3 was Calliope Lotus until I had a scan at 37 weeks and she didn't look like it on the scan!!
So we chucked around a couple of names, and ended up with Sahti Lillian Audrey. But if my sister could pronounce it properly, it would have been Airlea. Or Anakie, I still love that name!
How are you going with names? Any luck yet? :)
This baby is going to be baby no name forever! We had decided on Bianca Matisse, but both dh and I are having trouble actually using her name. We don't know if it's really the best fit so we're holding off announcing it until we're sure that there isn't another name that is a better fit. Poor little girl, she needs a name!
Congratulations on your daughter's arrival :) Don't worry that you haen't chosen a name yet. It's a huge decision, and something she is going to have for life. In the scheme of things, a couple of weeks without a name is nothing compared to how long she will have her name ;)
