    Baby girl names - feedback required

    I'm due to give birth to a baby girl on Thursday 16/7 (it could happen any day now!) but my husband and I still can't agree on a name. I'm hoping to receive some feedback for the following names:

    Annabelle
    Charlotte
    Amelia
    Olivia
    Liliana

    I already have a 2-year old son called Joshua so we're looking for a name that sounds pretty but also goes well with Joshua. Olivia, Amelia and Charlotte are all quite common at the moment, so we're not sure whether to go for a popular name or something more unique like Liliana or Annabelle.

    Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi, and welcome to Belly Belly!

    From your list, my 2 faves are Amelia, and Olivia. I think Olivia works really well with Joshua too.

    Good luck with the upcoming birth and hope you can decide on a name

    I think Liliana is very pretty...and they both have the "ah" sound at the end of their names

    I am finding it very hard to choose my favorite, I really like them all.

    I love Annabelle, it is one of our top girls names.

    I like Olivia also, I think it goes really well with Joshua.

    Good luck with your decision making and the upcoming birth of your little girl.

    Thanks to everyone for their feedback. I never thought picking a name would be such a stressful process! Annabelle and Amelia seem to be the most popular names according to our family members, but my husband seems to like Olivia. We're thinking of Annabelle Jessica Ruby, Annabelle Olivia Ruby, Amelia Charlotte Ruby or Olivia Charlotte Ruby. I like the name Ruby but my husband isn't as keen so we'll use it as a middle name.

    I know a pair of twins called Josh and Olivia and think they sound right together. If you're going for a more different name, I really like Liliana but only if you don't have a long last name. 4 sylables in the 1st name and a long last name might get a bit much! Lilly is such a lovely shortening. It's one of my favorite girls names but my DH's grandmother had that name and was a royal pain in the ar$e so that one has been vetoed by my hubby!
