Nope! Still got a few sort-listed but probably end up being sumthin completely different lol. Hope you n tayla are doin well :)

My little one was going to be Marnie 'cept "she" ended up being a "he"!!!!!

other names i considered were:

Kitty
Arawen
Arwen
Deryn

my daughter is called Briony.

hope you have found something you like:)

.....................

I also loved aoife (ee-fa), saw it on the vicar of dibley once. :)

just been reading through this thread and some of the names - :love: ! My OH likes traditional names so I went along with it with the first two but put my foot down with the third as I'm sick of meeting every other kid with the same names lol, so she ended up a Nataliya Rose (she was born at christmas). I'm a Leila (pronounced Layla) so I'm used to having a fairly unusual name.
Other names that were always on my shortlists were: Caitlyn Summer (shortened to Caity), Leonie, Liberty, Mia, Rosalyn, Rosalie, Evelyn, Genesis (shortened to Genny) Christiana (MIL is Christine) Naomi, Ashleen (I like the irish spelling of Aisling as well). I have neices called Lacey and Dakota, love those as well! Good luck and if I think of anymore I'll add them here!

I only have 6 days til the little one is evicted and STILL not settled on a name! :blush: God, we're cr*p"!

if my bump was a girl my top girls names were Matilda or Maggie

I like Heather :D

My girls (I have three)

Kelsie- means a small hamlet , scottish. Variant : Kelsey (usually for boy)

Kiri - means skin in Maori (sung during the rugby chanting the 'all blacks' do)

Kiana-means Leopard in Kenya (I was told). Variants : Kyana,Quiana,Kayanna.

Their middle names have meaning too

Candy-as she was sweet as (emphasis on was :D just kidding!)

Honey- she smelt like warm honey spread on toast (she had dirtied her nappy :gag: but parents heh?)

Caramelle- After someone called Carmel I admired.

They also retain the Kay as a hyphenation to their first names, this is because of a family tradition, Kay was a family surname.

All three love their unusual names.

Don't worry so much about the name, one will come to you that you have never even thought of and you will love it. That's what happened to us, we didn't have any names we were struck on, but found the perfect name during labour, as our Midwife was called Rowan and we both loved it and luckly she was a girl so we used it. It suits her as well. We used our original choice as her second name - but secretly I'm glad as I'm not so keen on it.

I remember someone saying to me "think about when they're a bit older and you're shouting their name out in the supermarket" Some of the names are lovely but it's got to be something you're comfortable with and which also goes well with your surname.

I like Summer for a girl as well as Lily (that was my grandmothers name and she hated it) but I always thought it was lovely. A friend of mine called her daughter Brogan and it really suits her.

Hi
Can anyone help ive got 14 week left and have no idea what we're going to call baby yet. I like unusual names and want something really girly. I just have no ideas what to call her!

If you do a search I think we've got a girls names thread somewhere, it had a lot of ideas.
Have a look and see what you think.

I am 4 days overdue and still have no name for a girl!

Just prior to merging threadsthere are two, one titled Names for the girls and the other titled Any ideas for girls names.
Merge to come.

Hope
Frankie
Poppy
Daisy
My daugher is Antonia
Isabella
Gabriella
Francesca
Cheree
Charlie
Grace
Charity
Clarisse.
Just a few suggestions

my youngest is nataliya rose :)

I'm a Rosalind... Apparently it means "pretty rose".

I don't particularly like it but it is quite unusual and my parents love it.

I like that honey :) My friend was gonna have Nataliya but then changed her mind. It's pretty :) They did end up choosing a foreign name which they shorten to Rose tho (daddy is Iranian)

A good way to get names is to read the credits at the end of films and tv programmes. always gives me good ideas :D :D :D

Hi
Can anyone help ive got 14 week left and have no idea what we're going to call baby yet. I like unusual names and want something really girly. I just have no ideas what to call her!


My daughters are savanna & Tianni

I also recently named my friends baby, I called her Alexa

Choose a name that is a-easy for them to learn to spell, and b- a name that they can grow up with and will suit them as much when they are a 70 yr old than as a babe in arms.

My 2 girls are Kelsey Lauren Lucie and Megan Olivia Rose (they are 18 and 15)

Hi there
my 14 year old daughter is Amarni skye Angelique. Marni for short. I am 10 weeks pregnant and am clueless what to call this baby.

Hi there
my 14 year old daughter is Amarni skye Angelique. Marni for short. I am 10 weeks pregnant and am clueless what to call this baby.

That is beautiful - I love Amarni or the shortened 'Marni'. Would have liked to have called my daughter that. :)

i have 4 girls called Tegan, Jayna, Taysia and Shilah.x

My little monster is called Michelle Tiani.
The Tiani is part of my wife's name.

We had the same problem when I was pregnant. We didnt have any name at all that we really liked for a girl just boys names and luckly we had a boy. This time we have girls names we like and only 1 boys name. But by the time I get pregnant again It will probably be a different story.

Have you tried buying a baby naming book or getting 1 from the libary. We bought a book and it had some crazy names in it, like Moonunit, whitelighting, woof, etc..

Have you thought of Maisie, Carly, Zara or Molly

I like Rose for a middle name

I LOVE Rose as a middle name, its my youngests middle name! It is getting more popular though.

hey
I have always loved the names Imogen and Lily and my OH has always liked Skye and Mea so for the twins we are having Imogen Skye and Lily Mea i just hope they suit the twins when they arrive.

My little pumpkin is called Molly Rose. I have loved the name Molly for a very long time so when I found out I was having a girl there was no complications in choosing her name. Her middle name was a bit difficult though. We tried all sorts of combinations, saying them out loud to see if they had that ring to them, but Molly Rose was the best!

I like the name Molly Rose :)

I know you do! You told me on facebook! :P

Well I thought I'd tell you again :)

If I had a little girl her middle name would've been Rose - after my dear nan and it is also my sister's middle name. :)

I still like the name Nancy.

Might be a long shot, but does anyone have any ideas for "different" girls names? Only got less than 4 weeks before induction and have NO IDEAS whatsoever! Everything I've suggested so far, OH doesn't like, and he's not come up with anything I like either! I like things that are a little different, but not too "out there." As an idea, we called our last daughter Kennedy.... :help:

i love the names oliviar, fay, and lydia

Hi can anyone help me find a lovely elegant girls name? :D

I'm probably not much help, I don't like any 'modern' names haha.

My sister is expecting with her fiancee, it is gonna be naomi for a girl. And alfi jay for a boy I reckon she is having a girl. OO will watch this thread and the boys for name ideas for her. She is dead excited im just trying to find the best prams out to. Just as well they both have good payed jobs babies are not cheap now a days lol

My 16 year old daughter is Keziah Rose. Keziah is biblical (Jobs' daughter) Rose is a family name.

I really like Katie for a girl, but its out of fashion at the mo, so I cant call it my little un (if bump is a girl)

Olivia Grace :) x

Grace is lovely, that's my DD's middle name.

I love the "old fashioned" names which have all come back! I called my little girl Emily Isabella when she was born in Sept.
Also love the names lily, Grace and Scarlett too xxx

Aww, Emily Isabella is a gorgeous name.

Aww, Emily Isabella is a gorgeous name.

Thanks hun!! xx

I really like Katie for a girl, but its out of fashion at the mo, so I cant call it my little un (if bump is a girl)Wouldn't it be better to call her something you like, rather than something that is in fashion? She'll have the name for life, not just for "this season".

No final decisions made yet but think we're gonna call our twin girls after their grandmas' so they'll be really old fashioned! Elizabeth and Dolorez. Bet they'll get abbreviated to something like Lizzie and Lola immediately though....

I really like Katie for a girl, but its out of fashion at the mo, so I cant call it my little un (if bump is a girl)

Yes you can - sod fashion, it's a lovely name!

I like Scarlett and Amber...bit biased as they're the names of my own children lol...apart from that i like Evie and Maisy :)

Elsie or Mabel

I have a young niece called Edith. Sounded odd at first but I really like it now.

I have a 19 Month girl called Molly Rose and my 1 month old is called Ella May.
I really like the simple, traditional, English sounding names.
Not too keen on these new fangled americany sounding names :D

We had a beautiful Evie Rose in April and a good friend just had twins called Amelie and Ella. I like Maisie too and Gracie. I think Isabelle or Isabella are very elegant. Have fun choosing. Oh and Darcey/Darcie after the ballerina.

love the name brooke

and also katie

how about Peter lol its different.......... Kennedy would be a good 1 too

how about Peter lol its different.......... Kennedy would be a good 1 too

"Peta", perhaps, or "Petra" as a variant on Peter.

There was a programme on TV recently about a little girl with primordial dwarfism, She was like thumbelina!! (Bless her!!) her name was Kennadie (again slight variant in the spelling).

I still like the classic names, like Chloe, and Grace. I like Verity and Ailish (verity means "Truth", and Ailish or Eilish, which is the alternative spelling, is Gaelic for Elizabeth)

I still love the idea of having a little girl called Eiofe (Eve, in Gaelic)

how about Peter lol its different.......... Kennedy would be a good 1 too

There's always one isn't there. Comes on a thread trying to be funny. If you can't say anything sensible don't say owt at all I say pal. Mind you, at least you didn't suggest calling it Bruno, can't think of a worse name.

I really like Katie for a girl, but its out of fashion at the mo, so I cant call it my little un (if bump is a girl)

Yes you can - sod fashion, it's a lovely name!

I can identify with bethsmummy's thoughts, what with a certain Miss Price and her publicity hungry antics somewhat "sullying" the associations, what was a nice name.

I also like Eleanor and Eloise, as names.

I like Ella, Ellie, Martha, Edith, Brooke, Dawn, Rachel, Laine, Suzi.

Hi can anyone help me find a lovely elegant girls name? :D

What about Maddison, Maise, Lillie, Hatie,Lolla

:shocked: how about Shaggy, I wonder if PT can do a slight variation with that :hihi:

Now you are just being deliberately obtuse! :hihi:

A friend of mine in the Chicago area christened her little girl, who'll be about 7 now, Madysyn (Madison)

Oh and Darcey/Darcie after the ballerina.

I love Darcie but my husband doesn't, he loves the name poppy! We simply cannot agree on a girls name.

We also like Olivia but not keen on giving her a name thats sooo popular, and we like Maddie (not short for anything).

Or theres: Eve, Yvie, Gracie, Neve, Ava, Isla, Aimee, Isabelle

"

I still love the idea of having a little girl called Eiofe (Eve, in Gaelic)

How do you pronounce Eiofe?

How do you pronounce Eiofe?

Is it Efa?

I also like Bethany, Bethen, Faith, Grace, Siobahn, Hollie.

Hi can anyone help me find a lovely elegant girls name? :D

mia rose ? fennella ?

Now you are just being deliberately obtuse! :hihi:

A friend of mine in the Chicago area christened her little girl, who'll be about 7 now, Madysyn (Madison)

my little girl is evie madisun (instead of (son) ,i wanted an element of the earth in her name)

She was gonna be amber but my babies have red hair it would off been cliche.
I liked ava,nieve and eva to

How do you pronounce Eiofe?

Is it Efa?

I also like Bethany, Bethen, Faith, Grace, Siobahn, Hollie.

it's like Eve but with a very soft "F", like in "if" :- eeeef, basically. (or "eeefie")

like the bh in Siobhân is pronounced "f" "Sh'-fahnn"

How about Calypso, Rani, or Rayne

iv allways liked the names faith and hope and said if i had girls that would be the names id use but im on boy no2 so no girls 4 me lol

I could do with some nice girls names too but I want unusual. I am expecting my 2n child and we have afew iteas in mind for a boy but we are totally stuck for a girl. Any ieas woul be great.

Ruby-jade :love: this name but I would because it's my little Princess's name :D. Kaitlyn, Olivia, Marina, Jessica, Charlie/Charley, Louisa, Leona, Bethany, Sarah-jane, Elysia, Destiny, Harriet....... hope these help.

im cheryl faye by the way and love both names

tegan rebecca, jayna rachel, taysia leonie, shilah rayne, my girlies names!!x

I still love the name Meredith, shortened to Meri in my daughter's case :)

my daughter just had a little girl....Mae Lily, short an sweet :thumbsup:

What about Emily-Jane or Kasey

...I am expecting a girl in November and have no idea what to call her.
Hubby and I can't agree and I find girls name so hard.
I like unusual names so want to avoid ones that are popular at the moment, not that I have anything against traditional names but I like something a bit unique.
I am fed up of trawling baby name sites so can anyone give me inspiration?!
I have 2 boys at the moment - Joshua Ryan and Caden Stanley.
Surname begins with L so don't want a first name with l's in it as it doesn't flow very well!
Thanks for any suggestions.....! xx:D

Erin. Keziah. Morgan.

My daughter is called Keziah... She's 17 now and loves the unusal name but likes to be called Kez or Kezzy.

Recent ones i've heard:

Rian/Rhian/Rhiannon
Scarlett
Letty
Quince
Erryn
Amelie
Emily
Molly
Loulyn
Sarah
Alexandra
Robyn
Ava
Bo
Vye
Valery
Aida

Lislie pronounced like lilo but with an 'e' that sounds like an 'i' - lie li. Suppose you could drop the 's'. I knew someone with this name back in the late 70s and I adored her from up close.

mine are Giorgia Marielouise, Kennedy Rhianna & Kati Leigh-Anne. I like names that are a bit different too. My boys are Ellis Jon Harry, and Nile Davis Blue :) Ellis is getting a bit too popular for my liking now though :S

I like Ava, too, as a name, you probably don't want to go down the route of the "Moon Unit Bluebell" even though you want an unusual name.

Grace? Poppy? Verity? (means truth) Ailish? (Yes, I know it's an L name, but try it with your surname to see if it flows, you never know?) (Ailish/ eilish is gaelic for Elisabeth) I like Keavey ? Keeva (another Irish name) Megan? (I always wanted a Megan Eilish and a Verity Grace)

Olivia? (livvy?)or what about Cassidy (originates from a Gaelic name meaning "curly-headed")

Elouise, Micah, Miah, Annie, Clara, Isabella or Bella, Corrine, Connie, Libby, Gracie, Kate, Lilah, Liliah, Gabrielle, Tallulah,

iv got boys so not very often think of girls names (my boys roman joseph and riley-luca) but my friens is pregnant with a girl so been racking my brains recently! Isla is pretty unusual, Lola? My mum liked unusual names my name is Summa (said summer) and my sister is Sorrel, try reading the credits after films some unique names pop up on them!

Sienna, Savannah, Emmie, Martha, Lois.

My daughter is called Aneisha Rae I personally love it :love:

Thanks for all the suggestions, some great idea's there - keep em coming and I will let you know what I choose! xx

I've just called my little girl Niamh (pronounced Neve) I also liked Lois and Erin. I have another daughter called Brooke

Aja , Aiyana, Alivia, Keila, Kianna, Kyra, Luz, Jazlyn, Jaylyn,

We've just named our baby girl Esmae (pronounced Ez-may).
I too wanted to be a little different!
We also gave her a more traditional middle name - Rose

I really like Romy, Romia, Lydia, Jasmine, Mia, Jada, Lyla, Leila. My name is Marina which isnt that common :)

Good luck with picking!!

I think Lilly is a timeless classic and I also love Fraya.

OK - just to update, we have decided to call our baby girl Anya Jean (Jean was my late mother in law's name). I think its a really pretty name that will sound nice when she is older.
So I have Joshua who is 8, Caden who is almost 10mths and Anya due in November.

I think that's lovely Claire :)

Hi all. So i have a little unusual query. I am a strong believer in the meaning of names as well as their sound.
We were brainstorming baby girl names and we came across a beautiful name, Mishel which means "light" in Arabic. We believe the pronunciation is pretty much like "Michelle" and so we're thinking of retaining this popular spelling i.e. MICHELLE.
Here is the confusing bit: the meaning of the name Michelle is entirely different from the meaning of Mishel. Michelle apparently means "who is like God."
And we're confused. I don't prefer the latter meaning; we are opting for the latter spelling because it is easy, common and elegant. But would that change the spirit/meaning of the original Arabic name that we started out with?
Crazy query but really important to us. Any insights please? Thanks!

There is another Arabic name, meaning "light" which is is "Noor".

Michelle comes from the Hebrew, meaning "who is like God?" (put as a question, "who could possibly be like the LORD? rather than as a statement "someone who is like the LORD)

I do think that the meaning of a name is very important.

You also have to think that this child will have to carry that name for the rest of their life, so I believe it's important to give the child a name it can live with.

If the child is a girl, the other consideration is thinking how her name may "go" with a future husband's name, if she is to go down the route of taking her husband's name. (Not all will do that, I know a few married women who kept their "maiden" names for religious reasons or for their professional life)

I'm not a god botherer, but I believe in 'God' as a positive force invoked when anybody puts their mind to positive thoughts towards others - whatever you care to name it/him, so apply that to your name interpretation :thumbsup:

Thankyou, guys. I feel a lot lighter. Hubby loves this name too ... we're going for Michelle the spelling, but in our hearts , the meaning remains "light."
:hihi:

ive got a book here its called a world of baby names , over 30,000 names , if anybody wants it pm me and its yours ,,
