I am in here looking for a girls name, I have loads of boys but never girls. My mum I dont speak to any more not becuase she ruined my choices when I had my son lots of other things though I said no one will know my choices till the baby gets the name. I dont like people disecting names on me

So my dad who i do speak to has suggested natasha which was his mums name, now William is named after other halfs dad so i think they think that seems fair and my OH is all for it but I am not. Its a nice name and all but it dosnt feel right? like not the right name. You know when one jumps at you and you know.

Unless I am having a boy that is but size indicates girl to us. So now my dad I think is and will be more offended if I dont choose his mums name and I know its my choice and to be honest theres going to be a row over something anyway and my mum will more likely start about it more than my dad.


I need girls names our surname is Smith and baby brothers name is William James. Plenty of boys we have no girls.

Also others have suggested names and when i dont take them they get offended to. Not like I dont like em just not fitting with me at all.

I like Amelia but know loads called that to and OH isnt fussed on that.

I like Amelia too.

As for people getting offended - don't let it worry you. If everyone suggests a different name you will offend everyone except one person in that case and people can't be so ridiculous as to think they are the only ones to come up with a name for YOUR child.

When others suggest names I usually just say: That sounds like a nice name. And not commit to anything at all. In the end the choice is yours and they are the ones who will suffer if they choose to be offended - not you.

Maybe:
Emily
Lily
Cecilia

If I hear one more say Lilly to me lol

Emily is ok though not popping out at me at all.

I think I would just read a book of baby names if I hadn't decided so quickly.

I really like old fashioned names but they aren't to everyone's taste I think. I would buy a book I think, or look through loads of names online :P

I have been on google for months looking and I just cant settle on one at all. I dont know why this is so hard for me and easy for others. With my son we had his name the day before he was born we had a feeling then we knew for sure he was a boy. But never had a girls name then. I rather have a name for i know when i have baby in hospital everyone will be up doing my head in with names and getting offended. My mum got offended i wouldnt call my son Ruddolf last time. Like Ruddolf wtf?

you name your baby what you want dont feel obligated to name it after someone or thing your not keen on.

ah great now someone has started a facebook war with me because I said I didnt know their names and I wasnt shortening my baby name whatever it was. Now she is doing status updates nasty directed at me which I am not rising to. Sick of her anyway. I wanted strong English names and i get seasons and flowers instead. And i am not calling after someone i dont like or one of other halfs exs if you get me. Its not something to be taken lightly. I got bullied over my name all my life so i dont fancy my child having that also.;

You shouldn't feel guilty about not using names people suggest. It's a personal choice between the baby's parents. Others can offer ideas/feedback -- this can be very helpful bc choosing a name is a HUGE responsibility! But ultimately, you & OH have to decide!

Is there a variation of Natasha you may like -- Tasha maybe? Natalie (similar)? Sasha? Natalia? Or maybe grandma's middle name? Do you like Natasha as a middle name option?? (ex. Ava Natasha) Is there a feminine version of your dad's name that could be incorporated? Using a family name is a nice tribute -- but certainly not mandatory!

Some name suggestions:

Addison
Allison
Abigail
Avery
Emma
Emerson
Dahlia
Evelyn
Lauren
Robyn
Paige

I do like Robyn there. I may but that on my list actually . Natasha as a middle name is ok but not much goes with Natasha?? I cant think of a middle name for Robyn dont think that will go. but I do like it. People keep giving me names that are seasons , months and flowers it

I always liked Gabrielle but we have one in the family that my OH dosnt like.
