39 weeks and no name! (includes a small list if anyone is interested!)

[Fiore]

We are still floundering about for a name We're having a little girl, middle name will be Diane and so far we like:
Ava
Amber
Ophelia
Ruby
Jessica
Sophia
Erin
Olivia

But none seem to hit the spot

Names we love but have been taken by close friends:
Amelia
Eve
Poppy
Hollie
Paige
Grace
Ellie
Ella

I'm not keen on really unusual names however we don't fancy a name which is in the top 10 at the minute. All ideas are so very welcome as we don't want to be calling her 'the baby' for the rest of her life lol xx

 

[catfromaus]

How about Hayley? Marley? Anna?

 

[Claireyh]

I love your names on your list!!

The only one I'm not sure about is Ophelia, but that's the whole drowning in the pond/Hamlet connection!! (Is it Hamlet? SUre it is, but I doubt everything I try to remember now!!).

Why not keep your short list and then see when you meet her?

That's how we are, we want the perfect name! As my mum says though, whatever we name her it will seem silly to have named her anything else after a while as we would have got used to it!xx
