we have books and googled and googled names and we cant make up our minds mind you we didn't know the name of our son until he was a couple of days old. We named our first born on the day we knew when found out she was a girl!

Internet is your friend, as are traditional baby name books.

Do you have any friends or family members whose names you like and wouldn't mind or be honoured by you borrowing their name?

Do you have any favourite authors/artists/performers?

What about taking the name from a fictional character or historical figure you enjoy or admire?

How about nature names? Those can work especially well on girls.


Of the choices you have posted here, I'd definitely go for Lucy(or Lucille!)

Well congradulations to you both!! Sometimes parents just have to meet their new baby to pick their name.. So you get a "feel" for it if you know what i mean...

i like Fiona

This was a misleading thread title

...oh and go with Isabel

Emily

Elisa

Cadence

Marisa

girls names I have loved (I thought up a ton, but never had any girls )

olivia
mia
inez
vanessa
justina
emma pia
shamila

our criteria for the name choice was it had to be OK in swedish, spanish and english (inez wouldn't have passed the cut)

we almost named our second daughter isabelle.
i love that name.
she just didn't look like an isabelle, so we named her Sara.

Isabelle. It's a great name.

i like this name

We named our daughter sarah, but we spell it with an "h" at the end

Though it's actually quite a beautiful name, org history has shown that only compromised people -- like really compromised people -- name their daughters "Lucy."

Unusual. I kinda like it.

Congrats, Oldpurple!

Names, eh? Hmm... What are some of the most important things in the world to you?

I know 2 different people whos kids have that name...One is a boy, one is a girl... I think its more of a girls name tho...

tinaz said:

Interesting. I've never heard of it as a name. I bet I meet about 10 Cadences in the next week now.

Nova

Pronounced (KAY dens)

Cadence means flow or rhythm as applied to language, music, or movement. In music, a cadence is a sequence of notes which indicates the end of a phrase. In the military, a cadence is a chant performed while marching or drilling. This noun has recently become popular as a girl's name.

I have 3 Girls -
Naomi
Vanessa
Cherie

They all share the same middle name - Jade

I chose their names fom the baby name book
Good Luck and God Bless your Baby

Poppy was always going to be our girls name....but we had a boy

isobelle

great thread, but i can't help feeling slightly disappointed after the title.

or take a name from her side of the family and one from yours and put the two together.

It's clearly hard enough if they've got to the baby naming stage

besides, if you think naming thems hard, wait fir the raising, keeping out of trouble and picking the right cereal stage....

My tip is don't pick something that can be shortened to an embarassing consequence

Pick something you can scream at the top of your voice when bollocking them
