[name_f]My[/name_f] partner and I are trying for a baby and we’ve been brainstorming names that we like. It’s difficult to agree as we both have slightly different tastes! He prefers more traditional names whereas I like names that aren’t too common/popular.
We love [name_m]Roland[/name_m] for a boy and we both also like [name_m]Lucas[/name_m]/Luca (I feel like [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] is a bit too popular at the moment but I like it anyway), but we’re struggling with girls. Any suggestions would be wonderful!
Names that we like but we have ruled out:
• [name_f]Clara[/name_f]
• [name_f]Fern[/name_f]
• [name_u]Pip[/name_u] ([name_f]Pippa[/name_f])
• [name_u]Marlow[/name_u]
• [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
I like [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] (particularly the nn [name_f]Tilly[/name_f]!) but I have a niece called [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Elize[/name_f], so I wouldn’t want to also use [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]. Beautiful name though!
I particularly love [name_f]Tessa[/name_f], [name_f]Juliet[/name_f], [name_f]Celine[/name_f] and [name_f]Colette[/name_f]. [name_f]Lovely[/name_f] choices! [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] is also up there for me - I’ll have to take these to the SO!
These are some really lovely suggestions! [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f], [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] and [name_u]Meredith[/name_u] stand out to me in particular. I love [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] too but I have a feeling there will be a name boom for this one after the recent Bridgerton series.
I like [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_f]Olive[/name_f] and [name_f]Audrey[/name_f]! SO likes [name_f]Margot[/name_f] but one of my close friend’s has just named her LO [name_f]Margot[/name_f], so that’s ruled out for me. Sadly!
It’s a beautiful name and we actually do love it with [name_m]Roland[/name_m]… But the sound is very similar to my own name and they start with the same initial. We thought if people referred to us both in the same sentence (eg. “here comes C… and [name_f]Clara[/name_f]” it might be a bit of a tongue-twister!
