Dear Bloggy friends, I need your ideas...
The nursery is ready, the hospital bag is packed and the freezer is full of food - There is just one small problem, we are still wavering on a girl's name. The boy's name is not a problem, but we change our minds daily with girl's names and nothing has really filled either of us with enthusiasm or certainty. We want a name that is solid and traditional, a name that is not too pretty or girlie... or popular!
Perhaps you have a great idea up your sleeve? First of all here are the names already being used by close family, and therefore out of the frame...
Millie, Eva, Tilly, Hannah, Sophie, Zoe, Jane, Frances
And now a list of lovely names rejected because close friends have used them, or one of us has a negative association with them...
Ophelia, Georgia, Harriet, Charlotte, Alexis, Flora, Ellen, Octavia
And finally one other condition. The UK at the moment is filled with children whose names end in the sound "ee", and I'm trying desperately to avoid it, so no Ruby, Emily, Lily or Evie.
Our short list at the moment is Isla (Scottish girl's name meaning island, but in danger of being massively popular), Emma (an early contender, but now not overly inspiring us) and Eliza (to be officially named "Elizabeth" but known as "Eliza")
Have you any ideas, or perhaps just a favourite from our short list? All feedback is welcome... just don't tell suggest we call it Harper Seven!
