Daisy or Emily, would not spell it Emilee personally.

I agree i'm 15 weeks pregnant and Emily is my favourite girl choice. I decided I want my child to be able to buy a souvenir on a day out with his or her name on it - I have never been able to to and as a child was always disappointed - sad I know!

What does anyone think of the girls name, Marnie?

My old boss's daughter had that name and I always quite liked it.

Sounds like a character from the Brady Bunch or Peanuts, just very american really.

I've got a Matilda

Round our way Matilda is very common (common - popular, not common-chavvy).

About half the toddler siblings in the playground are Tilly/Matilda, the other half are Millie/Amelia. I think both Matilda and Amelia are nice names, but they massively overused here. I guess it will vary from area to area, though. Fortunately there's very few Demi-Leigh, Lily-Mae etc in our area!

It's really hard to get nice, but unusual names. Nice names are often popular for a reason - because they are nice!

So so true!
I chose a very popular boys name for my son, and it doesn't bother me in the slightest that a handful of other boys will probably have the same name when he goes to school.

I'd far rather have a popular traditional name than some silly made up or Americanised name that is less popular but awful (IMHO)

I agree, my son has a popular traditional name (William). My daughter has an unusual, but still traditional, proper name, Tabitha.

We had mixed reactions to Tabitha TBH, some people loved it, others thought it should only be used for cats! But we still love it!

We chose Aidan for our son and have the problem will people misspelling (Aiden, Eden!! or Adrian). Increasingly there are personalised gifts for "Aidan" but now he has grown out of the age when he wants them!

Out of your names Tina got my vote (though I prefer Christina really), second choice Daisy.

Good luck.

I like the name Pernille which is very popular in Scandinavia.

I like Tehya because it's different and I love different.

DH and I have already earmarked names for when I'm pregnant.

LadyMorticia

If we have a girl we're going to call her Daenerys (after Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones) but it would be shortened to Danni.
