Which name for baby girl

DianneB

I know a girl called Grace who is quite clumsy and chunky and the name does not suit her at all!!

Think Daisy is a lovely name. Good luck with the birth hope all goes well, you might change your mind totally when you meet her!!

daisy and grace/gracie are so popular at my kids school you call one name you get a flock of them and roma sounds terrible with your surname i would go back to the drawing board personally

It's Remembrance Sunday tomorrow - call her Poppy!

I have never liked grace, I think names that carry a connotation can put an unfair burden on a child to act a certain way, eg "that's not very graceful Grace!" If they're being naughty.

I applaud her for asking, if more people did perhaps there would be fewer dreadful names out there :rotfl:

I bet most of us would be told that our children's names are dreadful (or boring, I suppose?) if we posted them on here.

I think my boys names are okay and they've never heard a negative comment (apart from people having trouble spelling them, but that's not due to me inventing an unusual spelling) but I read on a thread here about chavvy names that both of mine have chav names :rotfl:

One has a gaelic name followed by a scottish surname, and we live in England. The other has a bible name, which apparently means we are trying to be 'black', and as we are not black that makes us chavs.

lol when i asked about mine my son david was for an old man and my daughters was misspelt lyla not layla or lola perfectly good lyla

we selected these as hubby is israeli and david is a good hebrew name and lyla means night which is when she was most active in my belly

i think names should mean something davids name was changed from the one we originally thought of as it just didnt fit him when he came out lyla was always going to be lyla because of how she kept me up all night every night while i was pregnant their middle names are both family names lylas middle names are her grandmas names and davids middles are after his uncle and aunty (male version of female name) find something that has meaning and that is special to you and that should be your childs name

I've head of Lila, but as a shorted form of Elisabeth. It's totally different to Layla or Lola. I like Lyla, and it fits her heritage. The reason my son's irish name makes us chavvy, apparently, is because we have no irish heritage.

Well, if you had to go and call him Bono!:)

Shoshannah

Name the person, not the baby. They will have this name for decades, not just through nursery.

Shoshannah

My name is Shoshannah. I don't mind being called that, or Shosh for short.

Clients often struggle with my name. I have been called Sosh, Josh, Sasha, Sharna, Sian, Slosh, Slash, Sassy and Dotsy. I'm not even joking.

And I wear a name badge.

That said, I don't mind the name. Was a very personal choice for my parents, so I am led to believe.
