Just found out that I'm having a girl, and while I am SO excited. It's becoming a challenge for me. There isn't a single girl name that my husband and I both like.
We know what this baby's name would have been if it were a boy (Ezra Isaac). I have 3 more boy names on my list I love just as much (Jude, Collin, and Liam).
I want something that isn't very common, isn't fussy or frilly, and works well with the middle name Elizabeth.
My husband's top 2 choices are Hannah and Julia. My top 2 choices (that still don't feel quite right) are Norah and Holland.
Any suggestions?
Re: Why are girl names terrible?
Naomi
Willow
Brynn
Lucille
Cora
Zelda
Isobel
Heidi
I also like Hannah and Norah from your list.
Sybil
Siobhan
Irene
Bernadette
Heloise
Holland is a region of the Netherlands, not a name. And nn Holly is very frilly.
Other suggestions:
Sloane
Helena
Wren
Alice
Hollis or Holly
Flannery
Iris
Ingrid
Imogen
Briar
Maren
Carys
Esme
Olive
Margot
Frances
Edited: added another cool name.
Baby Boy #1 born 1/9/17
Baby Boy #2 EDD 11/4/18
@op Norah is also a nice name. Chose whatever name you like best
Not-too-frilly choices for you:
Esme Elizabeth
Eva Elizabeth
Helen Elizabeth
Robin Elizabeth
Clara Elizabeth
Ivy Elizabeth
Edited for spelling mistake
Marriage: 4/2008
Baby Carriage #1: 5/2012
Baby Carriage #2: 1/2016
But, it IS the name of a really awful mid 2000's movie about a *~quirky~* teen who gets knocked up.
I'm sorry, I just can't deal. I think it's Jason Bateman's hair, mostly.
Well, he was supposed to be a super creepy douchebag
Violet. Savannah. Johanna. Theresa.
Just my two cents.
I do like Norah, Julia and Hannah. And, I second the names Georgia, Violet and Leona.
Caroline
Leila
Juliet
Natalie
Cara
I've not seen it. I've heard of it. I took the name from the 2005 horror The Descent.
Asha
Zara
Avery
Claire
Rowan
Lucille
I haven't done much research on the name but I believe it's a variation of Holly.
I know of a Hollin (friend of a friend). She's a cute and successful graphic designer and she pulls off the name well.
