baby names

[carliex]

I really love the name lillie mae jackson but iv been told its becoming really common and iv already bumped into two people in the same town as me that have just called there baby lillie mae should this put me off i wanted somthing diffrent that not alot of people used, i also like hallie mae jackson and faith but cant think of a second name to go with it, these are the only names me and my partner agree on, i love georgia jackson but he hates it :(
anyone think of anythin to go with faith? or any other girly girl names that are not used often?

Faith Louise
Faith Mary
Faith Joy
Faith Georgia?

Hallie May sounds lovely.

[LoftyLottie]

Nelly Mae
Ellie Mae
Eliza Mae
Annie Mae
Faith Elizabeth
Faith Eliza

[LoftyLottie]

Sorry about the large space. It keeps happening!

lily is becoming very popular. there are 2 lilys in my sons nursery group.

But go with whatever you want to, OK there may be a few at school but dont feel you have to change from what youve decided and you have taken the unusual spelling of the name

For what its worth though i do like Eliza as a suggestion :)

[natalie_1982]

My cousin has baby Lily-Mai and my friend has Lillie-Mae, I think there is quite a few now.

I like Georgia, but not sure if I like it with Jackson - too many "j" sounds!

I like Hallie Jackson on it's own.

What about Faith Jasmine? Or Faith Eleanor?

As for other girlie names that aren't too common, how about these:
Emilia (ok, I'm biased, it's my daughter's name)
Olivia
Isabella
Evie
Grace
Maisie
Ava

[redcrx]

Emilia / Amelia will be the next one, another lovely but popular name.

:)

[natalie_1982]

I know, there is already another Emilia in her class at nursery Red, spelt the same way too!

But there also a Mindy :-)
I think it's cute but the urge is soooooo strong to say "Nannoo Nannoo" to her in the mornings.

[tigerlily11]

I do think the longer version is nice.
I used to have a great aunt Lillian.

It really depends on whether you care that there are other kids with the same name. Lots of people don't and many choose a popular name so that their child fits in. There are no rules, go with your own gut instinct on what you would be happy with.

There are quite a few different names around in my sons classes.

Rowan
Piper
Kizzy
Arabella
Ruby
Isabella (Belle)
Anastasia (Tasia)
Phoebe
Karys
Maddison
Paige
Amber
Jessie
Quite a few Olivias and Keiras

what about Lucy Mae?

[Bbbananas]

Phoebe
Matilda (Tilly)
Annie Rose
Lottie

I am (almost) past childbearing age - been there, done that. But if I had a daughter today these are the names I like.

[gina32]

just out of curiosity why do people name thier children but then call them by a shortened version???

[annie0000]

I guess it gives them a choice gem. Sometimes the diminutive of a name only suits a child and sounds a bit stupid on a grown up and conversly some names are a bit to old to give to a baby. Personally - I gave my kids the names that I wanted them to be called and that they could use all their lives, but everyone is different and I know that some people have a real "thing" about it.

[annie0000]

salla - there are some lovely books around about a little boy called Alfie and his sister Annie Rose - that would be a lovely gift for someone if they named their child with your suggestion. - I bought a couple of those books when a friend called his son Alfie.

[naflharrison]

i love evie, mia, lottie, daisy, lola, carys(daughters middle name!), tabitha, molly, and last but not least Freya(daughters first name!).

[lollyone]

LOL @ natalie!! ;o)

I like Scarlett too. I think Faith needs to go with something with more than one syllable. Faith Olivia?? What about Hallie Faith? Hallie Faith Jackson sounds nice.

[Eve]

How about Lilia, Emilie or Ava.

[carliex]

thanx for all ur answers they really help i like hallie faith jackson and lillia iv also come up with gabriella as i like ella but want something really classy to use when she is older if you know what i mean,

[Thesilentone]

My friend has a beautiful little girl called Evie-Mae which is very pretty.

Millie
Molly
Maisey

were my all time fav names when i was pregnant but I had a boy!!!

I know a lot of Lilys, Jasmines, Olivias and Hollys in my sons school year!

Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy xx
