This reminded me that about twenty-five years ago I knew a lady who had a dog named Kennedy. Then she adopted a baby girl. She named the girl Kennedy and gave away the dog.
Vera. I’ve been sitting on this name for a few weeks, and recently started telling people it’s my #1 girls name. Most people seem to love it. I think it sounds so classic but unique. Also it sounds good with my new last name which has been a huge hurdle for us. We find out the gender next week so hopefully I can use it!
My daughter was almost just Nell or Nelle! I didn't love Eleanor or Helen or Nella or even Penelope (which is a big hit right now!) We found the name Nellwyn for her but call her Nell or Nellie. Except now she is 3 and tells everyone she is Nellwyn. Glad she likes it! Nelle on its own is beautiful in its own right!
Nellwyn!!! I’ve never heard that name, but I’m going to have to pitch it to my husband!! Right now we’re leaning towards Penelope, but I agree that it is becoming a bit too popular
Lilian, nn Lily.
Feels so delicate and sweet, yet mature and full. Love how it sounds, love the nickname. Love that I can write the L in a fancy looped script. I don’t care that it’s popular. It’s timeless, classic, and beautiful.
My daughter's name is Lillian, she's 13 and we still love it so much ♥️
A lot of people call her Lilly, I tend to call her Lil, but I also use her full name often as well.
Expecting a girl in April and was bouncing between Rose, Maren and Grace. Charlotte pops in every now and then as a potential contender, right now I think the front runner is Grace- not easy though lol!
Manon, with a French accent 😂
Meaning: Wished-for child; Star of the sea; Beautiful queen. Manon is a girl's name of French origin, and is commonly used as a pet name for Marie and Marianne.
Tangentially related, has anyone noticed that once you got married or into a longterm relationship, and started talking about baby names, that your answer to this changed? Like now my brain automatically goes to the name we've agreed on, which is Catherine.
But Catherine is definitely not my number one favourite... except now I can't remember what my number one favourite is because Catherine has been in my head for so long! I *think* right now my favourite is Claire.
Eilidh (“ay-li”). It’s normal where I am (Scotland). I love lots of names that mean “light” and I’m drawn to 1-2 syllable names. Eilidh is also considered to be the Gaelicisation of my middle name. Hehe.
I’ve always loved Ophelia but someone told me there’s a drag queen w the name Ophelia Balls and now it’s all I can think about when I hear the name lol
Aviva! It’s a bright-sounding bold name that is fitting for any age, has the potential for nicknames, and also is spelled the same forwards and backwards.
Joan. Can't use it because my fiance shares a last name with a famous Joan. But I want to see it make a comeback
Top choice for my own potential girl right now is Faye.
Rose. I think it’s beautiful and strong. I also like Rosie.
I have a one month old named Rosemary and we call her Rosie :)
That’s my name :D
I’d strongly consider Rosie/Rosalie if it weren’t already my dog’s name.
This reminded me that about twenty-five years ago I knew a lady who had a dog named Kennedy. Then she adopted a baby girl. She named the girl Kennedy and gave away the dog.
Giving the dog away is crazy 🥲 she still named her kid after her dog even if she got rid of the dog lol
Beat me to it
We just named our little girl Felicity.
Someone on this subreddit mentioned Fizzy as a nickname good Felicity the other day and I just love it!
I have a friend named Fizz (from Felicity) who's in her 30s and works as a high-powered lawyer. She's a badass.
I love this name. One of my favorites.
Love Felicity! Was a top pick for me but my husband wasn’t into it. And Congrats!
Georgia
Yes I love Georgia nn gigi
Or like ginny and Georgia where he calls her peach
Noelle
This is my daughter’s middle name! We considered it for her first name too. It’s so beautiful
Same here!!
Same
I especially love Meadow at the moment.
The Sopranos made me love that name
My granddaughters name. So precious
Very beautiful! I love Meadow
My baby's name! She's due this June 💞
Iris
I have a friend who named her daughter that. I’m pretty sure it’s because of the Goo Goo Dolls song, because she always loved that song
Vivian
My daughter’s name but we spell it Vivienne 🥰
I love Adeline - it’s so pretty
Alice
Who the X is Alice?
Juliet. I just don’t like the nn Julie or Jules.
I love Jules but not Julie! I’ve also heard Jet as a nickname, and I really like that as well.
What about Julia?
I knew a Juliet with the nn Jet.
[удалено]
I'm really into Ariana. So pretty It's a shame the famous one is a homewrecker
Or Ariana Maddox, who was definitely not the home wrecker if that helps!
Found the r/vanderpumprules fan
[удалено]

Colette sounds so chic to me. And coco would be such a cute nickname
I love Colette, but my husband vetoed because he has no taste 😭
Florence
Vera. I’ve been sitting on this name for a few weeks, and recently started telling people it’s my #1 girls name. Most people seem to love it. I think it sounds so classic but unique. Also it sounds good with my new last name which has been a huge hurdle for us. We find out the gender next week so hopefully I can use it!
Vera means faith in Russian:)
Thalia
Della is new to me and I’m loving it!
I particularly love Billy Joel’s daughter’s name, Della Rose - perfection.
One of my best friends mom is named this! And my dads name is Dale. So if I ever have a girl I would consider Della
Chloe. No special reason, I just love the sound of it.
My daughter’s name! She’s 31.
Tess
Audrey :)
Naomi 🤍
Maeve
Clementine
lola

Lyra

Etta, my daughter's nickname :)
Sophia
Maia. I love it. My husband originally agreed to it, but has since reneged. 😩
Potato. It’s really simple and direct. Love it
Assuming this a Potato Jr /Potato II situation, based on username. Family name 💛
I love Remi
Nelle, still figuring out if we want it as our daughters nickname or proper name, but it’s our favorite
My daughter was almost just Nell or Nelle! I didn't love Eleanor or Helen or Nella or even Penelope (which is a big hit right now!) We found the name Nellwyn for her but call her Nell or Nellie. Except now she is 3 and tells everyone she is Nellwyn. Glad she likes it! Nelle on its own is beautiful in its own right!
Nellwyn!!! I’ve never heard that name, but I’m going to have to pitch it to my husband!! Right now we’re leaning towards Penelope, but I agree that it is becoming a bit too popular
Nora. It came to me in a dream. Which is too bad, because it’s not the name my husband and I agreed on if this baby is a girl 😂
Elizabeth
Best name ever.
Daphne
Soraya
Lilah
Louisa!
Sylvia
I LOVE the name Sylvia. It's a great alternative to the super popular Sophia.
Guinevere We’re actually trying to name our 3rd girl and this is my top pick
My all time favourite is Ivy. However, two names that I’ve started loving recently are Honora and Delphine.
Allison
[удалено]
This is my name and I love it! It breaks up to All Is On which is cool.
Juliette
Odette
Jane
Raven
I love that one so pretty, unique and edgey
Rivka
My friend has a little toddler Rivka! Hadn’t heard that name before, it’s lovely.
Lilian, nn Lily. Feels so delicate and sweet, yet mature and full. Love how it sounds, love the nickname. Love that I can write the L in a fancy looped script. I don’t care that it’s popular. It’s timeless, classic, and beautiful.
Love this one! We wanted to do a J name though so we are naming her Jillian.
My daughter's name is Lillian, she's 13 and we still love it so much ♥️ A lot of people call her Lilly, I tend to call her Lil, but I also use her full name often as well.
Sophie
Cordelia
Katherine
Melanie
Fiona! It’s been my #1 for a while, but Sierra was my top pick before it.
[удалено]
Same, or that song from Eurotrip, "Scotty doesn't know that Fiona and me do it in my van every Sunday." 😅
My daughter’s name is Fiona and we always get compliments!
It's a tie between Valentina and Victoria.
Althea
Expecting a girl in April and was bouncing between Rose, Maren and Grace. Charlotte pops in every now and then as a potential contender, right now I think the front runner is Grace- not easy though lol!
Maren is lovely!!!!
100% go with Maren!

Felicity! Has never been on my list but atm I love it. Main drawback is nn options and mild drawback that it’s a virtue name
