arrrghhhhh we only have about 12 weeks to choose!!

DH isn't so keen on some on this list, I'm not crazy about the others - I'd be interested to see what you think.

DD is Poppy, and I'd like to use Lucy as MN (my sisters name) although won't suit all names......

In no particular order:

Beatrice (Bea)
Harriet
Saffron
Molly
Lola
Freya

ETA - any other suggestions that you think might fit my 'style' welcome! thanks original.gif

from your list i like Harriet and Freya. Harriet Lucy goes better with Poppy imo

I like Beatrice, Harriet and Freya best - all gorgeous. The others are nice too, but I think Molly is a bit too similar-sounding to Poppy. Have fun choosing!
Bel Rowley
Beatrice and Harriet are my favourites, I love Harriet Lucy.
J.J and U
I like Saffron and Freya, all names I have short-listed if we have a girl next.
~Nodnol~
Beatrice or Saffron.

Or maybe Harriet.

Cool list!

If Beatrice were Beatrix, it would be my first pick.

Saffron is simply awesome...and Freya is lovely, too.

Harriet Lucy is to die for. wub.gif swoon city!

Beatrice (Bea)- lovely, but Beatrix would be so gorgeous
Harriet- lovely
Saffron- not keen
Molly- ok
Lola- ok
Freya- nice


Beatrice and Harriet are my favourites but Harriet Lucy definitely sounds better as a combo so that's my pick.

Beatrice and Molly are my favs.
A friend of mine just called her daughter Filippa Lou (she is Swedish and they use 'F' instead of 'Ph') and I Loooove it, too bad I can't use it if I ever have another. But you can! Hehe.

Harriet Lucy is my definite favourite, with Beatrice second. Good luck with your decision!

Whilst i dont like the name Harriet, i think Harriet Lucy sounds best! Pity you couldn't use Lucy as a FN!

I think Poppy goes best with Lola or Freya. Lola Lucy doesn't really work, though. I love the other names, especially Saffron, but Saffron and Poppy just get too flowery/foody as sibs.
~Ingrid~
Beatrice (Bea) - I ADORE this name. It was in my top 3 when we named Kitty but dh was never a fan. I would have used the nn Trixie
Harriet - another favourite of mine. My only problem with this name is that I am not of fan of the nn Harry.
Saffron - nice
Molly - okay but no where near as lovely as teh others
Lola - no
Freya - lovely

Hi, 12 weeks is AGES, don't panic! We are due next Sunday and are stumped! This is baby number 3. We already have a Luca, 4, and Saffron, 2, which is why I'm writing. Hubby said tell you it's terrible, so you don't choose it. But actually everyone in the shops always praises it, and Saffy suits her to boot, at least while she's young. We like it because it's a bit hippy and everyone knows how to spell it yet it's not common, like Lily, Ruby, Millie, Siena, Mia, etc. They are all pretty but too trendy. See the link below for top 100 names registered in Australia last year. And good luck! We are thinking of Eli or Reuben and Olive or Indigo for baby #3 but really not sure.

PS. Don't worry about that post on 'too flowery' altho I respect her opinion. Themes are fine. I know a lot of themes, like Georgia-Texas-Indiana; Lily-Poppy-Daisy (Jamie Oliver's girls); Summer and Winter etc. and they are novel.
Misslove
I think Saffron is a beautiful name!

Saffy for nn, it sounds very soft and it's something different?
MamaP
Thanks for all the posts ladies, it's great to hear what everyone thinks and that my names are being well received!!

I am personally liking Saffron the most atm but hubby not sold on 'Saffy' which she will inevitably get called. Not too fussed about there being a nature theme, although if we had a third we would probably try and steer away from another nature name.

I didn't realise Harriet was so popular, I do really like it but not so keen on Harry/Hattie....

Such a tough decision!

Beautiful names rolleyes.gif !
From your list I love Harriet, Freya, then Lola (in that order!)
Harriet was one of my top picks for a girl, but now we have a Harry, so have crossed it off the list!
I also like Audrey, Abigail, Milla, Jemima, Imogen, Elise, Lara, Ava, Alana... and the list goes on happy.gif . I have 2 boys, so hopefully will get a chance to use at least one of these names in the future!
