Help deciding baby girl name

Of all the ones you mention, I like Violet and Annabelle. Daisy too but it’s ubiquitous now. We’d settled on it for our firstborn in 1980. It was unusual then and the first person I told fell about laughing at the thought of it combined with our last name. On consideration she had a point, it didn’t really go well. We went for a classic name instead. Of course DD1 dislikes said “boring” name and would have loved to be a Daisy.

Lilibet is quite nice

Lilibert for a boy

What about Liliora? I have a niece called that and we call her Lili.

I absolutely can't stand Lilibet unless it's addressed to the Queen by a very close relative. It was unforgivable for that Markle woman to use it.

You are kidding!

My middle Gd was the only one in her school with her name and she said everybody knew who she was because of it.There were loads of Sophies and Erins and Annies and Ambers but just oe of he.I didn,t know wher it came from but have since foundout its Maori

I'm afraid that I don't like any of the names that xoubie and her husband suggest.
All my children have simple names that they could spell, and only one of them (Kate) knew other children with the same names.
My first grandchild was Isabelle and the primary school was stuffed with Isabelles, Bellas, Belles and so on. Two of my other grandchildren are adopted and have their original given names, one of which is rather fancy and was to my taste when I first heard it, but you do get used to them and stop thinking about it.
You have to be a bit careful what to choose with Mae, perhaps Nora(h) or Ellie?

Cressida. The name Liora is an old, Jewish name. It's not, as you say, out there.

Liora is a Jewish name, it means light in Hebrew.A very pretty name, but I dislike Twyla.
It’s often difficult for Mum to be and Dad to be agreeing on a name, whittle it down to two names each and then choose one from each of you to be a first and second name.😃

How about Elizabeth? A beautiful classic and after our late queen.
I understand it has more diminutives than almost any other girl's name, so plenty for the child to decide on, when she's older?

If a child is given a very unusual first name, they should have another traditional name that they can use instead if they don't like their first name.
Liora Anne?
Twyla (don't!) Elizabeth?

Very handy if you have twins, one of each.
Betty and Bertie for short.

Personally, I don't like Twyla (twirl, twiddle, twill, twilight) and it reminds me of some brand of sanitaryware. Twyfords? But it might be very popular.

There are hundreds of Hebrew girls' names to choose from, hope you find one that suits you both. Or suits the baby when she (presumably you know it's a girl) arrives. Other people can't choose for you.

I prefer names to be traditional and familiar. While names are meant to uniquely identify us, is also important that they are not easily mistaken or misspelt or have the capacity to be used unkindly.

While Liora is pretty, chances are it will mean a lifetime of having to say she isn’t Laura.

Twyla has an alternate spelling Twila (and variants Tayla and Tylah which I’m sure end up confused with Taylor and Tyler).

I would definitely avoid names that could be used to give someone a nickname. I’m going to be blunt but I’m afraid "twirler" has some unpleasant meanings in urban slang. You don’t want to be putting a sensitive teen in a position where she's being called Twyla the Twirler.

I dislike both those names.
My favourites at the moment are Welsh names Annest or Bethan .

Naomi is a name that can be pronounced all around the world apparently.

That might be worth considering.

Annest really is unusual, JamesandJohn33, I just looked it up, and there have only been 29 babies named that in the last 30 years in England and Wales. I like it, but I hadn’t heard of it before, although I’m in Wales, and we have lots of Welsh names in the family.

I think if you have a short list or even a definite name, why ask random strangers opinion. It's entirely up to you and your o/h. This is a thing on MN, occasionally a poster will moot an "out there" name say T'wnyah or some ridiculous made up name, then there's a pile on of "noooooo" plus a couple of polar opposite suggestions, along the lines of have you considered "Mary/Daphne/Agnes"

Sorry I don't like either but I do love the name Lydia, which has Greek origins, mentioned in the old testament and means beautiful or noble one.

Please think hard before saddling the little one with a lifetime of people asking how to spell her name. I have never met anyone with mine and am over 80 and cursed my mother for her choice even though now I am glad to be unique - by name, anyway. For most of my life I was known by a shortened version but when we moved thirty years ago there was already an elderly lady in the village with my short form so I reverted to the longer version. I can tell how long I have known people by what they call me!

Annest is a variant of Agnes.

I knew someone called Nest years ago.

We named our geese Betty and Bertie
JenniRen.

I'd never heard either of your choices xoubie and wouldn't know how to pronounce them.

We have our DC plain easy to spell names.
DDs was rather old fashioned so as a child she didn't like it but now she's grown up she does.

Liora is pretty...but many might just say Laura. I like Francesca.

Fifty years ago our neighbour babysat for a child called Twyla. Haven’t heard the name again until I saw this post.

Please say that the suggestion for a boy of Lilibert was a wind up.

Having given them names, I hope they were pets and not for the table!
