Help deciding baby girl name

twyla is also a little girl in sir terry pratchett's novel "the hogfather". she's described as 4 going on 24!
but I rather like the name.

My sixth great grandchild was born last week, a girl. they have named her Daisy Ann, I had a lump in my throat. Ann is an old fashioned name, nobody names their daughter Ann these days, my name is Ann.

You've obviously been researching more unusual names. Maybe you want something less popular than the Olivias & Ellas. You must choose yourself with your partner, it's a wonderful blessing to be able to name your child.

I love the trend of naming children after the place they were conceived. If I'd done that, my son would be called Canvey Island. Hmmm....

OH and have often laughed about that trend. If we had done that, one of ours would have been called 'Fools Nook'.

It wouldn't have occurred to the late Queen that anyone would be crass and insensitive enough to use her personal and private name only used by her very nearest and dearest.

I think it’s pretty unforgivable of you to call her That markle woman’ Harry must have agreed and the late queen didn’t have it declared exclusive I expect they thought it would be a nice gesture

My friend’s granny told everyone that her new great granddaughter was called Kipper, when she was actually called Erin. She thought it was Herring, and then her elderly mind confused it again with Kipper. Erin is still called Kip.

This is funny but also so, so lovely!

Hope the poster comes back and let us know what they decided to call her in the end, it would be nice

My name is a little bit unusual and mispronounced by many. My husband’s is misspelt by nearly everybody! My children and grandchildren have straightforward names not misspelt or mispronounced by anyone. I’d recommend that. Don’t like Liora or Twyla, sorry.

Personally I don’t like either of the OP’s chosen names.
Some of my favourites in no particular order, are:
Ivy
Elsie
Edith
Heather
Jessica
Annie

There are some names I used to like but then met not so nice people with those names which turned me right off them 😂

It’s always interested me that so many baby girls are given ‘fashionable’ names, often for relatively short periods before another name hits the top, whereas that happens so much less frequently for boys, the majority of whom are given traditional names. Why is that?

Really?

River, Leaf, Ocean, Forest, Phoenix, Kai, Darcy, Finn, Theo....

It is the case though, if you look up the stats. Parents apparently choose more traditional, family names for boys than for girls. That doesn’t mean there aren’t some weird and wonderful boys names, just less of them than there are girls names.

“That Markle Wiman”?!
Good grief, you don’t think her husband had any input? 🙄

What do the parents of this little baby girl wish to name her ?

Our twin daughters are Noelle and Natalia.

They were not give middle names as they were given a middle name at their Baptism.

Noelle Christine & Natalia Marie ..

I have noticed that boys' names had become far less traditional, judging by some of the teenage boys in my granddaughters' peer group at school; some names sound like those of footballers. They are still as popular but not so much now.

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.

Absolutely!

Maybe Leonora or Tara?

I have always loved Lisbeth but sadly dh didn't

As it does when studying family history when people were much more conservative about choosing names. I have lost count of the number of Alexanders with the same surname I have been chasing.

William anyone?
Or John/Jonathan alternately over the generations?

Oh apologies Oreo I didn’t realise that.
It’s a good job though that there’s such a variety of names around or life would get very confusing!

I think the OP was in part concerned to use it because she isn't Jewish.

There are a lot of Hebrew names in common use though it seems to me.
