Girls names?

Lucinda Marples.

This makes me chuckle but I can’t adequately explain why?

It’s now making Mrs F laugh too.

Jacquie – it’s died out

Where do you work? Is it in America?

where was she concieved

My sister-in-law registered her second boy as Billy, and could not understand why we suggested that William might give him more options..

im not sure who in 2035 is going to care whether her son is called Billy or William. I struggle to see who would care today to the extent it would affect opportunity, and he can always change it if he is so worried.

Now if I were worried about opportunity then

Nothing asexual (Sam, Chris, Charlie), and definitely nothing which people will overwhelmingly assume is a boy (Rowan).

I’d say that’s wrong … there is still some degree of latent discrimination and a name that stops that happening on paper might just give some extra opportunities when someone is sifting cvs etc. That said my daughter got a “feminine” name.

Stella Rose
Connie Mae
Or just Dave…

Isla and Amelie are our two girls

Although Amelie sometimes gets Emily and Amelia

We really liked Isla but it appears to be very popular now which puts me off for some reason. Amelie is nice but middle name begins with A. So far we have:

Ariella
Evangeline
Isabella
Arabella
Tali
Talia
Talula
Orla
Autumn
Freya
Arla
Lilith

Yep, some begin with A and we appear to be hippies 🙂 Funk Jr is Eben Hendrix so we have previous for hippy names

Fun ‘see how popular your baby’s name was in 2016’ thing here…

It’s a shame that Chlamydia has such negative connotations – it’d make a lovely girls name and easily shortened to Clemmy.

My only advise is to think like a horrid school bully and try to eliminate any possible ‘play on words’ names – we had Isla as a girls name, but our surname is White so that was swiftly crossed off…

Here is our running list;

Darcey
Connie
Poppy
Florence
Tuppence
Jophy
Meredith
Sophia
Millie
Clemency
Primrose 
Merryn

Our oldest is May, and the 6wk old squawker just to my right is called Fleur.

For a while Ursula was in the running, and I still really like it.

Our daughter is Mathilda, it works in English and Danish unlike many names.
Had a French girlfriend called Aureli once, I wouldn’t recommend that name.

Adolf.

Adolf

If we were having a boy it would have been Adolf Judas, alas it was not to be

adolf judas only beaten by Donald genghis marples.

My only advise is to think like a horrid school bully

I’d cross Tuppence off your list quick then if I was you 😆

I had a great aunt Anastasia, only spoke Spanish, chewed tobacco.

Martha’s due a comeback.

Constance and Penelope are nice names for people.

Connie.
Penny.

Both lovely for a budgie.

Myra

Losa

Losa is a beautiful person, that always has times for others. She presents herself very well and once you get to know her, you’ll never regret meeting her. She has an amazing personality, quite bubbly. The strength within her is immense. Only a few girls are lucky to be given the name, Losa. But once they’re given it, it’s the perfect fit for her. Their smiles are definitely something to be witnessed. They have your back, no matter what. And they can improve one’s mood instantly. The talents that are of a Losa are one of a kind. Just like her beauty and personality, her talents are unique. She’s trustworthy, honest, loyal, a great listener and whole lot more

where was she concieved

Fallopian Tube is a bit out there for a name, even by today’s standards.

lol at BatsvsSupes….that film was godawful 🙂

where was she concieved

Bus Shelter Marples.

I think we have a winner.

There’s a nurse in work called Bongi (Sibongile to her mum) and another lady called Marvellous.
I love both of those to be honest.

Boring in our bedroom Marples

Seriously?

Assuming you’re English, you might consider:

Zoë
Freya
Natalie
Monica
Julia

If you’re not English, what cultures are you and Mrs FMP able to authentically draw on?

I think California would make a nice girls name – with lots of catchy songs to sing to her. Also: easy to spell and not common.

Who wouldn’t want to sing, California knows how to party…(California love) to get their child off to sleep?

Mrs F has German and African ancestors (German gran, mum born in Namibia) and I’m the classic 400 generations of Yorkshireman. Although completely atheist we both love biblical and Hebrew names. Hence Funk Jr’s name.

Funk mk2 will have Astrid as a middle name (MIL and Grans name and been in family for a long time)

I think California would make a nice girls name – with lots of catchy songs to sing to her.

Any Chili Peppers song from 96 onwards “hip dip dye hopper California”

You could have a look in B&Q at the colour charts and see if you can find something suitable.

Heliotrope? Or to make it a little more modern, Hel’Io’Trope.

Perchita?

Surely percheetah would be better?

Cheetarah

we both love biblical and Hebrew names

I met somebody with the name Obadiah once, think it’s a great name for a boy, but I’d go with either Django or Thelonious for a boy myself.
My wife and I argued for ages over boys names, thankfully we had two girls 🙂

Thelonious is a great name, as is
Obadiah.

Brunhilde Tightwad?
Parsimonious Hun?

Zena

I suggested Brunhilda and got “the pregnant frown” this is something to be feared and means a temporary sense of humour failure has occurred 🙂

Obadiah

Was on our list along with Isaac had she been a boy. It’s much tougher picking a name this time around.

Ichabod

I have a nephew called Isiah
