She looks lovely, and congratulations to you both.

I can only think of Mercedes, but that might cause confusion in you household


Tessa sounds nice for that happy little face

Congrat's. What are the other things we should know? Sibling's names, heritage, surname etc. A forename is party of a package

But fwiw - out of the list you've given(and no offence intended):

Molloy - sounds like a boy's name
Grace - nice
Grainne - Granny for a little one
Erin - nice
Shauna - bit chavvy sorry
Dana - OK
Sorcha - nope
Briana - Brainy? (and very neighbours )
Cliona - when she's a teenager - the potential for nicknames!
Danielle - OK but a bit chavvy
Finnoula - not sure

how about Iona, Rose, Maisie?

Hold her in your arms, look out of the window and you may be inspired..

Rose
Sun
Rainbow
Lilly
Two dogs shagging

Anyway never mind the names, congratulations Im sure by now you know the drill.

Grace, meaning beauty and charm that’s all she needs in life.

Congratulations.

Pammy

You have a PM

It is Molly not Molloy.



Iain

Friends just called their new baby Aoife so that kinda rules that out.

Drill was started last night

well, ours was born on the 7th of april (4th month) 2007 so 747 so jumbo jet so jumbo - so elephant so Ella...

(actually we made this up after we had decided on the name)
Have you looked up all the meanings of the names in your shortlist to help decide?

Good luck! we found it tough too.

I have a daughter called Grace and the newest one is called Evie so I would have to choose Grace.
When Evie was born we didn't have a name but had a shortlist of about five names, as soon as she came out she just kinda looked like an Evie

Forgot to say congratulations to you both:bannana:

 

[pammy]

You have a reply

I love the name Molly, also Martha and Maisie and I think they go well with your surname too. Iona still works as do Grace and Rose.

I like to think of what people will shorten names too because no matter how much you say it's not going to happen it does, so I go for worse case scenario. With my two I knew Megan would get Meg so we started the trend with Meggi, Meg Meg, Megs and Megan on Sundays. Up to now, that's all she's had. Joshua - went straight to Joshy, Josh Squash(I'm cruel ) and good old Josh. Again, they're what's stuck. Not Josh Squash though, that's a Mum one

I know how cruel kids can be if they are given an open target for a nickname.

Mercedes?

Congrats btw

 

[glojo]

I hate fashionable names,
This is your fifth child and I'm sure you must have a list somewhere of your own favourites.

CONGRATULATIONS and Good luck with the decisions.
Regards
John

Erin is a nice name, it's also what my sister is called, not that she's nice! Congrats!

 

[Theothers]

Congratulations and good luck with the name, if our boys had been girls they would have been Elisabeth and Victoria

 

[purplegoddess]

congrats to u both
how about pippa-leigh
or poppy

 

[A-AvantGarde]

Congratualtions, I'd look into the meanings as that's pretty important. As Pammy said no matter what you pick it will get shortned!

I like Erin.

 

[ET4]

Emily Charlotte . . . . only cause it's my little girl . .

I also like Grace . .

but it's up to you. I named my little boy after seeing what he looked like ! I dismissed half the names cause he did'nt look like a Jack or James or whatever. They all have their own characteristics . . . . have a long look at her and see what fits
My mate in Oz called his girl Willow Star . . . everybody's different.

Well done to you both !

 

[AbbieCadabra]

congratulations!

for obvious reasons, i'd go with Abigail first , i do like Grace & Erin too. my best friends little girl is India-Poppy, so either of those.

best wishes to you all x
