stuck on girls names!

lola · Jul 6th, 2009, 12:08 PM

we have called our baby Poppy since we knew she was a girl but more and more people keep saying, 'oh I have a friend who has just had a baby called Poppy' and its putting us off

So please can you help!!!! the options we have at the moment are;

Poppy Sophia
Sofia Primrose
Sofia Bluebell
Perdita Sophia (Purdy for short)
Bluebell Sophia

I just don't know

thing is we really like Perdita as its very rare but everyone hates it.............. I really dont know now, any oppinions please please please?

I really like Poppy Sophia and if Poppy gets too common when she's in school she could always opt to use Sophia (though that's pretty popular as well). I'm a huge fan of Sophia so that name is a keeper to me.

that's why I will be keeping baby's name a secret until he/she is born.

People are less likely to voice their opinions if you wait until after LO is born. No one is going to tell you they hate the name when you show them your gorgeous baby and announce the name at the same time.

^ AMEN!

I LOVE Perdita! Go for it, girl!

I am gonna keep my baby name a secret IRL too. I announced that my LO was going to be called Eliza May before she was born (in may btw) and the inlaws hated it! I went ahead anyhow, but this time I cannot be doing with the stress.
PS I like all your names so go for it

Go with what you love!

I quite like Perdita!! Also like Bluebell too!!

I like Poppy and don't know anyone called it. I think you should stick with it!

lola · Jul 7th, 2009, 17:05 PM

Thanks girls

I think your right, we just wont say anything to anyone now and call her what we love when she gets here..... I think Perdita Sophia may be a winner......or even Bluebell Sophia..... who knows, we'll see what she looks like but you have given me the confidence to go with whatever feels right!
