What do you think girls?

[bewdleygirl]

Would really appreciate your advice as me and DH are struggling to agree on a name for our little girl.

There's one below ( I won't tell you which, that I've loved for a long time and really really want but DH isn't convinced ). The other name carries a lot of meaning because it was DHs nans name and it was also my moms nans name so would carry a lot of significance for both sides of the family. I won't tell you which one's which.

I just really want a name that our LO will like growing up so would appreciate your advice and what name you'd prefer as a child through to an adult if you were in her shoes. I LOVE the old names but I'm just conscious that I don't want little one to feel like its too old fashioned.

Annie May
Tilly May

I like them both, at a push I'd choose Annie as we know a Tilly!

xxxxx

 

[lucylu87]

Id choose Annie too bt that's only cos my old cat was called Tilly. I like them both. Good choices.

 

[Kay Kay]

I love Annie, was oh's grans name and would have been an.option if we were having a girl xxx

 

[brand new]

I love both of them. So pretty. Xx

 

[bewdleygirl]

Thanks girls... Tilly is my favourite. I do like Annie I'm just worried it might be too old fashioned. I like how it sounds with 'may' though.

My middle name is Ann and although I've never disliked it as such I found it slightly old fashioned and was glad it wasn't my first name. Annie is softer than Ann but DH & I worry she might get nicknamed Ann, which we're not so keen on.

Just wish he loved Tilly as much as I do! xx

Annie sounds lovely and not old fashioned at all in the Annie form, makes me think of that film Annie, that I gre up with and loved..

Tilly I also really like just as much, prob slightly more common nowadays as more popular, so id narrowly have to choose Annie as my fav...

 

[bewdleygirl]

Thanks JJ! And huge congratulations hun...didn't realise you'd got your BFP, that's lovely news xx

 

[Kay1987]

I would choose Tilly myself, it's really pretty and girly. I'm not a fan of Annie. x

 

[positivity :)]

I love Tilly and have it on my list. I like Anna but not a fan of Annie xx

 

[bewdleygirl]

Thanks girls I'm hoping I can talk DH around to letting me have Tilly! I know it's slowly becoming more popular but I love it. All the other names I love have already been taken by other family members as we're the last to have a LO and I want to choose something different xx

Annie ...but I'm biased! Annie was the name of both my grandmothers so was a natural choice for us. I've always loved the name and there aren't too many around.
Tilly is a beautiful name too although I'd probably use Matilda as her full name and Tilly for short.
Good luck with your choice! Xx

I like Tilly! Very cute xxx (might even steal that as one of choices! ) x

Aw, thanks hun.

Annie sounds lovely with Florence, your family will be really proud being named after her grandmothers

[LYLLJellyTots]

I always thought Tilly was a shortened version of something? Prob me living in my own world again lol x I like both names hun just go with whatever feels right in your heart xxx

Yes, they were pretty chuffed! We used Florence as that was hubby's gran's name. Expecting a boy this time and don't have many family names to choose from
If it had have been a girl I would have liked Edith Catherine or Edith Rosemary...more family names!!
