Whatever you name your child....BE SURE THEY WILL BE ABLE TO LEARN TO SPELL THEIR NAME!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have known Mothers who could not spell the name they gave their child, so how do you expect the child to grow up and learn to spell their own name???? Just a thought...also it would be nice if it is something they won"t have a problem pronouncing...THE TEACHER WILL APPRECIATE IT!!!!!!!

Sharda April 24, 2013 | 11:49 AM

I am pregnant and looking for a really nice name for my daughter who will be here soon. Any ideas?

Ritzy April 17, 2013 | 11:10 AM

My middle name is Darlene. I hate it!! I have dimples and growing up I was teased with "Dimple Darling". I hated it. I have one daughter named Terra and another named Fauna. I wanted to adopt a little girl and I was going to name her Cheynne Sierra. Good luck and have enjoy!

Found out I was having a girl last week but still can't think of a name. By husband is keen on Tabitha, Naveen and Faith. I am torn towards Isa and Elsa as they are both short and catchy.

Precious March 28, 2013 | 11:08 AM

I don't know the gender of the baby, so that's why I'm on a girl's names ... I'm stumped! but I wanted to share my boy's name :) I think it's easier to pick a boy's name, but girls seem to be harder, for EVERYTHING lol.

Destinee February 19, 2013 | 9:23 PM

My fiance and I find out what were having on March 21 . We have already decided on a boys name which is very unquie, but were having a hard time agreeing on a girls name I need help nothings really standing out.

Vanessa February 13, 2013 | 11:05 AM

i am pregnant, i think i´ll name my daughter amber, i love this name and i know she will love it to when she grows up

Pumpina February 01, 2013 | 9:01 PM

I think to choose a good name, it helps if it sounds good.

Rosa January 23, 2013 | 3:43 AM

im stil waiting to find out the of my baby, but if bubs is a girl i think im gonna call her Layla Amor

Brianna December 30, 2012 | 11:45 AM

Jennifer, congratulations! I think u should definitely name your child Brianna it seems that you like that name and the only thing that matters is it's meaning to you I'm sure your little girl would turn out to be wonderful no matter what her name is. Brianna means strong and every Brianna I have met has been just that. I mean look how I turned out(:

Nadia December 22, 2012 | 12:04 PM

I think that name Rozalyn is nice it means Beautiful but Strong. I also agree with Emma there, naming your own child is important because they'll have that name for the rest of there Life. My Name is Nadia and i had no clue, my name meant Hope. And Jennifer congraualtions and Brianna means Primrose and See Brian.

jennifer December 19, 2012 | 12:21 PM

I am alredy pregnant and would like the name Brianna but has got no meaning.

kate November 25, 2012 | 9:07 PM

I am not even close to being pregnant yet I am really excited to name my daughter (if I am lucky enough to have one). I love the names: Lilly (or Elizabeth), Lux and Juliet. I really like girlie names. I'm sure there are many more out there that I have not researched. This makes me want to have a baby girl:)

treasure October 23, 2012 | 6:33 AM

You're right Emma, but some give their kids sweet names that starts with them on a wrong foot. E.g Cynthia- moon goddess!

Laurel September 21, 2012 | 4:52 PM

I think it is so important to give your child a name with meaning behind it. Naming a child is a huge responsibility and should not be taken lightly. It can be empowering for her throughout her life to know her parents thought so much of her at the beginning and that her names means something great.

Hannah September 21, 2012 | 1:26 PM

I agree with Emma that it's so important to have a name with a strong meaning behind it. These names are all so pretty! I really like Darlene. It's classic and timeless. Thanks for the suggestions. I have a few pregnant friends and I'm going to pass on this list to them.

Erin September 21, 2012 | 11:10 AM

I LOVE the name Mabel. I've been obsessing over it for quite some time now. Unfortunately, the hubs is not a huge fan so I don't see it being a possible contender for our next girl :(
