We’re so excited! (I’m going to have TWO Princesses to spoil!) And yes, I cried like a baby when I found out it was a girl. Picture a big, broad man – head down in the ultrasound room as my lovely wife rubs my head and laughs. What a sight!
Anyhow, my family has a shortage of girls so this is going to be BIG news! The only problem is…I DON’T KNOW ANY GOOD GIRL NAMES!
Can you help us out? Please?
Hey Jeffy!
Aw, that’s awesome news. Just imagine a PMS’ing teenaged daughter. Hehehehe …
Names eh? I don’t know how much help I’ll be as I’m a big fan of rather old fashioned names. Some of my favourites are:
Hazel
Julia
Olivia
Constance
Victoria
Have fun with the name-game!
- Tonia S.Jeff, that’s great news for sure!!! Congratulations!!!
I would think that with your VERY Scottish name, you’d be definitely looking for something Celtic for your little Sweetie!
Something like Moira or Isla is really nice for a wee lass…..
- ShannonI second Shannon’s suggestion of Isla. I know two baby Islas in my neck of the woods…great name!
- Erin K.Little girls are the best things that happens to fathers…..
I love this, check!
Cliona – (KLEE-a-na)
- JABOld Irish=name Clidna. In legend, Clidna was the name of one of the three beautiful daughters of the poet Manannan mac Lir. A fairy of the same name was the guardian spirit of the MacCarthys. Modern Irish Cliodhna.
Or this one might suit her…….Abaigeal – (AB-i-gel) “father’s joy.” Abigail, Abaigh, Abbie
- JABHi Jeff!
My husband and I named our daughter Sierra Grace. However being part irish, I wanted to write it Ciara. Might be an idea!

http://babynamesworld.parentsconnect.com/girls-names.html
- Laura BasileHey Jeff.
Congrats on your soon-to-be baby girl. It’s so much easier to be creative with girls’ names! (I had two boys, never got to use my girly names) Sixteen years ago, my girl name of choice was Fallon. (I probably would have spelled it “Fallyn”, just to be different)
Today, I really like Delaney.
Good Luck!
- Suzanne HawthorneSuzanne
Congrats Jeff!!

Danika
Ashlyn
Anya
Dahlia
Keelia
Elena
Risika
That’s all I have right now if I think of any more names I’ll post again.
Best Wishes and Luck
- JessicaCongradulations ! I like soft unusual name like Ariel, Janel, Janik (for a little more spunk) my favorite, Jaelle/ Jael. ( in French the letter “e” would have 2 dots on top, like NOEL). I also like Matisse (after the painter) for either a girl or boy.
- SylvieCongratulations to both of you!
Here are my suggestions for a girl’s name: Kyana and Marissa.
Wishing the baby the best of health.
Pauline
- Pauline ViauCongratulations Jeff! How about Alexia. It means “Defender, protector”. I wish you and your family all the best.
- MarianneCongratulations Jeff.
Suggested name:
Jande Anna
- ClaudetteHey Jeff, congrats to you and yours.
Name her: Felicity Anne
- ClaudetteCongrats on the baby news! As I was only blessed with boys I was unable to use the little girl name that my husband had picked out. The name that I suggest would be Annika, also with many different spellings but that department is up to you guys. I am sure what ever name you choose will be special!
Best of Luck!
- saraI think “Geneva” is an awesome name, which I was going to call my third child but he turned to out to be a boy!!
- Melanie SCongratulations Jeff!!
- ChantalMy daughter’s name is Natanya. We always get wonderful comments about her unique but not over-the-top name…and it means gift from God. Wishing you and your family all the best.
Hey Jeff
Here are some nice and unique but not weird names:
Dior
- MarnieGrace
Cassandra

Hi Jeff,
I have two daughters, names are Dorinda and Chélina.
I always get compliments on how different they are.
One is 14 and the other 11, and have never come across them since.
Good luck with your beautiful daughters, they really are lots of fun.
- TanyaTanya

The name is a constellation and the main character in the Golden Compass trilogy. Have fun selecting a name!
- AngeMy husband and I really loved the name Lyra (pronounced Lie-ra), and have yet to meet one other than our daughter
Hi Jeff, congratulations to both of you. I have 2 wonderful boys, but if I had a girl, it would have been Sabrina.
- SylvieJust a question…
- JessicaWhat’s your other daughter’s name? Maybe you could pick a name that would best compliment her big sister’s name? *enters subliminal message here* Madison, Madison, Madison…lol

Leyna (Lee-nah)
Madeline

- janeHey Jeff,
Here Are a few Girls Names for ya both,
Laura
Roxy
Roxanne
Jen
Jenny
Jennifer
Hope All is Well for the 2 of ya.
- Adam FelixHello My name is Brittany,
- Brittany HeinsAnd I think you should name your baby girl
Jude..
I love it i have never met a girl named Jude…But I love the beatles..!
Jude!!
- Brittany HeinsHi Jeff,
- KellyI have no children, but tons of nieces and nephews. I hear that combining the parents names to create a new name is all the rage these days. I don’t recall your wife’s name (Erin?) but say it were Erin, you might call your wee girl Jerin, or Effie…good luck and congrats to you all!
We named our daughter Kyla Heather, and she is now taking Radio Broadcasting at Algonquin.
- Sylvia NoortI hope that you have more than one bathroom in your house, if not, you’ll be waiting in line to sh t, shower and shave. As for the name of your daughter, may I suggest a combination of both yours and your wifes names, initials. When I had my daughter, I wanted a unique name. At the time, Amanda, Ashley, Jessica, were the popular names. I made up my own name for our daughter, her fathers name is Jeff also and I’m Sandi, I took the first two letters of our names and came up with Jessa. Her full name is Jessa Jade Leduc, she is a real jem. When we had our son I wanted to call him Saje,or Brendon, again a combination of family names(Brenda,his grandmother, and Donald his grandfather). Anyway, Congratulations, I hope I’ve given you some helpful hints to giving your daughter a totally unique name. Best wishes to you and your family during this festive season, and make sure you give your wife a huge KISS and HUG for having such beautiful babies, she deserves it.
- Sandi McConnellHey Jeff,
A lot of my names are already there (boy a lot of names ending in ‘a’!) I don’t think I saw this one yet, how about ‘Lauren’? it’s kinda simple and sophisticated.
- AndreeHi Jeff
- KellyMy daughters name is Taya, which my husband heard on the radio …….we changed the spelling of it as it should be Tea
Congrats! How about:
Siobhan
Caitriona
Iona
Lorna
Margaret
Can I also highly recommend this site to you. You’ll get more than your fair share of ideas.
