My wife is pregnant with our first child, we do not yet know the gender of the baby. We've chosen a name for a boy but we are struggling to come up with a good baby girl's name. We've chosen native names (Ibo) we only need English names.

Any suggestions??

Are you a Christian? Name her Sharon(a fertile land)

Esther, Charlotte, Favor, Joy, Serah, Bernice

Choosing your baby's name should be a special and fun assignment between you and your wife. You're on nairaland, so I know you can utilize google. Type in "English babygirl names", if that's what you're looking for. You will find a ton along with their meanings. Write down the ones you like the best, pray over them if you must, and then decide on one. C'est tout!

Sharon was the name of my ex-wife, so that one is ruled out completely. I like Charlotte and Annabell.

Thanks to everyone.

Radiance (light of God)

Patience goodluck

You remember the Story in the Bible how God changed the name of Abraham to Abram and that of Jacob to Isreal and how both men's lives changed as their names were changed.

I would advice you and your wife to know the 'Real and Intending Meaning' of the Names you finally decided to name Her because in our Society (Nigeria) for and the World at large, (Christiand) or not names are so important and it has its SPIRITUAL implications whether you know/like it or not.
.
Don't just name your child any name because you feel the name is nice or generally acceptable. If you child is so important, so does her name because even God recognizes him or her with the name you name her.
'Remember how God called the names of Men and Women in Bible days (he didn't name them by Himself, their Parents did)'.
.
I would advice maybe you choose the name: SOPHIA (It's just a suggestion). It means Wisdom and as you know, it means God's Wisdom. ''Remember that WISDOM brings everything to you.''

Or better still just click on the link below and make a choice by Deeply looking at the meaning, not just the Sweetness of the name.
