Hi
i hope you all can help me
I'm still not sure on what name for a baby girl.
Is it true that naming a baby girl is much more important than when you name a baby boy?
Any help/advice would be good

Naming a baby girl is only more important if you're having a baby girl. Every child is important, and deserves the same care with the choosing of his or her name. I'm not really sure where you got the idea that naming girls was more important than naming boys.
Anyway, it'd be easier to make suggestions if we had some idea of names you already like. Are there any that sort of stick out to you? Your family tree is also always a good place to find something meaningful.
Hmmm...here are some to think about:
Audrey
Genevieve
Isabel
Phoebe
Elizabeth (nn Beth, Liz, Eliza, Liza, Betty, Betsy, Lily, Ellie, etc.)
Rebecca
Cora
Corinne
Margaret (nn Meg, Maggie, Greta, Maisie)
Caroline
Celeste
Charlotte
Alice
Amelia
Eleanor
Clara
Claudia
Naomi
Lillian
Melanie
Helena
Jacqueline
Catherine (nn Cate)
Natalie
Rachel
Victoria
I think it's very smart to want something that ages well with your daughter, a lot of people just go for something that's "cute" as a baby/ child, and then ends up being too cutesy on an adult. Are there any on this list that you like? It might help us give you more suggestions.

Thanks belle_petite for the siggy!
I think these names are feminine and traditional; and grow well from a toddler to a teen to an adult.
Jillian
Cassandra
Camille
Charlotte
Amelia
Lydia
Teresa/Tessa
Andrea
Audra
Jenna
Paige
Why would naming a girl be more important??
My advice - pick a name that means something.
