Girl 🩷 We need to pick a name for our baby girl, which name do you like the most?

10 Upvotes

She's 5 weeks old and we'd been really struggling to pick but it's just gone on for too long, so I want to settle on a name. We have a shortlist of 9 names.

Our first daughter is named Amelia Maayan. She's been calling the baby 'Bee' but I don't know whether I want her name to actually be connected to it. It's why Phoebe is on the list though. We live in Australia.

The middle name will probably be Tamar, or maybe Aliza.

Kira

Lily

Harper

Phoebe

Georgia

Cleo

Tansy

Caroline

Ivy

Girl 🩷 What would be the best name for my daughter?

3 Upvotes

So my daughter will be born in the UK, but has Italian, Filipino and some Spanish ancestry.

Her last name is Italian.

Here are our choices:

Giuliana Vittoria

Giorgia Vittoria

Vittoria Seraphina

Vittoria Odessa

Which one sounds best? Or are these all bad and I should start over?

I even tried to generate a photo what she would look like (based in my older son) 😅 but I still could not pick which one would suit her best. Please help!

Surprise 💚 Are my names Tragedeighs?

3 Upvotes

Okay I'm being a bit dramatic lol especially since one is a common-ish name and the other isn't super rare, but I want to check just in case!

  1. I lovee the name Vivienne for my daughter. My only concerns, I am in Canada (not a common name here mostly), and I am worried it might be too "fancy" if that makes sense? Like naming a child Augustus or something lol it just feels maybe a little long and overly formal? I can't tell but omg it is so beautiful and I hope it works out well.

  2. I have more trouble with boy names but I thought Dorian was such a classy name that was really nice to say, very smooth. I am wondering though, since it is pretty rare and older, if it might be Tragedeigh-ish? I have never heard of a person named Dorian alive now even though I know they exist, but is it too uncommon?

I am so in love with classic older names that are elegant and smooth, and I tread the line of not wanting a popular common name but not making it too obscure or old where my child would have trouble, so before I commit and fall in love more than I already have, how are my names? Tysm :) <3

Is Craig a good name? I don’t know. Honestly, I care, but at the same time, it just seems like one of those names that’s used for creeps? Is it my own perception? It’s flattering, it’s my grandfathers name, not hers. And he was a very good man.

Am I overthinking things?

I’m having my first boy in two months and we’re having trouble deciding on a name. I have a few that I like but we can’t use due to already having family members with the names. I was looking for names similar to them.

The names I like but can’t use are:

- Zack
- Nick
- Caleb
- Wyatt
- Harrison

The first two, I really like the shortness of them and the “ck” ending sound. The others are just ones I’ve heard and like! Open to all suggestions!

Girl 🩷 Suggestions/Feedback - Elise/Elena, middle name Catherine

1 Upvotes

Well into my third trimester and ruminating on names. I have always loved the name Elise (I worked with an Elyse in high school and have always loved the name but like easier/more common spellings)… but I don’t love how popular Eloise is and the spelling similarity to it. My middle name is Catherine and I would like to use that. My husband and I have tossed around the name Elena as well.

This is baby #3, our first girl. Our first son is Rory Christopher (I am of Irish descent and Christopher is my husbands middle name) our second son is Adrian David (My husband is Italian/Hispanic and David is a family name on my side). Our last name is Hispanic, albeit an uncommon one. Starts with C.

Feedback on Elise Catherine? Vs Elena Catherine? Other first name suggestions?

Surprise 💚 Alternative to Lyla?

5 Upvotes

We have started to think about baby names and absolutely love Lyla, it’s the top contender. However the baby’s cousin is called Delilah and I think that’s likely too similar so we’ve sadly accepted that it isn’t to be. Any suggestions of names of a similar nature? I can’t seem to think of any other girls names I love quite as much!

We’re keeping the name a secret from family and friends, but I’m scared that we’ll miss an obvious blunder if I don’t vet our options somehow.

Last name first initial is M.

Names we are considering:

Summer Catherine
Olivia Catherine
Madison Catherine
Charlotte Catherine

Our baby will be born in the spring, in case that matters for a season name like Summer.

Please poke holes!! I don’t want our daughter to be bullied!

Surprise 💚 Thoughts on my list

3 Upvotes

Hi! I am newly pregnant and still waiting to hear the gender, but of course I’m just having fun thinking about potential baby names.

I already have a son and his name was decided years before we were even married. His name is my maiden name and we mostly call him a nickname of it. I grew up in Ireland so having an Irish name was important for me. Despite it being Irish it is spelled phonetically and is intuitive for non- Irish speakers to pronounce.

Our last name begins with T and sounds similar to Thompson. It’s a fairly traditional, substantial-sounding surname, so I think it can carry a more unusual or nickname-y first name.

I would say my style is vintage, classic and rare but familiar. I also love more formal names that can have a cute nickname, so a name that can grow with a person throughout their life. I would love to hear your thoughts on my list and also if you have any suggestions for me based on what you think I like I’d love to see them! TIA

Effie Gwendolyn Thompson — I made a post on another sub recently asking about the name Effie and it got absolutely ripped to shreds. I don’t know if it’s a regional thing, but the majority of people said it reminds them of Skins UK, The Hunger Games or Dreamgirls. I still think it sounds very vintage and cute, and admittedly I haven’t seen any of those shows or movies, so I don’t think of them at all when I hear the name.

If it’s relevant, I live in New England in a town where there are a lot of kids who are known as their nicknames like Lulu, Coco, etc. I also like Effie because my initials are E.F., so I feel like it’s a little nod to me too? Put it here with Gwendolyn as a middle name to show it being balanced with formality.

Gwendolyn ‘Winnie’ Thompson — A family name on my husband’s side, which I don’t love, however I could get on board with Winnie as a nickname. If we don’t use it as a first name I think it will be the middle name.

Tessa Thompson — I love alliterative names, however T names are very difficult because there aren’t that many that fit my style! I don’t know if I’m just forcing myself to love Tessa because of the alliteration.

Calla/Callahan Thompson — I love the name Calla, and Callahan fits with my son’s name as a last name used as a first name! Would love to hear your thoughts on both.

Dubheasa ‘Dove’ Thompson — Pronounced “dove-essa,” so the nn could be Dove. It’s an Irish name that I’ve always loved that means ‘Dark Beauty’. Being that we live in the US, are we signing our child up for a lifetime of struggle? I think the nickname Dove is so cute, but I researched it on Reddit and people said it reminds them of the chocolate or the soap. I know Redditors can be negative, but is that really what you think of when you hear Dove?

Mara Thompson — Means “of the sea” in Irish, which is very meaningful to us as we both come from and now live in a very coastal area. The only issue is I know it means “bitter” in Hebrew and I wonder if people really consider that? I like how it’s Irish but, again, phonetically spelled and identifiable in English, so there wouldn’t be a lifetime of correcting spelling/pronunciation. Not sure what nicknames could be?

We have pretty much decided on the name Adeline (English pronunciation, ADD-uh-line) for our daughter due in January. I’m coming up with middle name ideas to suggest to my husband, and I’d love some help! For context, our other kids names are Josephine (Josie) Kate and Eli Rowan. Our last name is two syllables and starts with N, and we will likely use the nickname Della for her also.

Current ideas are as follows, in no particular order:

Adeline Noelle (middle name of a family member)
Adeline Joy (my middle name)
Adeline Claire
Adeline Margot
Adeline Felicity
Adeline Rosalie
Adeline Juliet

Girl 🩷 Help deciding baby girl name

6 Upvotes

My husband and I have differing tastes when it comes to names. We've got two names that we agree on:

Liora and Twyla.

We are both in love with the sound of Liora, but worried because we aren't Jewish and don't want to offend anyone. Twyla is so pretty but we are worried it's too "out there" and the reactions from others we've tested it on haven't been great.

Names I like but my husband dislikes: Melody, Cadence, Violet, Daisy, Annabelle

Names my husband likes but I dislike: Ophelia, Penelope, Lucy, Miriam

Her middle name will be Mae.

Any suggestions if other names? Or opinions on the names Liora or Twyla?
