A Girl After Four Boys

Girl Names
1

I thought I was done having kiddos, but this little girl snuck up on me and I’m struggling with picking the “perfect name” for my only girl after a pile of boys.

My boys are:

B0dhi J@meson Le3

P@x H0mer Le0dis

Shil0h R@dley Blyth3

Tru3tt Wil3y Thom@s

Everyone has two middle names and they all have “lee” in their names somewhere, both of which are family traditions that I intend to use this time too. Middle names are also names honoring in some way, shape or form.

When I was pregnant with my boys, our girl names were always [name_f]Clementine[/name_f], [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] and [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f], but none of those really feel fitting this time around. [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] came close, but I have a friend that named her daughter [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] almost three years ago and it’s just too close.

I’ve really liked [name_f]Fia[/name_f] (or the original “Fiadh”, but her dad hates that spelling), but it almost doesn’t seem like… enough for some reason. [name_f]Fia[/name_f] is still close to the top though, I love its meaning.

[name_m]Other[/name_m] names that have crossed my mind are:

[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]

[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]

[name_f]Ivy[/name_f]

[name_f]Thora[/name_f]

[name_f]Maeve[/name_f] (getting too popular?)

[name_f]Thalia[/name_f]

[name_m]Rowan[/name_m] (too popular for boys)

[name_f]Luella[/name_f]

[name_m]Linden[/name_m]

[name_f]Magnolia[/name_f]

[name_f]Odette[/name_f]

Names I’d like to honor are [name_f]Goldie[/name_f] (Marigold, [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f], etc.), [name_f]Marylee[/name_f] (Rosemary, etc.) and [name_f]Everly[/name_f]

I love the idea of “dark cottagecore” names, like… earthy and maybe a little “witchy” without being [name_f]Raven[/name_f], [name_f]Luna[/name_f] or [name_f]Lilith[/name_f] :sweat_smile: All of my boys have names with peaceful, still meanings and I love the exact opposite vibe for my girl.

I would love to see what you guys suggest as far as first names only, as well as combos that fit our family and my goal aesthetic!

[name_m]You[/name_m] might like [name_f]Fiora[/name_f], [name_f]Ffion[/name_f], or [name_f]Ophira[/name_f] with nickname [name_f]Fia[/name_f]! [name_f]Ophira[/name_f] means “Gold”, so it could honor [name_f]Goldie[/name_f] as well, AND it’s similar to [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]!

Maybe something like [name_f]Ophira[/name_f] [name_f]Hayley[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] “Fia” or [name_f]Fiora[/name_f] [name_m]Linden[/name_m] [name_f]Selene[/name_f] “Fia” or [name_f]Ffion[/name_f] [name_f]Marceline[/name_f] [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] “Fia”.

Big congrats!

I would go for a girls’ name that is short to medium looking -like your others - and has the same American outdoorsy/beachy/breezy, quietly virtuous spirit.

I also think it’s nice if they have their own starting letter.

So I think Fia works really well. I also like Luella, and I like Odette but not straight after Truett. Maybe Oona instead so not getting repeat sound?

I really like the suggestion of Ffion!

How about otherwise:

Greer
Fleur
Fern
Iona
Verity
Vera
Maren
Mara
Vesper
Haven
Nola
Nell
Eira
Opal
Mabel
Honor
Romy
Hollis
Ever (direct Everly honour)
Esther or Aster
Carys
Willa
Xanthe (nn Goldie via meaning)
Jemima
Lovella (nn Wolfie)
Laurel
Leonor or Lenore (Lee honoured in first)

For middles, I like:

Mary Lee
Mary Rose
Everly
Goldie
Honey
Eve or Ever
Evelyn
Rosalie
Marigold
Marielle / Mariella
Leah
Orla (golden princess)
Ophira (as above)
Leonor
