Cannot think of a name for our baby girl ☺️

Name Advice
1

Hi[name_f][/name_f] everyone,

[name_f][/name_f]

We kept gender a surprise and baby girl has arrived! We are completely stuck on what to name her. We would like a name that is unusual in the sense it isn’t going to be a name where she meets lots of people sharing her name, a name that wears well as a child and adult and also one with a nice meaning.

[name_f][/name_f]

Names we like but not necessarily the one:

[name_f][/name_f]

Penelope

[name_f][/name_f]

Roxie

[name_f][/name_f]

Darcy

[name_f][/name_f]

Florence

[name_f][/name_f]

Georgia[name_f][/name_f] (Gigi)

[name_f][/name_f]

Harriet

[name_f][/name_f]

Margot

[name_f][/name_f]

Sybil

[name_f][/name_f]

Petra

[name_f][/name_f]

Grace

[name_f][/name_f]

Alicia

[name_f][/name_f]

Astrid

[name_f][/name_f]

Elowen

[name_f][/name_f]

Winnie

[name_f][/name_f]

Sienna

[name_f][/name_f]

Freya

[name_f][/name_f]

Erin

[name_f][/name_f]

Amelia

[name_f][/name_f]

Orla

[name_f][/name_f]

Cora

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f][/name_f]

Clara

[name_f][/name_f]

Celine

[name_f][/name_f]

Nora

[name_f][/name_f]

Saoirse

[name_f][/name_f]

Mila

[name_f][/name_f]

Ottilie

[name_f][/name_f]

Cecily

[name_f][/name_f]

Petra

[name_f][/name_f]

Piper

[name_f][/name_f]

Juniper

[name_f][/name_f]

Maeva

[name_f][/name_f]

Una

[name_f][/name_f]

Clover

[name_f][/name_f]

Maple

[name_f][/name_f]

Mabel

[name_f][/name_f]

Quinn

[name_f][/name_f]

Maya

[name_f][/name_f]

Keira

[name_f][/name_f]

Some of these have been ruled out.

[name_f][/name_f]

I like Irish[name_f][/name_f] names and nature names. Partner doesn’t love some of the Irish[name_f][/name_f] names I like because of the spellings. He likes unique names less than I do but also doesn’t want a really popular name for our daughter. We would like daughter’s name to go with Reuben[name_f][/name_f] and Phoebe[name_f][/name_f] well and would love any suggestions please.

[name_f][/name_f]

Feel[name_f][/name_f] like we haven’t necessarily found THE one yet.

[name_f]My[/name_f] first thought was [name_f]Cleo[/name_f], matches the spunk of some of your others, is unexpected yet familiar. And would work on an adult or child.

[name_f][/name_f]

Some other suggestions…

Less common & vintage classic girl names: [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], [name_f]Louisa[/name_f], [name_f]Esther[/name_f], [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f].

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Nature[/name_m] & whimsical girl names: [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f], [name_f]Wren[/name_f], Linnia, [name_f]Iris[/name_f].

[name_f][/name_f]

Celtic-inspired & unique names: [name_f]Bronwyn[/name_f], [name_f]Clea[/name_f], [name_f]Delphine[/name_f].

[name_f][/name_f]

Of the names you listed, [name_f]Astrid[/name_f], [name_f]Cecily[/name_f], [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f], and [name_f]Maeva[/name_f] seem to perfectly bridge the gap between your love for unique names and your partner’s preference for accessibility. They are all stylish, lovely, and less common than most of the others on your list.

[name_f][/name_f]

Two other [name_m]Irish[/name_m] names I love which I think fit the mold are; [name_f]Aisling[/name_f], it means ‘dream’ or ‘vision’, I also like [name_f]Niamh[/name_f] which mans ‘bright’ or ‘radiant’.

Can I suggest Clover?

Irish connections, a nature name, easy to spell, easy to understand, similar length to Reuben and Phoebe in both syllables and letters, recognisable but not popular.

[name_m]Just[/name_m] going off of wanting “a name that is unusual in the sense that it isn’t going to eb a name where she meets lots of people sharing her name” I would eliminate [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], [name_f]Margot[/name_f], [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], [name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_m]Reese[/name_m], [name_f]Clara[/name_f], [name_f]Nora[/name_f], and [name_f]Quinn[/name_f]. I’m sure this varies depending on where you live but those are all popular to VERY popular here.

[name_f][/name_f]

Going off of “a name that wears well as a child and adult” I would eliminate [name_f]Roxie[/name_f], [name_f]Winnie[/name_f], [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f], [name_f]Piper[/name_f], [name_f]Clover[/name_f], and [name_f]Maple[/name_f]. They just feel very Cutsey to me and I can’t picture an adult with those names easily.
