Expecting our first

[name_m]New[/name_m] here. :slight_smile: I’m expecting our first child in a few months. We have no idea what to name him/her. To complicate things further, we are both from different origins. [name_f]My[/name_f] husband is originally from Greece, and I’m Italian/Dutch. We are now living in a different country, and therefore want something fairly international for our baby, but nothing too common either. We don’t want anything too complicated due to a long and complicated surname.

So far we have [name_m]Leo[/name_m] or [name_m]Silas[/name_m] for a boy, but we are stuck when it comes to girls names. Any boy/girl names ideas?

I think these feel international:

[name_f]Anna[/name_f]
[name_f]Lea[/name_f]
[name_f]Maria[/name_f]
[name_f]Nina[/name_f]
[name_f]Mia[/name_f]
[name_f]Sara[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Eva[/name_f]
[name_f]Sofia[/name_f]
[name_f]Zara[/name_f]
[name_f]Helena[/name_f]
[name_f]Miriam[/name_f]
[name_f]Tara[/name_f]

[name_m]Hugo[/name_m]
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m]
[name_m]Felix[/name_m]
[name_m]Daniel[/name_m]
[name_m]Marco[/name_m]
[name_m]Enzo[/name_m]
[name_u]Max[/name_u]
[name_u]Luca[/name_u]
[name_m]David[/name_m]
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m]
[name_m]Xavier[/name_m]

[name_u]Ruby[/name_u]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f]
[name_f]Mia[/name_f]
[name_f]Lily[/name_f]/[name_f]Lillie[/name_f]
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f]
[name_f]Annabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Elsa[/name_f]
[name_f]Emilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Emilie[/name_f]

[name_m]Oliver[/name_m]
[name_m]Milo[/name_m]
[name_u]August[/name_u]
[name_m]Felix[/name_m]
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m]
[name_m]Simon[/name_m]
[name_m]Julian[/name_m]
[name_u]Emmett[/name_u]
[name_u]Everett[/name_u]
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m]
[name_u]Asa[/name_u]

[name_f]My[/name_f] “go-to” international names would be names like [name_f]Anna[/name_f], [name_f]Maria[/name_f], [name_f]Sara/name_f, but perhaps you find them too common?

Some suggestions:
[name_f]Alexia[/name_f]
[name_f]Alina[/name_f]
[name_f]Anya[/name_f]
[name_f]Chloe[/name_f]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleni[/name_f]
[name_f]Elsa[/name_f]
[name_f]Emma[/name_f]
[name_f]Eva[/name_f]
[name_f]Flora[/name_f]
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f]
[name_f]Gianna[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Lara[/name_f]
[name_f]Lina[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucia[/name_f]
[name_f]Luna[/name_f]
[name_f]Maya[/name_f]
[name_f]Marina[/name_f]
[name_f]Nina[/name_f]
[name_f]Stella[/name_f]
[name_f]Thea[/name_f]
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f]

[name_m]Leo[/name_m] and [name_m]Silas[/name_m] are great, you might also consider [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m].

For a girl, perhaps names like [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f], [name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_f]Daphne[/name_f], [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], [name_f]Helena[/name_f], [name_f]Iris[/name_f], [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f], [name_f]Adelina[/name_f], [name_f]Elsa[/name_f], [name_f]Lucia[/name_f], [name_f]Rosa[/name_f], [name_f]Rosanna[/name_f], [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f], [name_f]Mariel[/name_f], or [name_f]Susanna[/name_f].

I love [name_m]Leo[/name_m]!

For a girl, I suggest:
[name_f]Alina[/name_f]
[name_f]Anya[/name_f]
[name_f]Chloe[/name_f]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleni[/name_f]
[name_f]Eva[/name_f]
[name_f]Flora[/name_f]
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Lara[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucia[/name_f]
[name_f]Luna[/name_f]
[name_f]Marina[/name_f]
[name_f]Nina[/name_f]
[name_f]Pia[/name_f]
[name_f]Stella[/name_f]
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f]

What about…

[name_f]Elena[/name_f]/[name_f]Lena[/name_f]
[name_f]Eve[/name_f]
[name_f]Mara[/name_f]
[name_f]Katrina[/name_f]
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f]
[name_f]Mya[/name_f]
[name_f]Lily[/name_f]
[name_f]Greta[/name_f]
[name_f]Nora[/name_f]
[name_f]Irene[/name_f]
[name_f]Elise[/name_f]

Thank you for all suggestions.
We are looking for a name that is not extremely popular, we would like something a little more unusual, but still international. So while I like [name_m]Alexander[/name_m], [name_m]David[/name_m] and [name_m]Oliver[/name_m], I find them too popular. I also like [name_m]Felix[/name_m] and [name_u]Luca[/name_u]. From the girls I like [name_f]Adelina[/name_f], [name_f]Luna[/name_f], [name_f]Stella[/name_f] and some of the others. I also like [name_f]Katrina[/name_f], but that is one of my own middle names. Maybe it works anyway.

girls

[name_f]Annika[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucia[/name_f]
[name_f]Marina[/name_f]

Boys

[name_u]Arlo[/name_u]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m]
[name_u]Theo[/name_u]
[name_m]Caleb[/name_m]
[name_m]Milo[/name_m]

Thank you. I like [name_f]Juliet[/name_f], [name_u]Theo[/name_u] and [name_m]Jonah[/name_m]. Prefer [name_f]Rosalia[/name_f] over [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f].
