First baby in October - name help please!

Girl Names

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] all,

This is my first time on this forum as I will be expecting my first baby in [name_f]October[/name_f]. I’m just starting to think about what to name the little one and I could definitely use some help.

Here are some of the names I’ve been thinking about for if it’s a girl. (I know I want to give my baby at least two names, maybe three if I like the combination).

First names:
[name_f]Mia[/name_f], [name_f]Leora[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], [name_f]Nia[/name_f], [name_f]Franka[/name_f], [name_f]Katie[/name_f], [name_f]Eira[/name_f], [name_f]Moxie[/name_f], Sama

Second names:
[name_m]Pippin[/name_m], [name_u]Marlowe[/name_u], Rozen, Lenthe, [name_f]Emma[/name_f], [name_f]Francesca[/name_f] (my mum), [name_m]Wolfe[/name_m], [name_f]May[/name_f], [name_f]Cosima[/name_f], [name_u]Wren[/name_u], [name_f]Catharina[/name_f] (grandmother), [name_u]Artemis[/name_u], [name_u]Winter[/name_u]

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] you can offer some advice on these names, or maybe even suggest other names that I might like based on the list above.

Best wishes,
[name_f]Liv[/name_f]

To give you an idea of what I’m thinking about. Combinations I really like are:

  • [name_f]Katie[/name_f] [name_f]Leora[/name_f]
  • [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_m]Wolfe[/name_m]

or with a third name:

  • [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] [name_m]Wolfe[/name_m]
  • [name_f]Katie[/name_f] [name_m]Pippin[/name_m] [name_f]Leora[/name_f]

[name_f]Moxie[/name_f] [name_f]Francesca[/name_f] is my top choice from your lists, but the flow really depends on your last name.

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

Here are my thoughts on your list:

[name_f]Mia[/name_f]-I love this. It’s my sweet kitty’s name. It’s spunky, feminine & a little artsy. My cat’s name is [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Mia[/name_f], but I find it lovely either way. It is way popular; at least in the U.S. [name_f]Mia[/name_f] [name_f]Francesca[/name_f] would be gorgeous! [name_f]Mia[/name_f] [name_f]Francesca[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u] is actually really cool too.

[name_f]Leora[/name_f]-Ooh, I like this too. A beautiful Hebrew name. It’s super simple, yet not at all common. It grows up well. It’s feminine w/out being too frilly. I like [name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_f]Cosima[/name_f].

[name_f]Lily[/name_f]-Very pretty. Also rather common. It could also be a nn for [name_f]Lilia[/name_f]/[name_f]Lilian[/name_f]/[name_f]Liliana[/name_f] if you want a more formal option. [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Francesca[/name_f] or [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Catharina[/name_f] are perfect to honor family members. [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Francesca[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u] is fantastic.

[name_f]Daisy[/name_f]-This is my newest favorite name. It’s very kind & has a beautiful imagery. [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_f]Catharina[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u] is perfect. [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Catharina[/name_f] is also quite nice.

[name_f]Nia[/name_f]-I adore [name_f]Mia[/name_f] & [name_f]Niamh[/name_f], but don’t care for this for some reason. I think that I have a bad personal association w/[name_f]Nina[/name_f], & it reminds me of that.

[name_f]Franka[/name_f]-This kind of reminds me of [name_m]Franco[/name_m], which is a boy name . It’s not my style.

[name_f]Katie[/name_f]-This is just a little over done & dated. If anything, I’d do it as a nn. [name_f]Catharina[/name_f] nn [name_f]Catie[/name_f] would be better. Or if you didn’t want to use the exact same name, I love [name_f]Catriona[/name_f].

[name_f]Eira[/name_f]-I’m not sure that I like this. I really like the name [name_u]Ira[/name_u] for a boy, so it seems odd.

[name_f]Moxie[/name_f]-I know an adorable cat called this, but it doesn’t seem great for a human.

Sama-Hm. This doesn’t have that pretty of a sound in my opinion.

Thank you so much for your feedback.

I actually really really like your suggestion [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] [name_m]Pippin[/name_m]. It’s so pretty! Putting that one on my list right away :slight_smile:

[name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u] or [name_f]Nia[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] [name_m]Wolff[/name_m]

Heres a tip. Dont give your baby two middle names. It’s pointless. If you want a first name with two names I’d suggest [name_u]Winn[/name_u] [name_f]Dixie[/name_f].

Here are some first and middle combinations I like alot from your list.

[name_f]Mia[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f]
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_f]Francesca[/name_f]
[name_f]Moxie[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u]
[name_f]Franka[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u]

Your list is so refreshing! I love seeing unique but not too out there names.

Some combo ideas:
[name_f]Franka[/name_f] [name_f]Catharina[/name_f] (can honour both mother and grandmothe)
[name_f]Franka[/name_f] [name_m]Pippin[/name_m] [name_f]May[/name_f]
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Catharina[/name_f]
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Cosima[/name_f]
[name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_f]May[/name_f]
[name_f]Moxie[/name_f] [name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u]

Other names:
[name_u]Fifer[/name_u]
[name_f]Goldie[/name_f]
[name_f]Pia[/name_f]
[name_f]Marcy[/name_f]
[name_m]Miller[/name_m]
[name_f]Tilly[/name_f]
[name_f]Rita[/name_f]
[name_f]Lenore[/name_f]
[name_f]Brynn[/name_f]

[name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_u]Marlowe[/name_u], [name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u] or [name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f] would be my choice. I also would prefer the spelling [name_f]Liora[/name_f].

What about [name_f]Maisie[/name_f], [name_f]Iris[/name_f], or [name_f]Elara[/name_f]? Also I think [name_f]Kate[/name_f] could be a good middle choice if you wanted to honour [name_f]Catharina[/name_f].

Thank you! I like [name_f]Leora[/name_f] [name_u]Winter[/name_u] :slight_smile:

13

Thank you! That’s such a compliment :slight_smile: My family seems to always think that my baby name preferences are strange or odd - so that means a lot.

[name_f]Franka[/name_f] [name_m]Pippin[/name_m] [name_f]May[/name_f] sounds really nice! And [name_f]Moxie[/name_f] ([name_f]Emma[/name_f]) [name_u]Wren[/name_u] would also be a good option.

From your suggestions I like the name [name_f]Goldie[/name_f] :slight_smile:

Congratulations :slight_smile:

My pick for you from your list would be [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_f]Francesca[/name_f]. [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] has the cheerful, perky, familiar quality of names like [name_f]Moxie[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Mia[/name_f] and [name_f]Katie[/name_f], but it’s also graceful and melodic like [name_f]Eira[/name_f], Sama and [name_f]Leora[/name_f]. [name_f]Francesca[/name_f] pairs beautifully with [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], and I love it when the middle name is an honor name; it makes the name all the more special.

A few other ideas: [name_f]Lila[/name_f], [name_f]Katia[/name_f] (could be an honor name for your grandmother), [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f], [name_f]Evie[/name_f], [name_u]Eden[/name_u], [name_f]Pippa[/name_f], [name_f]Mila[/name_f], [name_f]Poppy[/name_f], [name_f]Lola[/name_f], [name_f]Eva[/name_f], [name_f]Isla[/name_f], [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Luna[/name_f], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f], [name_f]Georgia[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_u]Piper[/name_u], [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], [name_f]Stella[/name_f], [name_u]Rory[/name_u]
