Girl Names
1

I’m looking for names for my baby girl due in [name_f]April[/name_f]! She will be our last, we have 3 daughters together, and DH has a son from a previous relationship.

Since we used all our favourites on our other little ones, we are completely out of ideas for our little darling, so we’d love some suggestions!!

Some names we like are:

[name_f]Nevaeh[/name_f] - I was considering this when i was having DD #2 but my sister used it before we got a chance to.
[name_f]Ellianna[/name_f] - DH’s ex’s daughter is Elliette.
[name_f]Candace[/name_f] - I used to love this until DH said it sounded like “canned a**” to him.
Kelys - the Welsh feminine form of [name_u]Kelly[/name_u]! DH’s family is Welsh.
[name_f]Cortnee[/name_f] - I love this but I’m not sold on it yet.
[name_f]Katelynn[/name_f] - DH likes this but I worry that it might be too popular??

MN will be [name_f]Serenity[/name_f], [name_f]Trinity[/name_f] or [name_u]Bliss[/name_u]. We considered Trinity Bliss but it’s not really for us.

I would suggest [name_f]Cadence[/name_f] as an alternative to [name_f]Candace[/name_f]. My top 3 favorites from your list are:

[name_f]Cadence[/name_f] [name_f]Trinity[/name_f]
[name_f]Cortnee[/name_f] [name_u]Bliss[/name_u]
[name_f]Katelynn[/name_f] [name_f]Serenity[/name_f]

I don’t think [name_f]Elianna[/name_f] is too close to Eliotte. That’s my favourite name from your list. Other ideas:

[name_f]Desirae[/name_f], [name_f]Britney[/name_f], Makynzie and:

[name_f]Dannika[/name_f]
[name_f]Madalyn[/name_f]
[name_u]Kyrie[/name_u]
[name_f]Alina[/name_f]
[name_f]Brielle[/name_f]
[name_f]Caia[/name_f]
[name_f]Gianna[/name_f]

I was about to suggest [name_f]Cadence[/name_f]! I have a very close friend named [name_f]Cadence[/name_f], who’s mother is [name_f]Candice[/name_f]. :slight_smile: I thought it was a cool way to honour her mom.

[name_f]Cortnee[/name_f] seems like a very trendy way to spells [name_u]Courtney[/name_u]. So does [name_f]Katelynn[/name_f] ([name_f]Caitlin[/name_f]). I’d suggest perhaps you may want to go with some other more familiar spellings.

Some suggestions you may like (my favourite part):
[name_f]Adeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Ariana[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
[name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f]
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f]Jenna[/name_f]
[name_f]Kiara[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]Monica[/name_f]

5

[name_f]Cerys[/name_f]/[name_f]Kerys[/name_f]
[name_f]Arielle[/name_f]
[name_f]Luna[/name_f]
[name_f]Raina[/name_f]
[name_u]Eden[/name_u]

Congrats on your little girl!

Some thoughts on your list, with suggestions:

[name_f]Ellianna[/name_f] and Elliette are a little close, especially if you want to use the nickname [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]! Names with similar sounds (but less similar to Elliette) include [name_f]Liliana[/name_f] and [name_f]Leilani[/name_f]. I really like [name_f]Leilani[/name_f] [name_f]Serenity[/name_f] with your sibset.

[name_f]Candace[/name_f] and Kelys — I’m not totally sure how to pronounce Kelys (in my head it’s [name_u]KAY[/name_u]-liss or KELL-iss), but I like that it represents your husband’s heritage. As a previous poster suggested and I’d like to second, another Welsh name you might like is [name_f]Carys[/name_f]/[name_f]Caris[/name_f]/[name_f]Cerys[/name_f]/[name_f]Karis[/name_f]. It means “love” and has a similar sound/cadence to [name_f]Candace[/name_f] and Kelys. [name_f]Carys[/name_f] [name_f]Trinity[/name_f] is a nice combo.

Like a previous poster, I think [name_f]Cortnee[/name_f] [name_u]Bliss[/name_u] is one of your best options.

[name_f]Katelynn[/name_f] with this spelling is not very popular, but there are so many spellings that [name_f]Caitlin[/name_f]/[name_f]Caitlyn[/name_f]/[name_f]Katelyn[/name_f] etc. might be pretty common in your area. Would you consider [name_f]Kailyn[/name_f]/[name_f]Kaelynn[/name_f]? There are tons of spellings to choose from, but the name isn’t quite as popular as [name_f]Katelynn[/name_f], et al. I like [name_f]Kailyn[/name_f] [name_f]Serenity[/name_f].

Good luck!

First of all I definitely don’t think [name_f]Elianna[/name_f] is too close to Elliette. I think [name_f]Elianna[/name_f] [name_u]Bliss[/name_u] is beautiful!
[name_f]Desirae[/name_f] [name_u]Harmony[/name_u], [name_f]Britney[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f], Makynzie [name_f]Hope[/name_f] and…
[name_f]Natalya[/name_f] [name_u]Bliss[/name_u]
[name_f]Elena[/name_f] [name_f]Trinity[/name_f]
[name_f]Liana[/name_f] [name_f]Serenity[/name_f]
[name_f]Samara[/name_f] [name_u]Bliss[/name_u]
[name_u]Hadley[/name_u] [name_u]Bliss[/name_u]
[name_f]Serenity[/name_f] [name_f]Hope[/name_f]
Miana [name_f]Trinity[/name_f]
[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps!!

I love [name_f]Elianna[/name_f] [name_u]Bliss[/name_u]!

In looking at your previously used names it seems like you like modern-sounding names…

Instead of [name_f]Neveah[/name_f], maybe [name_f]Nova[/name_f] or [name_f]Neve[/name_f]?
Instead of [name_f]Ellianna[/name_f], maybe [name_f]Erin[/name_f], [name_f]Elisa[/name_f]. or [name_f]Elen[/name_f] (bonus: [name_f]Elen[/name_f] is the Welsh form of [name_f]Helen[/name_f])?
Instead of [name_f]Candace[/name_f] or [name_f]Cortnee[/name_f], maybe [name_f]Chandra[/name_f], [name_f]Ciara[/name_f]/[name_f]Chiara[/name_f], or [name_f]Collette[/name_f]?
Instead of [name_f]Katelynn[/name_f], maybe [name_f]Karin[/name_f], [name_f]Kendra[/name_f], or [name_f]Kiara[/name_f]/[name_f]Keira[/name_f]/[name_f]Kyra[/name_f]?

Good luck! :slight_smile:

I like the suggestions of [name_f]Nova[/name_f] or [name_f]Cadence[/name_f]. [name_f]Cortnee[/name_f] changes the pronunciation of [name_u]Courtney[/name_u] for me FYI - it’s harsher sounding and looking (unless that’s what you’re going for?).

Agreed that if you wan’t to honour your Welsh side, there’s a lot of options, but Kelys isn’t one of them. If anything it looks like it is a Cornish word for “concealed.” Cornwall isn’t [name_m]Wales[/name_m] so I don’t think it works for you as intended. [name_f]Cerys[/name_f] or [name_f]Carys[/name_f] might be a good alternative.

13

This is maybe just maybe my namenerdness coming out :), but with sisters [name_f]Desirae[/name_f], Britney and Makynzie, I would try to stay away from another name ending in ey/ie/ee etc. Looks like you have lots of great suggestions!

15

I like Kelys

It’s different but still has a sort of “normal” to it. I think it also goes well with your other daughters since they have variations of other names and you said that Kelys is the welsh variation of [name_u]Kelly[/name_u].

[name_u]Aubrey[/name_u]
[name_f]Diana[/name_f]

[name_f]Layla[/name_f]
[name_f]Shaylee[/name_f]
[name_f]Fiona[/name_f]

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps!

[name_u]Courtney[/name_u] [name_u]Bliss[/name_u] is lovely!
[name_f]Desirae[/name_f], [name_f]Britney[/name_f], Makynzie and [name_u]Courtney[/name_u].
