I can’t really find a girls name that I like. I’m not really into pretty girly names at all. This is such a struggle. Pretty much everything we like is really a boys name My older son [name_m]Maddox[/name_m] [name_m]Killian[/name_m] was a fairly easy name for us. The names we really like are different. I don’t really like anything super traditional. We were originally looking for an name to go with [name_f]Thea[/name_f], which we both like as a middle and would want to use as a honor name for my grandma [name_f]Thelma[/name_f]. Neither me nor DH really like it as a first. It’s too girly to be our style. Originally my husband wanted an A name because his Grandmother died recently and her name started with A. But as our son was already named for his uncle he said he doesn’t care too much and would rather go with my grandma. We don’t feel like any of our top picks really goes with [name_f]Thea[/name_f] and suggestions would be nice.
First names we do like are
[name_u]Sutton[/name_u]
[name_u]Amari[/name_u]
[name_u]Abbott[/name_u]
[name_u]August[/name_u]
[name_u]Spencer[/name_u]
[name_u]Amory[/name_u]
[name_u]Luca[/name_u]
[name_f]Rhiannon[/name_f] (only real girls name)
[name_u]Sutton[/name_u] [name_f]Thea[/name_f] is actually quite nice. I’m starting to really like [name_u]Sutton[/name_u] and I think it goes nicely with [name_m]Maddox[/name_m].
Inspired by your list:
[name_f]Ailani[/name_f] [name_f]Thea[/name_f]
[name_u]Auden[/name_u] [name_f]Thea[/name_f]

DH nixed Harlowe and [name_u]Marlowe[/name_u] which I did like. Nice suggestions
[name_u]Amari[/name_u] [name_f]Thea[/name_f] and [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_f]Thea[/name_f] are my top choices!
[name_u]August[/name_u] and [name_m]Maddox[/name_m] make a good pair. I would use the nickname Auggie.
[name_u]Luca[/name_u] I like with the nickname [name_f]Lu[/name_f] for a girl
Least favourites are [name_u]Sutton[/name_u], [name_u]Abbott[/name_u] and [name_f]Rhiannon[/name_f]
I think [name_u]Amari[/name_u] [name_f]Thea[/name_f] is a unique and pretty combo.

I like [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_f]Thea[/name_f] and [name_u]Sutton[/name_u] [name_f]Thea[/name_f] from your list. Have you considered [name_f]Thora[/name_f] as a first name as a nod to your relative? I think it goes well with [name_m]Maddox[/name_m]!
From your list I like [name_u]Sutton[/name_u] [name_f]Thea[/name_f] the most.

I love [name_f]Riannon[/name_f]!! It is one of my favorites with the nickname [name_u]Rory[/name_u]. [name_u]Rory[/name_u] is good by itself too.
I love [name_u]Holland[/name_u] and I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_f]Tamsin[/name_f] but I’m worried that [name_f]Tamsin[/name_f] would get shortened to [name_f]Tammy[/name_f] and I don’t like that so not sure.

I know a girl with this name and I don’t think this has been an issue for her. I think [name_f]Tammy[/name_f] is pretty dated now to the point where it’s unlikely to stick, even if someone uses it. Also, [name_f]Tamsin[/name_f] is not a long or overly complicated name - there’s really no need for a nickname. [name_m]Just[/name_m] something to consider if it’s a name you really love!
YESSSSS [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_f]Thea[/name_f] is so cute! I had this same thought!!
I also like [name_u]Kingsley[/name_u] [name_f]Thea[/name_f], [name_u]Emerson[/name_u] [name_f]Thea[/name_f] and [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] [name_f]Thea[/name_f]
I know you aren’t into girly names, but I wonder if you might want to toss around the names [name_f]Anthea[/name_f] or [name_f]Althea[/name_f] for the middle name spot? Might be a way to honor both sides of the family?
I really like [name_u]August[/name_u] [name_f]Thea[/name_f].
Because of the way the “t” sounds finished at the end of [name_u]August[/name_u], I find it doesn’t run into the “t” sound in [name_f]Thea[/name_f], which is more of a a “th” sound anyways.
[name_u]August[/name_u] [name_f]Thea[/name_f] & [name_m]Maddox[/name_m] [name_m]Killian[/name_m] sound like a great sibset to me.
I love, love, love the suggestion of [name_f]Thora[/name_f] with [name_m]Maddox[/name_m].
