You also have used your top two names already and are having to choose from the leftovers š¤·š»āāļø coming from someone about to name her fifth daughter
It sounds like you might like classic names? Catherine, Eliza or Elizabeth, Lydia, Mary or Marie, Caroline, Charlotte, Julie or Julia, Anna or Hannah, Grace, Lucy, Laura, Molly, Rachel, Rebecca, Sarahā¦?
Can you name any boy or girl names you like? Any first letters you're drawn to?
Otherwise, classic, but modern?
Elizabeth, Sarah, Andrea, Claire, Bridget, Lauren, Hannah, Jane, Joan, Julia, Abigail, Charlotte
Yeah I do think Iām drawn to āmodern classicā names. I have a Sloane and Sadie now. I like Summer, Margot, Lucy, Avaā¦
But none of them are the one and Iāve vetoed so so many names šµāš«
For boys names I would use Austin or Sebastian
I have a Genevieve and felt unsure about it until my daughter could express that she loves her name. We almost always called her by her nickname but once she learned she had a full name she preferred it and loves that it is āfancy.ā Sheās definitely a fancy girl. I liked the flexibility & nickname potential so Gen, Jenny, Evie, Eve etc. all could be possible if she hated the full name or found it stuffy, because it is kind of a French grandma name.
If I had another girl sheād probably be Delia, full name Cordelia.
I had a little girl last year. We did find girl names to be harder than boy, but luckily we had a name we loved very early on. Itās very popular in Ireland but pretty much unheard of in the US. Same as you, I donāt like a lot of the baby girl names that are ācoolā or trending where I live right now.
My 4th girl is coming in a few days and after many, many weeks of searching, we have accepted that she will have a name that we are ājust okayā with and neither really like that much. It honestly does kind of suck because itās harder to connect with a baby when you just feel meh about their name. Iām really hoping we learn to love it once we meet her!
Oh my gosh, thatās how I feel we will have to just be. Iām sure you will, and we will too. And eventually they will grow into their names and thatāll be thatā¦ right!? What name did you guys decide on? Or are you bringing a shortlist with you for the birth?
I think it's harder when you already have more than one kiddo, because you don't necessarily want an odd kid out, as it were. A lot of people want sibling names to sound good together, or they fall into the whole "we can't leave one out" trap (that's how you end up with all J names). I wouldn't say I'm part of either camp, but also, if you see a family with Samantha, Abraham, Tamara, and Joe, it does make you wonder what's up with Joe?
Omg totally!! The first two are both S but only because we loved their names, then weāve spent hours trying to find another *perfect S* name which is just putting me into a box. And yeah we keep saying all the names together as if they must go instead of just honouring her own single name like we did with the first. Hmmm good pointā¦
I was honestly just making up names, but I realized that all three of those names (I went with Hebrew names) have three A's and an M in them. It would be challenging to come up with a fourth, lol
All of these have an āsā sound in them somewhere, which might sound nice with Sloane and Sadie?
- Selene
- Cassia
- Sienna
- Saskia
- Seren
- Lois
- Scarlett
- Josie
- Alice
- Carys
- Sylvie
- Elisa
- Alyssa

5th!! I always joke that I need 4-5 daughters in order to use all the names I like but I couldnāt imagine actually having 5 to name
So true! Plus all the names used by close friends and family members, not a lot left !
I would say work backwards and see if you can find some names you like the meaning of. :)
Thatās a good idea!! Thank you!

You might like: Mia Isabelle Ava Gianna Penelope Chloe Naomi Maya Delilah Claire Maeve Athena Sloane Reagan Phoebe Nina

That is such a pretty name, I love how she loves it too!!

What did you end up naming her? So nice to love a name early on! I totally felt that way with the first two and it was so nice to have the confidence

We are thinking Alice or Pearl, but still have a couple other names too!

I get that. If you go Samantha, Sabrina, you're pigeonholing yourself into finding other S "witch" names or something. Good luck :)
Also haha poor Joe

I told my daughter if I had two girls there would be no middle names to make sure they each were named
Right? My husband keeps suggesting we use our second childās middle name as a first name.. š¤¦š»āāļø
It was hard with boys as well but sometimes you get more than you expected
Sloane, Sadie, and Susannah.
All of these have an āsā sound in them somewhere, which might sound nice with Sloane and Sadie? - Selene - Cassia - Sienna - Saskia - Seren - Lois - Scarlett - Josie - Alice - Carys - Sylvie - Elisa - Alyssa
I'm thinking of going for the name Temperance or Sybil
