Daughter still has no name!

[Tomfunsnumber1trolley]

DD1 was born on Sunday and still has no name. The more I concentrate on naming her the more confused and unsure I am! DH has decided I can have the final say, tbh I'm annoyed with him as if he'd discussed this sensibly whilst I was pregnant we'd have a name by now.

On the shortlist is:

Cecily
Kitty
Ianthe
Isadora
Theda
Saoirse (DH is Irish and DS also has an Irish name)

Which do people like the best? I'm not putting it to the MN vote but feel like I'm going around in circles and can't imagine her called any of these names! Not asking family for feedback, my mum is far too nosy and MIL actually sent a list of suggestions earlier on today! Thanks

Saoirse

I'd avoid the Irish one if you are not in Ireland as she will have a lifetime of saying 'no, not Say Horsey' to people when its written down.

I like Kitty & its not on your list but Thea, can be pronounced Thea to rhyme with ear or Thea to rhyme with sayer.

Ianthe

Can't say Isadora without singing Wizadora.

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

I love Kitty, one of my favourite names.

I also love Isadora who could be Izzie or Dora if liked

[Beanzmeanzcoffee]

I love Isadora. Unusual but not weird. Hmm but bare in mind Dora (the explorer) and finding dory. Wouldn't bother me though.
Saoirse is lovely but uncommon outside or Ireland-I think she'd have a lifetime of explaining it to people.

[margaritasbythesea]

I love Cecily. Very pretty.

[datingbarb]

I like Isodora and kitty the best! Sorry I think Saoirse is such a harsh/ hard name for a young girl

[Gracey79]

Cecily

[Strokethefurrywall]

Saoirse is my absolute favorite and was top of my list for DS2.

So so pretty!

[whatsagoodusername]

Cecily!

[FreeFromHarm]

Cecily or cecille

[NoCapes]

Isadora

[Allalonenow]

Cecily is just lovely, cool classic, not over used.

I like Isadora too, but not keen on Isa or Dora as nn.

Kitty is cute as a nn for Katherine but not keen on it otherwise.

Midnight I've heard many different pronunciations of Saoirse, say horsey has never been one of them. It is a difficult one to pronounce though for a lot of people!

[Mozismyhero]

I was the same with my DS2. In the end we gave our DS1 the final say (out of 2 choices) Am still not 100% with our final choice to be honest although I couldn't imagine him being anything else now.
I like Kitty from your list but would register as Katherine so she can use the more formal name in the future if she wanted to. Lots of variations with Katherine too (Kate/Kathy/Kitty).

[Tomfunsnumber1trolley]

Thanks for all the replies. I do like Thea and it was on my list when I was pregnant with DS. It does seem to have become more popular in the the last few years. I like Xanthe too but don't want to add more names to the mix as DH did this this morning and my head can't cope. I will suggest it to him when he comes home though.

[MidnightVelvettheSixth]

I was trying to be phonetic with it 2 :) its pronounced Seersha isn't it?

[DavidPuddy]

How about Yolande?

[ThisPasadenaHomemaker]

I only really like Saoirse from your list.

The others would sound rather odd with an Irish sibling name.

Oh and Congratulations 👶💐💐

[DavidPuddy]

Sorry, just seen you don't want new suggestions. Of your list I like Kitty if it is derived from Katherine.

[babyblabber]

Saoirse is gorgeous, as is the meaning. It's easy to say once you know so she wouldn't have to tell people more than once!

[Raines100]

Saoirse is stunning, and I would give the English a bit more credit. I'm sure we can cope with it

[LeonoraFlorence]

I like Isadora or Cecily :) Congratulations!
