I have a second baby girl due at the weekend. First girl is called Isla and we are looking for something that goes well with that. Like Anya and Esme but maybe not enough. Also quite like Mia but it's very popular. Any suggestions?

All are lovely names and would go well with Isla.

jessie123 · 11/06/2007 16:27

Love Anya! Never herd of anyone called that before sounds really pretty.

RoseQuartz · 11/06/2007 16:29

Yana, Kinda, Daloni, my 3 girls' nanes!!

TartanKnickers · 11/06/2007 16:30

My dd is Eilidh. Isla was my second choice , but maybe a bit too similar?

RoseQuartz · 11/06/2007 16:30

NAMES! sorry!! typing with 1 hand as feeding baby with other!!

MrsBadger · 11/06/2007 16:31

good shortlist - maybe wait and see whch she looks most like? Agree Mia is very popular though.

cece · 11/06/2007 16:41

Funny you should say that I have an Esme and DH siad to me the other day that Isla would go well with it were we to have another girl How about Thea? Always liked that too.

aprilmeadow · 11/06/2007 17:22

All pretty names. Agree that there are a fair few Mia's out there. I know an Anya and she is really sweet.

maxbear · 11/06/2007 20:28

My dd is Harriet (Hattie) so of course I think that that is the best girls name.

i also loved Lola until a Spanish friend told me that Lola is variation from the name DOLORES which means "PAIN".

MunchiesMama · 12/06/2007 08:03

What about Aoife pronounced ee-fa means "beautiful, radiant, joyful"

licketysplit · 12/06/2007 08:24

Hatrick, you have exceptional taste! You've named 2 of my DDs already, Ruby and Kitty bet you can't guess the 3rd!
