Ok so I like simple/shorter names, nothing too frilly, want something cool/surfey/ slightly bohemian but not too try hard....her brother's name is Finn if that gives an idea of our taste.

Thanks so much in advance this is driving us both nuts!

Ooh also what about saffron or juniper? I know sisters with these names and I love them.

emmyloo2 · 03/04/2013 23:49

Clara? Thea? These are two I am considering. Not sure they are really Boho though.

my second choice (and choice for a boy) was Dashiell (dash-ull), which I still think is great, put am very kindly sharing here Grin

OP my 5 mo DD is Scout! we do get some Hmm but lots of people love it and it has grown on those who weren't sure, including the great grandparents. She is going to grow up surfing in California fwiw Grin

Hawaiin names?!

Leia - child of heaven
Leilani - heavenly lei/royal child
Luana - happy/content
Maka - favourite one
Makani - the wind
Noa - free/freedom

I think these work:

Finn and Noa, Finn and Leia, Finn and Lulana (Lu or Lulu maybe?!), Finn and Leilani

Congrats and good luck!

Josie nn Jo that's pretty but still 'boyish'

BNmum · 03/04/2013 22:44

Sam? I love Aoifa, Romilly & George (Georgina). Finlay would have been a good tomboy name if brother hadn't got there first Smile

Bowlersarm · 03/04/2013 22:27

Jecca (short for Jessica)

legalalien · 03/04/2013 22:26

Kelly, for surf vibe and irishness that goes with Finn.

Or, at the risk of being a bit penguiny, Cody. Unisex, also Irish?

Lara is lovely.

Scout is awesome, although was actually a nickname in To Kill A Mockingbird so your DP is technically right Grin

Umanayana · 03/04/2013 22:18
