Hi all.. Thought i'd try and bump this old baby name thread i created last year. Unfortunately i had a mmc but hav now got a new bfp and my favourite game is thinking of baby names..
So to recap my
Ds - noah joseph
Dd - eden rose

Any name suggestions welcome both boys and girls. No W names, doesnt have to be biblical that just seemed to happen as we liked those names best.
Thanks x

Rebecca? Too long, maybe.

Biblical short names:

Esther
Leah
Junia/Julia
Mary
Naomi
Ruth
Delilah?

I don't know...

From your current selection, I think Thea and Isla are lovely names. Aurora is very nice (I wouldn't use it but don't be swayed by that, I think it's gorgeous).

Martha

Thea is gorgeous! Love it - was my grandmother's middle name and at the top of our list had DS been a girl. Much lovelier than Dawn, imho. Also love Elsa.

And you really shouldn't be swayed against Isla - it's beautiful and goes well with your other DC's names. Smile

Isla is a lovely name (my daughter's name!) And goes well with your others but be warned it is ridiculously popular (it wasn't when we named her :() number 8 in charts last year - so if you don't know any yet, you will! Iona is a nice alternative.

lottiegarbanzo · 19/12/2013 11:17

Or seasonal ones? Seasons, pagan festivals and goddesses?

lottiegarbanzo · 19/12/2013 11:13

Rufus is redhead name too.

If she might be red-headed how about a name referencing sunrise or sunset or morning or evening stars or crepuscular or red animals or plants? You seem to like nature-related names.

Probably not Eve, with Eden.

I'm struggling a bit but Sky, Dawn, Aurora (as in northern / southern lights), Venus (evening star), Phoebe (goddess of the moon). Robin, Holly (Rowan has red berries too of course).

Some more general celestial ones: Celeste, Ursula (little bear - Ursa minor).

Noah, Eden and ...
Lydia
Libby
Bea

I'm not great with names but I still like to try Wink

soontobeslendergirl · 18/12/2013 23:49

although Rowan and Rory should technically be used for red heads.

soontobeslendergirl · 18/12/2013 23:48

Rowan? that's unisex so you could use it regardless :)

The only Eden I know has a brother Jude. which again could be unisex and I would also suggest Rory - which I've heard used for a girl as well.

Isla or Ivy for the win.

If you want to keep with the biblical, you could use Grace or Faith as a middle name.

Although if I were naming your child, I would choose Ivy Magdalene.

soontobeslendergirl · 18/12/2013 23:16

Can I ask what your chosen name for a boy is?

soontobeslendergirl · 18/12/2013 23:16

Still like Mabel tho :)

soontobeslendergirl · 18/12/2013 23:15

Don't worry, it may not be popular where you are, Isla is a Scottish name so is bound to be more popular here. You get all sorts of regional quirks. for example in the very small primary (200 pupils) my children went to, there were 2 Pipers which I would say is a pretty unusual name.

There are also loads of Keirs in their High school (800 pupil) which again is a fairly unusual - My eldest has 4 in his year alone!

Msvee · 18/12/2013 23:11

Isla is lovely. Matches other dc perfectly.

Other suggestions.

Ivy
Imogen
Aria
Skye
Mila
Eva
Violet
Lila

OP posts:
soontobeslendergirl · 18/12/2013 22:38

Other suggestions:

Ariel
Julia
Tamar
Zoe

or, more in tune with Isla:
Ailsa
Iona
Lorna

soontobeslendergirl · 18/12/2013 22:29

Is Isla not really popular or is it just because I'm in Scotland?

Other than that, yes it flows well but isn't biblical as far as I know so it has a different root to your other children's names but that wouldn't bother me.

I actually really like Mabel as a first name too.

Thank you all for these replies.. Afew were on my possibles list (lois, naomi) ... I'm in UK so lots of old names are very popular at the mo (martha, esther, florence, faith, grace)
My favourite name i had on my list is Isla Mabel
I think Noah, Eden, and Isla flows nicely.
What do u think?? Anymore suggestions would be appreciated x x
