5 days old daughter - help us decide on her name

108 replies

ruthietoothie · 02/11/2016 19:32

I had a little girl five days ago and am having a hard time deciding on her name.

We already have a boy and a girl (Liam and Katie) so it needs to be something that goes with that...

Current favourites are Nina or Josie, with other contenders Leah and Sadie.

She is a red head at the moment, and (if anything like other two will be strong willed).

What are people's preferences? Our surname is Bell if that makes a difference too?

tIA, sleep deprivation means making this decision feels crazy hard xx

(Ever considered Patricia as a first name, nn Patsy? Aww Patsy Leah Bell... very sweet!

Congratulations Flowers

Gorgeous baby OP! Good luck choosing her name.

OhTheRoses · 02/11/2016 20:14

Nina. You can't have Sadie and Katie, or Josie and Katie.

I think Nina suits her.

RavioliOnToast · 02/11/2016 20:10

Nina is an absolutely beautiful name meaning dream or dreamer. I love it so much!

angelpuffs · 02/11/2016 20:09

Gorgeous baby- Nina is lovely . Congratulations x

PhantasmMode · 02/11/2016 20:09

My vote goes to Nina!

But I love the idea of calling her baby bell Smile

She's a beautiful little thing.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 02/11/2016 20:07

Josie Leah, OP she is absolutely beautiful.

Chinnygirl · 02/11/2016 20:07

Nina Patricia

Cute girl.

Warl · 02/11/2016 20:06

She's definitely a Josie Smile

TheWrathFromHighAtopTheThing · 02/11/2016 20:05

I love love love Nina Smile

Bostonbullsmumma · 02/11/2016 20:04

Sadie

She is beautiful- congratulations and I love her little vest that she has on

neonrainbow · 02/11/2016 20:03

I like josie followed by nina. Josephine is lovely :) i think leah is too close to liam but it wouldn't matter for a middle name. So josie Leah

Foxtato · 02/11/2016 20:01

I thought Josie sounded lovely with your other 2 but then I saw her picture and I love Sadie for her! Either of those would be lovely. Congratulations Smile

NetHag · 02/11/2016 20:01

Congratulations. She is absolutely gorgeous!

I love all of your names. I think she's a Nina, too Grin.

BarInSpace · 02/11/2016 20:00

Congratulations!

I vote for Josie Leah.

Veterinari · 02/11/2016 19:59

Nina is cute for a little one and super cool when she gets older
Nina-bean!

cuntspud · 02/11/2016 19:57

She's gorgeous! definitely a NinaSmile

redheadbarmaid · 02/11/2016 19:55

Aww so gorgeous!

I think she's a Sadie Patricia

ruthietoothie · 02/11/2016 19:50

Hah, here she is contemplating what name she likes best.

On middle names, it would most likely be Patricia or Leah after my granny's.

Thanks so much for all the thoughts and preferences. Keep them coming Smile

I think both Sadie and Josie go best with your other names. Congratulations.

bluechameleon · 02/11/2016 19:41

I like Nina and Sadie best. I agree with pps that Leah is too similar to Liam and I'm not ever so keen on Josie.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 02/11/2016 19:41

Josie, I love it.
Josephine Bell
Josette Bell

GentleOnMyMind · 02/11/2016 19:38

I think Liam and Leah are too similar but the others are lovely.

SlinkyB · 02/11/2016 19:38

Congratulations! I agree we need a photo Grin

I'm afraid I think Sadie is too similar to Katie, and Leah too close in sound to Liam.

My suggestions would be Marnie, Sophie or Sophia. Will she have a middle name? And are you currently calling her Baby Bel?! Grin I took a week to name ds1, don't rush.

Rainbowqueeen · 02/11/2016 19:37

Nina
Gorgeous but not too popular
