We already have 4 girls - Honey, Indigo, Starling and Bluebell.

We're a bit stuck for another girls name.
The only one we both like is Aurora but we're not enamoured by it.
We'd love something sea or sailing themed but can't think of anything

If it's a boy our top 5 are

  • Eden
  • Clover
  • Apollo
  • Elm
  • Argyll

I do like River and Astrid for a girl.
Although I'm not sure how well Astrid would go with the girls names.

I think I'll scratch Clover off the list for boys then.
Eden is my favourite, followed by Argyll.
Elm and Apollo are dp's suggestion
Dh also likes Firth for a boy but I'm not sure Confused

Acer is lovely but reminds me of the laptop brand
The only Rowan's I've know have been girls and one of them I went to high school with and we didn't get along particularly well so I think that's off the list Grin

Another one for River for a girl (although not really sea themed)

restingbf · 19/07/2018 23:06

Eden is the nicest out of the boys names you've chosen.

I like Ariel and Oceana for a girl

ProseccoPoppy · 19/07/2018 23:02

I think Eden and Clover are both girl’s names. Especially Clover (eg What Katy Did).

For girls: Ariel or Aphrodite?

Boys - Elm is kind of odd. If you want a tree name Ash or Rowan would be better imo (Rowan would be a nice fit with the family names).

strawberrypenguin · 19/07/2018 22:58

Apollo is my favourite of your boys names but you might get people making a Battlestar Galactica connection.
Rowan is a nice boys nature name

DramaAlpaca · 19/07/2018 22:58

Errmm, Clover for a boy? It's most definitely a girls' name. As is Eden, for that matter.

KanyeWesticle · 19/07/2018 22:58

Eden and Clover are lovely for a girl.

redmini4 · 19/07/2018 22:58

Love Storm. Or Nerissa, Delphine, Mara.

Like Apollo best from your list.

Picknickers · 19/07/2018 22:58

Cordelia "Of the sea"
Coventina "Water goddess"
Genevieve "White wave"
Jennifer "White wave"
Marella "Shining sea. Variant of Muriel."
Marilla "Shining sea. Variant of Muriel."
Meredith "Protector of the sea"
Morgana "Dweller of the sea"
Morgane "Dweller of the sea"
Muriel "Shining sea"
Ula "Sea jewel"
Una "White wave"

Clover for a boy is utterly dreadful.

I know you haven’t asked for opinions but be fair. Life is tough enough without being a 15 year old lad called Clover.

Harper
Scout
Piper
Eliza

Zeke
Rex
Willoughby

RickOShay · 19/07/2018 22:57

Acer is a great boys name imho

strawberrypenguin · 19/07/2018 22:57

Astrid
Minerva
Calypso
River

Queenbee93 · 19/07/2018 22:56

Wow congratulations!
I actually much prefer clover for a girl and I think it's so beautiful

LovingLola · 19/07/2018 22:55

Clover is a girl's name.
Would you want to be called Elm?

IVEgotthePOWER · 19/07/2018 22:54

Arielle

RickOShay · 19/07/2018 22:54

Ocean

Storm

Marina

Misty
