What will Nico’s brother or sister be called?!

42 replies

friesB4guys · 05/06/2019 13:52

DD is 18m and her new sibling will be with us in October! The name pool is currently non existent!

Nico was the only girl’s name on our list & I’d had it in the back of my mind for years.

I like unusual-ish names (i liked that there were only 7 girl Nicos on the ONS spreadsheet before ours was born!) but my husband wouldn’t agree to anything too out there. It must flow with Nico & also a one syllable surname (so in my mind needs to be 2+ syllables!)

He has ruled out Quinn/Indie/Pearl for a girl & Rafael/Roman/Indie/Enzo for a boy amongst others. I’m cool with this as it’s important we’re both 100% as we were with our previous two names! (Haven’t found out sex either time)

So basically looking for some inspo from a wider field.....

Thanks guys! Liking Thea, Rigby & Willow so far!

Willow has been on a middle name list in the back of my mind! My favourite tree 😂

Nope, My Girl definitely only came out 7 years ago. I refuse to accept otherwise.

MemorialBeach · 05/06/2019 19:13

And for unusual names, I have a couple of names of female family members which I would love to have used had I ever had children. Children aren't going to happens for me now, so happy to suggest them here for someone wanting unusual names:

Roby
Nelia (pronounced Knee-leea)

MemorialBeach · 05/06/2019 19:10

My Girl is much older than 7 years old, and 20 years old, it was made in 1991!

ItsInTheSpoon · 05/06/2019 17:12

Shadow1234 · 05/06/2019 17:08

Not overly unusual, but a few suggestions:

One of Coldplay has a daughter called Nico

Penny4Thoughts · 05/06/2019 16:40

@Quintella the film must be older than that I watched it as a child - it must be closer to 20 years old

Penny4Thoughts · 05/06/2019 16:36

My name is Vada, was named after the character in my girl, and have only heard of one other!

That film is only 7 years old. You should not be on the internet unsupervised.

Thanks @quintella

@bridget not exclusively although i tend to naturally favour interchangeable names for some reason! She really suits Nico, promise!
