Struggling with Short List

27 replies

I already have a son Noah H Surname.
I use both his first name and his first/middle name when I refer to him.
I do prefer names that are less likely to be shortened. Popularity is not my first thought when it comes to names. So please no comments about "too popular".
Im so unsure on the names and really don't know what to use.

Matilda - Girls name I had with my son. Still like it but not sure its "the one". Something is giving me doubts.

Summer - Gives me a lovely feeling. I love everything Summer/Beach/Nautical so felt this would be a lovely name.

Harper - Again Girls name when I had my son, family all said its very "Beckhams". Maybe need something more traditional with Noah.

Sofia - New addition to the list. Simple and elegant.

Eden - Saw this in a birth announcement recently and seemed really pretty and unusual. Too biblical with Noah? Have read it can be unisex which puts me off.

Daisy Anna - Came up with this whilst watering the flowers...... Sounded beautiful but is it just another 5 minute wonder name.

Jacob - Was put off this with first son due to the meaning, hence why I chose Noah instead. Would I regret not using?

Jasper - Slightly guilty pleasure name. Quite like its quirkiness but not sure if goes with Noah or if I'd be brave enough to use.

Please help, just going round in circles. Add names to my list, take them off, add them again..... Ahhhh!!

I like Jasper and Summer best from your lists. I really like Sofia too.
