What do you think of these girls names for baby #3?

GIRL:

  • Bella-Rae (not decided on 2nd names for girl yet)
  • Miley-Rae
  • Mila-Rae

BOY:

  • Neo Cian Phoenix

My eldest son (18 yrs old), from a different relationship, is Jordan Joseph. I had slightly different name taste way back then, as its not as uncommon as id go for nowadays.

My 2nd child (8yrs old) is Brody Rocco Shae.

I prefer modern, uncommon names, with a bit of attitude!

Any other suggestions gratefully received!

Just seen your update.

I kind of like Remi but I think it's the name of the rat in ratatouille which wouldn't bother me in itself but it was also a horrible insult that was used by everyone when I was in high school

KronksSpinachPuffs · 15/09/2019 16:43

I only really like the Mila option out of your girls names but would say why would hyphenate it?

Neo is quite cool especially with Brody as his big brothers name

Hi OP.

Glad you’ve reconsidered your girls names as I thought they were all very popular.
Of your new ones I love Alana

Was also wondering if you like Indigo. Nickname Indi

elsieotter · 15/09/2019 09:12

My favourite boys names are Ace or Cole

Derbee · 04/09/2019 23:36

Hyphenated names are just AWFUL. Tacky and common. Brody is cute, so I’d try and go for cute but cool names rather than tacky.

Rae on its own? Nina?

Tillygetsit · 04/09/2019 22:49

Yikes horrible

Nettie1964 · 04/09/2019 11:43

Terrible sorry. They will be judged by their names as they get older. Not fair I know but what my mum would have called "common" sorry😁

Astronica · 04/09/2019 09:29

Mila and Nico would be good choices. I'd certainly skip the hyphen and if you really love Rae just make it Mila Rae and you can still use both if you want.

I only like Bella. The middle names aren’t great, every other little girl has the middle name Mae/Rae/Grace nowadays.

Not keen on Neo...

Frith2013 · 03/09/2019 12:43

Mila-Rae = mile away

Frith2013 · 03/09/2019 12:40

Nova-Rae sounds like something Darth Vader would power up on the Death Star to wipe out a planet.

Frith2013 · 03/09/2019 12:38

Can’t stand hyphenated names and Rae is a complete cop out as a middle name.

Morado · 03/09/2019 09:26

Nova really doesn't need shortening. My daughter has a two syllable name and my family have chosen a nickname with two syllables. It winds me up a bit cause she has a really beautiful rare name and they've just started calling her a different name all together 🙄 for example.. Say her name was Mika, they now sometimes call her Missy!

Anyway if you want a nickname that's upto you 😂 nevermind me..

I love your other names! I'm not fond of the hyphenated - Rae though as I saw a million of those whilst looking through the ONS list the other day!

NoSauce · 03/09/2019 09:14

Bella is nice but prefer Isabella. The rest are terrible.

Cherryblossomtrees · 03/09/2019 09:05

Mila and Cian are nice. The rest are not very nice, I'm sorry.

Maybe Nico as an alternative to Neo?

Brody is lovely (prefer Brodie, but still) but I think your girls names in particular are a bit down-market.

AverageMummy · 03/09/2019 09:01

I do think they are names that have ‘attitude’ if that’s what you’re going for. They sound like ‘will not listen to teachers, wont be bothering with a job’

AverageMummy · 03/09/2019 08:58

They’re awful - it might be unfair, no it is unfair, but giving your children names that sound like that will mean they’ll always be judged - in school, when they apply for jobs, university etc
I don’t agree with it, but it will happen.

Sophronia · 02/09/2019 20:50

They’re all awful and tacky, especially Miley-Rae.

YoureAllABunchOfBastards · 02/09/2019 17:40

Lots and lots of Miley/Millie/Mia about, so might be easily confused

daisypond · 02/09/2019 17:40

Your girl names are really awful. Why would you make them tackier by sticking hyphen Rae on the end? I could come round to Neo maybe but it makes me think of neonatal, etc, so gives the impression of a weak and small premature baby. How is Cian pronounced? The Irish way? That’s nice.
