Which girl’s name do you like best? (Or hate least!?! 😆)

Our DS #1 is called: BRODY ROCCO SHAE.

Our surname is Lawlor.

We like less common names - not necessarily unique, but not in the top 100, and we tend to go for modern/trendy names.
We’re not into “pretty-pretty” or overly feminine names for girls. A “cute” name is fine, but with a more unisex vibe or hint of attitude/spunk!
Hope you get we’re looking for - it’s so hard to describe!

Which would you choose from this list?

Macey
Reya
Miley
Darcie
Remi
Nova
Wren

Or your own suggestion???

Middle names we like atm are Eden Sky or Sky Eden (whichever way round flows best with 1st name).

I quite like Raya. Not keen on the others.

Raya but this spelling. Don't like Reya. Don't mind Raeya.

And then the only other name I love is Nova. Don't really like the rest!

user1493494961 · 25/09/2019 12:13

Dislike them all, I would go with Eden.

NoSauce · 25/09/2019 10:52

I don’t like any of them.

Alba or Vita?

TheLovleyChebbyMcGee · 25/09/2019 10:42

Wren is beautiful, but I love Juno as well that a PP suggested. Not too keen on your others tbh, but its your baby mind!

VenusClapTrap · 25/09/2019 10:38

Wren is my favourite. I also like Reya but prefer the Reyia spelling.

Thatsnotmymammoth · 25/09/2019 10:02

DGD is Maisie and loads of people think it’s pronounced Macey

I like Wren but not keen on the others. I’d be concerned about teasing with Darcie because of the ‘arsy’ sound.

Kanga83 · 25/09/2019 10:02

I like Nova the best (to be honest it's the only one I like). Similar names- Luna, Tempest, Astrid

MikeUniformMike · 25/09/2019 09:56

Don't like any of them.
Reya is the least bad one but looks like Freya. I'm not keen on Freya either.

1Bobbinwinder · 25/09/2019 09:47

I like Reya! Or Raya

Cookit · 25/09/2019 09:41

@tellmewhenthespaceshiplandscoz I think that when people put full names especially when they say “surname is X, sibling is firstname middle name”

Anyway OP, I like Nova and Wren.

IckleBear · 25/09/2019 09:35

Remi Eden Sky

peppinanna · 25/09/2019 09:34

I love Darcie and Macey!! I don't mind Miley but do only think of Miley Cyrus. Wren is cute not keen on the others.
What about:
Romy
Shay
Maya
Stella
Piper
Coco
Demi

tellmewhenthespaceshiplandscoz · 25/09/2019 08:31

Remi is lovely and not too modern. Another vote for Juno too.

ELmi9876 · 25/09/2019 08:21

I like Darcie

RubbingHimSourly · 25/09/2019 08:21

Aubrey Eden Sky. Wink

mbb1 · 25/09/2019 08:20

Awful - all of them

tellmewhenthespaceshiplandscoz · 25/09/2019 08:18

OP have you really just put the full name of your first born on MN?! Confused

SuchAToDo · 25/09/2019 08:18

Darcey Eden Sky is nice Smile

AutumnalLeaves38 · 25/09/2019 08:16

Remi Sky Eden Lawlor

I picture a successful writer/artist/actress, fluent in several languages, who travels extensively and is renowned for her effortless style and creativity!

MarigoldGlove · 25/09/2019 07:05

Dc called Macey quite often get called Maisie in my experience.

I like Nova the best. It’s definitely got that fearless attitude vibe. Darcey and Miley are quite popular names.

PettyPrincess · 25/09/2019 07:00

Love them all accept Miley. You immediately think of Cyrus!

Cuppa12345 · 25/09/2019 06:56

Remi and Wren are the only ones I like in that list
