Hi, I am not new to MN but have set up new account
I think my hormones are getting the better of me.

I have 3 other children 7,6 and 5. Traditional names but not twee or vintage . Think Grace etc
Have just found out I’m pg with very unexpected Baby number 4 (5y gap. Eeeek)
It feels like my first pregnancy all over again. It’s very early days but all I can think of is this baby. It’s consuming me !! I’m set on it being a girl even though it probably barely has genitalia yet :-)

Anyway, my mother is called Tina which I am not keen on but would like to nod to her in the name if it’s a girl so was thinking Tiana thoughts on that name please?
I am also seriously considering the name Navy for a girl as it’s small, cute and different. Am I nuts??
Also am slightly falling in love with Noa/ Noah for a girl which I also feel slightly bonkers for liking.
The only other names I really like are
Edie
Yvette
Tyra (banks will be old hat in 10/15y, no?)
Fiona
Tess

I can’t call a baby Navy can I??
Or Noa??
Speak some sense to a ravenous, over emotional 4th timer please

Navy is bad, but you know that. Noa is fine. Plenty around.

Tiana is a bit too Disney for me.

I like Edie and Fiona.

Keepmewarm · 10/12/2019 22:27

Tiana is beautiful. Noa is gorgeous too!

Navy is bonkers Grin

ParsleyPot · 10/12/2019 22:27

The song, ‘In the Navy’ should put you off.

luckygreeneyes · 10/12/2019 22:27

It’s the hormones!

Edie and tess are ok, the others not so much.

What about Nina, Lois, Flora?

Valentina is really nice. My other girls are short names but I really like that

How about Valentina? It could be shortened to Tina or Lennie

Tirana- first thing I thought was Tirana-saurus Grin
Coming from a woman who wanted to call a child Navy Pa! Ha!
Roaring at the “In the navy” song GrinGrin

I am open to more out there names as we are a mixed race family I have Native American/ black/ Mediterranean heritage and my partner is Irish so feel we could pull off a More exotic name hence the Tiana idea.

Also as there is a 5y gap I presume little Navy will want a playmate so two “made up” or “out there” names won’t be too bad.

Fiona is good.

If you like the v sound how about Mavis?

Thetimetravelerswife · 10/12/2019 22:03

You’ve gone a tad mad.

If you want, pick a nice normal name with a wild middle name like Navy.
She’ll be jealous of her siblings for having normal names otherwise.

sproutsandparsnips · 10/12/2019 22:03

What about Niamh?

Blutterflies · 10/12/2019 22:03

I think it’s because I do like the v sound Maeve and Niamh have the same sound and I like those but wouldn’t use.

Anything with Chris at the front is a no from me (twat family member)
Anita is same letters but sounds like a sensible adults name.
I don’t know who I am anymore Confused

Navy is awful. Tiana sounds like a alcoholic drink. I'm not keen on Noa. Others are nice.

What about Christine after your mum, but call her Chrissy?

winniesanderson · 10/12/2019 21:55

I have a distant relative called Nola which I've always thought is a fab name.

ilovetinsel · 10/12/2019 21:53

You know I kind of like Navy OP
And Indigo 🤷🏽‍♀️

percheron67 · 10/12/2019 21:52

Army and Royal Air Force a

Navy? I hope that was a typo or Army and Royal Air Force could be on the agenda. Poor child.

Queenoftheashes · 10/12/2019 21:51

I kind of like Noah for a girl

RaymondReddingtonMrs · 10/12/2019 21:51

What about Nola?

wowfudge · 10/12/2019 21:50

I've heard of a Navy. But I wouldn't do that to a child.

TildaTurnip · 10/12/2019 21:50

The song, ‘In the Navy’ should put you off.

I like Edie and Fiona

ilovetinsel · 10/12/2019 21:49

Tierney - Irish

Or

Tia - Spanish

Or

Tirana - muslim

All lovely!
