Sisters Baby Girl - urgent name help*

110 replies

Roseg990 · 02/11/2020 09:12

Hello all ! My sister who is 20 is having a baby girl in December and can’t find the perfect name.
Ideas:
Ophelia - getting very common so won’t be using
Ocean -
Bluebell -
Tamsin - would get nn tam which isn’t nice (too old fashioned)
Estella - seems too old fashioned
Alaska - probably a bit out there
Aurora - also getting quite common but we love it

Please give name suggestions and what you think of these names
Thanks x

The only one I like on that list is Tamsin. All the others sound like stripper names imo

Tamsin or Estelle

Alaska and Aurora are gorgeous. Other names she might like.
India. Egypt. Tallulah. Delilah. Coral. Meadow. Eden. Saffron.

How is this urgent? Confused

None of those names are good.

I know a Tamsin and she’s never been called Tam 🤷‍♀️

The only other one that’s ok is Ophelia.

Urgent help? Really?

I don't like any of them.

movingonup20 · 02/11/2020 09:47

I likeTamsin too

Disfordarkchocolate · 02/11/2020 09:35

I love Bluebell.

missmouse101 · 02/11/2020 09:34

I love Tamsin, so pretty. (She wouldn't necessarily be Tam.) Aurora sounds like roar roar roar, so not nice. Bluebell is nice too but slightly odd for a woman as opposed to a little girl. Not too keen on the others.

From your list I'd choose Tamsin.
Estella is ok.
Not keen on the others.

It looks like she likes nature-themed names.
How about looking at plant names - Fern, Willow, Hazel, Heather...
