Third daughter

Hi all,
Looking for some urgent help here, our third little lady is due at the end of next month and hubby and I are really struggling to agree on a name, we haven't been able to agree on any names at all and I'm starting to panic as we've always had a few options by this point in the pregnancy. Our two beautiful girlies are called Hallie Rea and Lillia Mea, yes very similar and I really would like their little sister's name to work just as well all together, our last name is Chamberlain!
Thanks in advance, Chloe Smile

For that pronunciation it should be Rae, Mae and Fae, surely?

HSX8 · 24/01/2021 01:24

Nea as a middle name 👍🏼

Well that was unexpected, little lady decided to make her entrance this morning, around 6 weeks early, weighing 5 pounds exactly and doing really well. As soon as we saw her face, hubby and I immediately knew her little name will be Lexie Myla Chamberlain after being suggested Lexie just last night 💖
Thank you all for the suggestions, it helped a lot Smile

Sorru OP I assumed it was
Ria, Mia and Thea

Not
ray, May & fay

Amelia / Olivia

SendHelp30 · 09/01/2021 15:23

Is “Mea” pronounced Mia or spelt wrong for May?

ChnandlerBong · 09/01/2021 15:21

that may be how we all perceive it but they are only middle names so pronunciation isn't really key.

Myla is quite pretty.

But yeah Fea is Spanish for ugly so wouldn't go for that? Kea?

Mybobowler · 09/01/2021 13:50

Sorry OP, but I think you've got the e and a mixed up in the spelling of all your middle names. "Ae" together can be pronounced "ay" (so, May/Mae or Ray/Rae) but "ea" is only ever "ee-ah" or "ee". Mea and Rea are Mia and Ria Confused

Hallie, Lillia &

Della/Zella
Molly
Nellie/Nella
Tallulah (Tully)

butterrcups · 09/01/2021 05:02

Myla is pretty

RavingAnnie · 09/01/2021 04:24

Did you not mean Mae and Fae and Rae?

They could be definitely pronounced May Fay and Ray and an alternative to the more traditional spelling.

Mea etc can only be pronounced Me-uh. At a push you could pronounce it Mee as in Meakin but that really is pushing it. Can't see how Mea can be pronounced May. The letters are all wrong.

Fea isnt pronounced 'Fay', it would be said like 'Fee-uh' so if your other middle names are pronounced like 'Ray' and 'May' then they wont rhyme, if thats what your after. But then Mea also isn't pronounced 'May', but like 'Mia', and Rea is said like 'Ria', so this is all a bit confusing!

Fea is really not very nice - like a PP said, it means ugly in Spanish, is very close to 'fear', and sounds like someone who can't pronounce Thea properly. I really think you'd struggle to get people to pronounce it like Fay, too.

Myla is not very nice, it is really common and overused, and also a bit 'downmarket' whereas Hallie and Lillia are classier. I agree with PPs that Willow is the best first name as it will keep with a theme - the double l, but with a different ending sound. Or Juno would also sound lovely with the sibling names but I don't know if it is matchy enough for you - although it goes much better than Myla in my opinion.

Eleri
Elodie

Fei / Fay

Jessbow · 08/01/2021 23:19

Fea...like Thea? or like 'scared'

Enidblyton1 · 08/01/2021 22:48

Cassia or Talia?

I really wouldn’t chose Fea for the middle name.

lalalalands · 08/01/2021 22:41

Fea means ugly in Spanish 😬 Just so you're aware!

Tweetypietwo · 08/01/2021 22:41

Talitha or Thaila ?

EdgeOfACoin · 08/01/2021 21:39

Myla is very pretty, but it is also the name of a posh lingerie shop. It depends on whether that connection bothers you (it may not be an issue.)

@PolarnOPirate

Oh is it pronounced like Rae/May/Fay?

Yes! I've never loved those spellings tho (that's why we chose the spellings Rea and Mea for our older girls)
