I've posted before, but we've just found out that we're having a little girl. We already have one daughter, called Nia. I'd love some opinions on our list, and maybe some other suggestions. In order, we like:

Sabrina
Erin
Fern
Serena
Iona
Hazel
Faye

Looking for something not massively popular, not too frilly or cutesy. I like names with an interesting meaning or historical link, or ones which are associated with nature. Thanks.

Nia and Farrah

Love the name Nia! I think Faye goes beautifully with it - the others on your list not so much

ParisJeTAime · 03/03/2021 20:54

Fern, Faye or Hazel from your list! Love all three.

I also love Nia.

Gorgeous list, love them all! Erin is quite popular here which would put me off but I think you can't go wrong with the rest 🙂

MuddleMoo · 03/03/2021 20:06

Nia & Simone?
Fern works well if it's Nia & Fern but Fern & Nia is a bit hard for me to say outloud.

I love Erin and Faye from your list. I prefer shorter names.

I'm not a fan of Hazel but that's just personal preference

RickOShay · 03/03/2021 20:03

Love Iona. Beautiful name.

giantbottom · 03/03/2021 20:00

Maybe not Eliana actually. I think a name with no N may suit Nia best.

giantbottom · 03/03/2021 19:59

Sabrina/Serena and Nia don't sound right together.

Eliana
Felicity
Lucy
Lara
Saskia
Naomi
Suzette
Jasmine

I prefer Fern from your list.

Other suggestions:
Savannah (Similar to Sabrina but sounds less like Nia)
Celeste

I love Serena from your list! My suggestion is Celeste. Also, Erin is really popular where I live (SW England) - may be a regional thing but DH and I were just saying earlier how so many kids we know are called Erin and Reuben! They seem to be the two we come across most. Just a heads up if you don't want popular.
