Sibling for India and Rafferty

Looking for inspiration for a name which goes well with India and Rafferty? Don’t know what we are having. Quite like Bodhi for a boy but nothing really shouting out to us in the way of girls names. Georgia maybe possibly?!

And who are you to make that statement? You sound delightful and exactly as you describe.

Class angle is a red herring as it usually is on here.

OP’s names are not posh so much as hippy scruffy crusty middle class. Could be Totnes, Glastonbury, Hay on Wye, Brighton.

Beau?

Maybe Selecta as a middle name? Grin

Quinn. Works for boy or girl 😊

JedEye · 11/08/2021 21:43

Bodhi? Is that pronounced boddy or bow-dee or bod eye or something else?

YY to 'man bun' Bodhi.

Rafferty is actually a very English middle class name.

No traces of the name as a first name in Ireland.

Sapphire

Ruthietuthie · 11/08/2021 21:20

Or, last two, for a girl, Tabitha or Cressida?
For a boy, Ludo?

@Ruthietuthie

Bodhi is appalling. Absolute man-bun of a name. Please don't. Agree that India and Rafferty have a posh 1990s Primrose Hill Crowd feeling. What about Milo, Horatio, Orla or Evangeline?

William , John . Celia , Lydia ?

Personally ( & I know 2 ) Jasper is not a favourite name of mine but clearly is for some & suits them.

Good luck

Rafferty only acceptable imo if child has Irish origins or connections.

Neverrains · 11/08/2021 21:08

But if the OP had given a shit about your opinion on the name Rafferty, she’d no doubt have asked for opinions on the name Rafferty 🤷🏻‍♀️.
