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?!

@Puffalicious

Lord, most of the names suggested on here are so up their own arse and only for upper middle class, London-dwellers. Bohdi is ridiculous. Where has this one upmanship in naming one's child come from?

Rafferty is lovely. India is very of its time, but nice. Please think carefully before choosing an out there, pretentious name you'll regret.

Sage? Why not use Basil? Just as ridiculous.

This is funny because I know 2 very working class families in my area of the Midlands (the sticks) with babies called Bodhi. Bizarrely one male and one female!

Oi! I'm upper middle class and would never dream of calling my kids such utterly pretentious names.

My first thought was Freya

Great names OP!
A few suggestions:

Boys: Otto, Hugo, Arlo, Wilfred, Milo, Xavier, Arthur.

Girls: Amelia, Skye, Sienna, Mila/Myla, Orla, Juliette, Sophia.

TatianaBis · 11/08/2021 19:13

I don't think Georgia is hippy enough for India and Rafferty - Bodhi fits well - what about Lyra, Iris, Phoebe, Callisto, Astraea

Always with the bloody Balonz. It was never, ever funny. I think Iris is a good suggestion (up thread). Or Doris.
