Some ideas. Names are so personal, it's hard to suggest for people!

Indie is a super cool name though 😎

Orla is gorgeous and means golden princess its my daughters middle name ... congratulations x

Oh Orla definitely.

Ella is very common - which clearly you mind.
Tilly is a nickname and on its own is too cutesy.

I don’t understand the PP who says they don’t go with your other kids’ names. Orla fits in well. You clearly go for:


  1. short names. 1 or 2 syllables.

  2. easy to pronounce, no frills

  3. known names that won’t be misunderstood that are not too common

Jean is my granny’s name and her mums name was Jeanie so I’m super excited to use it for our baby girl, I think it’s so beautiful

The fact was conjecture about the meaning of the word Orla, that as far as I remember had nothing to do with the etymology of the Irish name.

sageandbasil · 08/05/2022 20:01

Orla is my fave and imo flows the nicest! Great names btw I love Rex and indie!

Actually, if you wanted a longer name then Orlanda is rather nice

Cindie943811A · 08/05/2022 15:39

Wretched tablet — I meant Orla, of course. Looks like my iPad has its own preference, lol

Cindie943811A · 08/05/2022 15:37

Orlando goes well with the other names.
Now you’ve agreed on Orla Daisy Jean don’t overthink it. Just stick with it. Time to readjust after your DD is born if she just doesn’t fit her names.
