I like Thea and Reya best 😊

VenusClapTrap · 14/11/2022 17:35

I love Ingrid and Sigrid! In fact ds was going to be an Ingrid.

I also love Freya and Thea but they’ve become a bit too popular for me.

Really dislike Cayla, Tora and Maeva.

The others are ok.

Please let us know if you’ve narrowed the list down and what has made it to the shortlist! I love updates!

Have you though about picking a name out of a hat.

AliBaliBears · 12/11/2022 18:08

Love Frieda! My aunt was a very lovely Freda (her

KirstenBlest · 12/11/2022 09:16

@user1492757084 , I've not heard of a film called Amalie. Did you mean Amélie?

user1492757084 · 12/11/2022 08:47

Amalie (spelt like the film), Cassia and Sigrid are my favourites.
You will know the best name when you meet her.

Luredbyapomegranate · 11/11/2022 16:38

I’d go for Thora - you clearly like the Scandi vibe and it’s fabulous and underused

Cassia is also lovely and Cassie a nice nn

Frieda is alright

Frieda - fine
Thea - fine but so many of them
Freya / Freja - lovely but done to death a few years ago. Freja spelling would be a PITA in the UK

Maeva - meh. And so many Maeves

Amelie - nice enough but Emily/Amelie/Emilia/Amelia are all v overused

Reya nothing-y

Cassia - lovely

Cayla / Kyla - low rent

Tora - Thora is much nicer
Juni - June or Juno is much nicer
Runa - this makes you sound like a Goth with a role play hobby (sorry)
Inga / Inge - doesn’t work well in English. Ida instead?
Thora - No. 1
Sigrid - Too much like Hagrid.

Ingrid - Slightly better. Astrid

determinedtomakethiswork · 10/11/2022 09:03

Cassia is a lovely name and I love Maeve too. I don't like Maeva though.

sopeas · 10/11/2022 09:01

My favourites of your list to help you narrow down maybe?

Freya
Maeva
Sigrid
Ingrid

Good luck & congratulations @Itsme85 hope you’re not waiting too much longer now to meet your darling daughter! I am sure you’ll know just what to call her when the time comes 💐

Thanks everyone! This is so helpful 😀

Frieda - will be misspelt as Frida or Freda, and possibly Freeda or Freida
Thea - meh
Freya / Freja - meh. Freja is pronounced differently, more like Fry-a
Maeva - not keen
Amelie - not keen, too many Emily and Amelia type names
Reya - not keen
Cassia - ok
Cayla / Kyla - no
Tora - no
Juni - no
Runa - no
Inga / Inge - yes, Inga is probably easier.
Thora - yes
Sigrid - yes
Ingrid - yes

yikesanotherbooboo · 10/11/2022 08:32

We didn't give names to any of our DC until they were with us.
I like Frieda, Thora and Ingrid.
I don't mind Thea ,Sigrid and Inga.
I would go for Maeve rather than Maeva and on the fence re Cassia.
Not keen on the others.

Mumofgirls2017 · 10/11/2022 08:25

Frieda- ok but probably a bit marmite for most
Thea- like
Freya / Freja- lots around

Maeva- ok prefer maeve

Amelie- ok but blends in with lots of Emily/ Emilia/ Amelia

Reya- ok but pronounciation issues

Cassia- love

Cayla / Kyla- not keen for me but like Kaia

Tora- ok
Juni- like as short for juniper
Runa- quite like
Inga / Inge- not for me
Thora- love this one
Sigrid- prefer Ingrid
Ingrid- ok

WildCherryBlossom · 10/11/2022 07:35

I love Thea and Cassia from your list. Good luck!

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 10/11/2022 07:31

Ingrid or Freya

MassiveSalad22 · 10/11/2022 07:30

What about Ebba?? Love it 😍😍 for all I know it’s the Swedish version of Beryl at the mo, but I know a v cool and young Ebba. Also know very young Vilma and Lo?

From your list I’d choose Maeva (prefer Maeve) or Ingrid. But at this point just wait at see! You’ve got at least 6 weeks (we couldn’t register DD for 8 weeks due to lack of appointments!)

GlassDeli · 10/11/2022 07:27

Cassia, Inge, Freya and Juni are my favourites.

dream28 · 10/11/2022 07:20

I love Runa, Thea, Freya and Sigrid.

halfsiesonapotnoodle · 10/11/2022 02:22

Cassia is far and away the nicest name on the list in my opinion.

Melaniais · 10/11/2022 01:55

Tora / Thora - would rule out, as said before RE/Jewish connotations

Ingrid is lovely

Maybe Juno instead of Juni. I know two Junos and both lovely girls

PinkPupZ · 10/11/2022 01:37

Thea lovely
Freya / Freja not keen, overused
Maeva lovely
Amelie overused
