Name suggestions for baby girl please!

We found out a few weeks ago that baby is a girl. We already have a little boy named Sullivan, but we're really struggling for girl names that we both love and agree on.

We have 3 so far:
Nia
Imogen
Lyla

But none of them feel like THE name. I really love Noa, but my partner isn't too sure on it.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, the middle name will be Alice!

Nola instead of Nia or Noa?

Or Nova

Blendandmix · 12/01/2023 11:09

I know 2 people who were going to have Imogen and didn't. Both regret it! Their names instead are Alice and Etta

DramaAlpaca · 12/01/2023 01:35

Of your three, I think Lyla goes best with Sullivan if you want the names to 'go'.

Noa doesn't quite fit, even though it's much nicer than Noah.

Sullivan is an Irish surname - have you looked at other surname names that are used for girls' first names?

Suggestions: Cassidy, Regan, Taylor, Harper... there are lots in that style.

I like Imogen best but it doesn't go terribly well with Sullivan. I don't think a name ending in 'a' works with Alice as a middle name.

Vivienne
Violet
Charlotte nn Charlie
Francis nn Frankie
