Girls name that meets crazy criteria

108 replies

paganpath · 15/01/2023 16:30

TTC baby number 3, boys name is already picked but we really struggle with girls. We have a bit of a criteria for names, they have to be heard of but not overused, 5 letters and 2 syllables. Middle name will be Rebekah.
Some names that we like but don’t feel like the one are Carys, Cindy, Dinah, Heidi, Mavis and Moira.
Any ideas?

Sorry, just realised that Merris is six letters but you could spell it Merys.

I really like Dayna /Dana but you’ve mentioned it upthread already!

Yawn , choose a name without the ridiculous criteria ! Pretentious nonsense

If you don’t have any contributions then just don’t comment. If you’ve read my posts you’ll see that we don’t have a name that we love yet and wanted to see if there was a name that we loved that met the criteria. If there was a name that we really loved that was longer/shorter etc then we’d chose it, but there’s nothing wrong in looking for something first. As it turns out there’s a lot of names that have been suggested that we really like.
