Help - baby girls name!

Our beautiful baby girl is 3 weeks old today and she’s booked in to be registered tomorrow afternoon however we have no set name! Throughout pregnancy my OH and I haven’t agreed on any names and he got fed up of talking about it. The shortlist seems to be Ava, Olivia or Charlotte. I’m just not hugely sold on any of them haha! At one point we thought we’d decided on Ava, kids told everyone at school that was her name and then I got cold feet. She has an older sister and brother named Ella and Logan. Any name suggestions would be greatly appreciated! My OH is adamant that it cannot be a flower name but he was willing to consider Rose as a potential middle name. Sorry for rambling!

We can see this thread is quite old now but if you’ve landed here looking for baby naming inspo, our recently updated 1000 top girl names article may offer some ideas. Flowers

Ava has been in the top 10 most popular names for over 10 years, @YukoandHiro

YukoandHiro · 24/07/2023 16:17

Ava is the best of those as Olivia and Charlotte are extremely common now.

What about Aria or Alicia?

Lisbeth50 · 24/07/2023 16:15

Ava and Olivia both end in-a like Ella so I'd avoid that and go for Charlotte. Charlotte Rose is lovely as is Charlotte Ava, Charlotte Olivia or Charlotte Ava Rose.

My little girl is Hazel if that helps. I didn’t want a top 100 name 🤷‍♀️ I know of the odd other one but none in her year.

JLM1981 · 23/07/2023 21:56

Charlotte 😁 sounds nice with the others.

Ameteurmum · 23/07/2023 20:48

My daughter is an Olivia. My eldest son is 8 and was at nursery with about 7 Olivia’s but mine is the only one at hers at the moment. All names go through phases of being popular unless you go down the Elon Musk route

PurpleHippo83 · 23/07/2023 20:47

My daughters are Beatrix and Kiera - both could go with Rose as a middle name

I have a Lacey, middle name Olivia and also have a 3 week old (tomorrow) baby girl that we called Emmie. Her middle name is Stephanie, not crazy about the middle name but I wanted her named after my dad (Stephen) who passed away

My above comment was meant to be in reply to your comment but I forgot to quote it 🙈

MrsMay19 · 23/07/2023 15:07

My little girl is also named after my dad (Steve) but we were not fussed on Stephanie so went for Eve as he middle name

My little girl is Harriet. I love the name and I love the nickname Hattie which I don’t expect she will use as an adult but is cute for a littley. She also gets lengthened to Harrietta (but only by me in a sing songy way!) It’s difficult to give suggestions that might work for you as we don’t know how it will flow with your surname E.g my surname ends in “ben” so when I was considering boys names anything with an “en” sound at the end was out as I did not like the nasal sounds together. I didn’t worry about sibset naming as they’ll only be a sibset for a finite period and to a finite group of people.

I dont like popular names. I have a popular name and i was never the only * in the room. Even now as an adult i get slightly jealous of people with a unique name. I didnt pick anything too unique for my boy but i made sure it wasnt in the top 50! My girl name list is
Orlaith/Orla not decided on the spelling!
Evermore
Eleanor
Elodie
Ember

My daughter is Theia Elizabeth

MrsZargon · 21/07/2023 20:37

I have an Elizabeth Rose and a Rachel Mia. I also loved the name Penelope (would have been Penny for short).

my Mother in Law once said to me that it doesn’t matter what name you pick for your child because a few weeks later you won’t be able to imagine them as anything else. Good luck choosing!

bagforlifeamnesty · 20/07/2023 21:25

I would avoid a name ending in the -ah sound as you already have a girl with that sound as the last syllable. So Ella and Ava are too similar IMO. Less so but same applies for Olivia. I’d go for Charlotte with Ava as a middle name.

Leaningtowerofpisa · 20/07/2023 21:22

I have a Charlotte and have never regretted it as it’s a classic name. We thought about it for a long time. I didn’t want a name that would have a silly short name. However my grandparents called her Lottie ( which I didn’t mind too much), then ended up with us calling her Charlottie as an affectionate nickname. Again - not so bad.

She is now a teenager and from around year 6 onwards told everyone ( except me) to call her Charlie. They all do - teachers coaches friends but not me. I have to call her Charlotte.

Some friends / teachers call her Charles as a bit of fun/ play on her nickname. She loves it.

I imagine she will return to her full version as she gets older but for now it’s been a beautiful name that everyone has enjoyed!

I did add Rose as the middle name as it was the name of 2 of my best friends. However I think Ruby might have been a nice alternative and is my grandmothers name.

Ella, Logan and Olivia although their initials would be ELO!
