Stuck on names. So far we have
Thisbe
Tabitha
Thea
Elowen
Xanthe
Callista

Suggestions welcome. We quite like Greek/mythology/mystic/romantic (I can’t think of the right term )

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I only like Thea the rest sound like your trying to name a Guinea pig sorry

This made me chuckle. I had lots of Guinea pigs as a child and they had names like Corn Flake and Poppadom!

OP, I like Thea - how about Theadora or Dorothea?

Thisbe sounds like you’ve got a lisp, terrible

Soubriquet · 24/07/2023 18:33

Not Thisbe. It does sound like frisbee with a lisp…

shams05 · 24/07/2023 18:32

Thisbe will definitely get messed around by not so nice kids into This be....

CurlewKate · 24/07/2023 18:32

I have a very slight remnants of a childhood lisp-and even now I have to pause and run up to Thisbe-sorry. For that reason I wouldn't go for it, sorry.

Thisbe I only know from Shakespeare. It’s ok. I much prefer Thea which is classic to my mind. But actually, the minute you know a child with a name then that’s what the name means so you’ll be fine!

Like Thisbe but would worry about people and comments about Frisbees.

Not keen on Callista.

Rest are lovely
I particularly like Thea
