No, I don’t mean Lydia 🤣 it’s a family name on my husband’s side, his Albanian grandmother was Ledia.

I really like Ledia, I haven’t heard it before!

Is there Irish on your side? If going for an English vibe I'd agree with Harriet, Sophie, Laura, Emma. For Irish, Tara. I do also like Cora, Elva, Emma also seems popular in Ireland these days.

@HarLace1 , it's Eirinn not Erinn

HarLace1 · 21/10/2023 09:22

Erin is lovely but please get rid of the extra n

Rachel

Cora or Erin are lovely

I don't understand the comments that the names need to 'go' - a name is for life and I'm sure no one cares what my brother is called!

I like Flora and Tabitha

mathanxiety · 20/10/2023 17:02

I like Harriet too.
You could use Ledia as a middle name.

mathanxiety · 20/10/2023 16:59

Eirinn is the dative case, not the nominative case. The nominative case is Eire. I wouldn't bother using an Irish language version of the popular name Erin, especially if you get it wrong, but in any event, I don't think Erin goes with James.

I like Flora best from your list.

Twazique · 20/10/2023 16:14

Came on thinking of Helena and Harriet and I have been beaten to it!

Ledia would make a great middle name.

Persiana · 20/10/2023 16:11

I like Cora, not keen on the others for pp reasons.
What about-
Ada
Rosa
Anna
Alice
Juliet

I love Venetia. I don’t understand posters saying it not traditional like James as it been around for several hundred years.
Harriet is nice but a bit too popular.
I haven’t heard of Ledia before. I think people would confuse it with Lydia. And Leda is distasteful because of the swan rape scenario liked Renaissance artists.

MollsDolls · 20/10/2023 15:45

LOVE Cora. If I had gone on to have another girl Cora was my top name. I have a James and his sister is Ella

MissHoollie · 20/10/2023 15:38

Eleanor
Helena
Ellen
Maeva
Maudie
Muriel
