Can't decide on names

We have 3 girls age 2, 3 and 5. Expecting baby 4 (girl) in January. All my girls have nature names. We are torn between Kaia and Summer for this baba. Thoughts? Which do you like better? I love them both equally!

I don't think it matters what season she is born in.

I love Winter but I don't like Winnie for a nn which she would probably end up being. Winnie is a close family's dog name which has really put me off using it unfortunately.

Ahh names are so hard!! Maybe I'll just know when I see her. Kaia is not a popular name on mumsnet by the looks of it either. Lol

Summer of the two. It wouldn’t suit a child of mine though 🙈

Of the two, I prefer Summer but not for a January baby. I know a child named Winter and have always thought it a rather cool name.

Laurel, Sorrel and Olive are other nature names I like.

Daphne? Laurel?

I do really like Summer.

Hazel is my mums name. Bestie is Heather. Lol. We are very limited on names with baby 4 but thank you! I do like Iris but I can't help but see 'Irish' when I read it.

There's something about Gaia that I don't like. Although I do like the meaning behind it. All my girls are flower/tree/water names. Summer somehow got stuck in my head but I'm not 100% sure on it.

How about Gaia instead of Kaia.
I'd use a nature name not a season name
There are some flowers that are around in January.

Kaia for me.

Not keen on fern/skye. Holly is a friends name and ivy is my friends kids name. Seren isn't very us. Thank you though

Not Summer. Kaia is better.

wellingtonsandwaffles · 24/11/2023 22:40

Summer is a better name.

how about Fern / Skye / Seren / Holly / Ivy

Oh it doesn't bother me whatsoever if she's a winter baby and her name is Summer. Lol. What's does 'twee' mean?

Not a fan of Kaia, I adore Summer but think it’s a bit odd for a winter baby if I’m honest. It’s lovely on a little girl but when she’s older it could come across quite twee

theduchessofspork · 24/11/2023 21:03

I’m not mad keen on either but Kaia of the two.
