Jacob, Noah and......

Struggling to name a girl.
Jacob, Noah and......

  1. Delilah Rose (Really like but worry about biblical connotations?)
  2. Eve Rose (Too plain and simple?)
  3. Phoebe Rose (Would I be setting her up for a life of wrong spellings of her name?)
  4. Theodora Rose
Look forward to seeing your opinions. Thank you.

I'd forgotten Kezia(h). I'm also partial to Zilpha and Hepzibah

Delilah is nice and if it's your favourite
Naomi is lovely
Hannah?

Kezia?

I was going to suggest that! Very unusual. There was one at my children's primary school and she'd be about 30 now. Only one I can ever remember meeting.

If you would like another biblical name, you could have Lois, Ruth, Tabitha, Talitha, Dorcas, Deborah, Jemima, Susannah, Anna, Hannah, Tirzah, Elizabeth, Abigail, Leah, Naomi, Cherith, Judith, Zipporah ...

MerryChristmasToYou · 26/11/2023 14:25

Lydia is a great suggestion

Purplespothmm · 26/11/2023 14:24

I love Phoebe and Theodora!

BigBoysDontCry · 26/11/2023 14:21

Lydia?

BigBoysDontCry · 26/11/2023 14:21

Kezia?

Phoebe is lovely as a biblical name.

Jael is a great name but I struggle to get away from the fact she kills someone with a tent peg…

Sarai

@MerryChristmasToYou

Yes, its a beautiful strong name, also can be spelt Jael. Personally prefer Yael.

I also know one too, she is an amazing young women.

MerryChristmasToYou · 26/11/2023 13:27

@Frogsareflyinginfromthewest , I know a Yael, and people get her name wrong all the time. It's a lovely name.

Frogsareflyinginfromthewest · 26/11/2023 13:24

*Yael

Love Phoebe.
So many Evie’s
Delilah reminds me of the song
Theodora is a bit much for me, also hundreds of male Theo’s!
I would go for a different middle name, Rose is very over done as a middle.

Theoldwoman · 26/11/2023 13:19

Jacob, Noah and Bethany
Jacob, Noah and Lillian
Jacob, Noah and Miriam
Jacob, Noah and Eden
Jacob, Noah and Grace
Jacob, Noah and Ada
Jacob, Noah and Abigail

Theoldwoman · 26/11/2023 13:10

Jacob, Noah and Eve.

Some suggestions:

Jacob, Noah and Alice
Jacob, Noah and Isobel
Jacob, Noah and Ivy
Jacob, Noah and Ella

MerryChristmasToYou · 26/11/2023 12:09

Delilah - why why why? I don't like it
Eve Rose - doesn't flow. Eve nice but Evie overpopular, and lots of Ava, Eva, Ivy, Evelyns
Phoebe - best of the bunch.
Theodora - don't like it. Too many Theos
Look forward to seeing your opinions.
Thank you.

I only like Phoebe. Rose seems to be every other little girl's middle name.

Disregard the middle name for now and look at what goes with the surname

I know Sarah, Rebecca, Hannah, Ruth and Esther, not all good associations so they are out unfortunately.
Martha, is a bit dowdy and hate the pronunciation Marr-fa.

I really like Sarah but it's a bit close in sound to Noah.
Ruth, Rachel, Miriam, Sara,

Mary and Joan are a bit dated but might be due a comeback?

MissyB1 · 26/11/2023 10:50

Martha
Nina
Sarah

TheScientists · 26/11/2023 10:43

I met a 5yo Martha recently, it really suited her

Ruth would fulfil the criteria of not shortenable. Every Ruth I've ever met (not many!) has been a wonderful woman 😍
