My first baby (a girl) is due October 1st!
We are SO stuck on her name.
I’m originally Native American. I was adopted from a native children’s home in Northern New York and came to England when I was 5. Although I don’t know my family, I’d still love to honour my heritage in her name as a first or middle name. Husband also agrees!
However, many native names are very difficult to pronounce so at the moment, most of the names on our list aren’t native inspired.
we currently like:
Lilian (Lily for short)
Vivian
Etta
Ember
Elowen (a little more unusual but love the sound and meaning)
Drew
Charlotte
Hallie
Addison
for Native American inspired names, we like
Dakota (but sounds quite harsh so maybe a middle name?)
Also like Sequoia which means sparrow but I feel like most people will just associate it with the tree.
I like vintage and timeless names and also sometimes like slightly whimsical?
Another top contender for a middle name is Janis. I know it’s a very dated name and may not sound the best to people but it’s after someone so important to us so we would love to honour her.
Sorry for the lengthy post! Any suggestions I’d love to know
Our surname is a VERY common English surname
