Baby girl suggestions

Hi
My DH and I have found out today that we're having a girl which will be due around Christmas. We were more set on boys names as we already have a girl and we can't think of names we love as much as her name. Have posted before but no longer very sure so would prefer a fresh list of names.
Names that we both like but can't use:
Elsie
Matilda
Rosie
Holly

Any suggestions of names?
Thanks

I'm potentially in the same boat as you already have a little girl and soon to find out if we are having another one but stuck on a girls name I love as much as my current DD (who's name is Aria just for recommendation). We do have a boys name all picked out though so no worries there.

I like them both ending in an a- esp Leila, Maia or Aila/ Aisla , also Cara, Clara. Your other faves are lovely too esp Erin. Only one not keen on is Rhiannon - just sounds too long and clumsy next to Freya. Agree re checking sooooooo carefully with your surname and initials - write them out in a variety of permutations ( initial first then surname , then reverse ) - many a gorgeous name been ruined by teasing over initials being embarrassing!

How about Noelle if she’s to be born around Christmas? 😊

I was going to make the exact same suggestion!

Other names:
Brooke
Coral/Coralie
Elisse
Caitlin

Oh, I LOVE your new list! A lot are a lot more unusual/quirky than Freya but I don't think sibling names have to 'go'.

If you do want matching vibes then I think Ayla, Olivia, Maia and Katie go best with Freya.

My personal favourites are Erin, Naomi and Rhiannon.

But they are all lovely and I don't think you can go wrong with any of them.

LucasBuck · 24/07/2025 00:36

Maia works brilliantly with Freya as a sibset as they are both Ancient Goddess names which are internationally popular but especially in Scandinavian countries (admittedly more often spelt Freja and Maja there).

Of your other choices I feel that Erin and Cara also sound good with Freya. Similar Lara would work really well too. Freya to me is an old name but which has a more modern vibe (possibly as it wasn’t popular until 20/30 years ago) - so to me those are the names which most have a similar style.

RogueFemale · 24/07/2025 00:25

I suggest Sibylla or Venetia. Calypso or Diana.

I love Seren, Erin, Laila, Cara, Maia and Katie from your list - all gorgeous.

I think Erin goes particularly well with Freya 😊 Heidi also goes brilliantly with Freya.
