We are due in October so I’ve still got a little bit of time to fully decide.

This is our short list (although it is not that short) some names have been inspired from threads I’ve seen on here, and some I’ve loved for years.

Our shortlist is:

  • Thea
  • Ivy
  • Nara
  • Cassia
  • Aliya / Alia
  • Eira
  • Mila
  • Gia

Thank you :)

I like them all apart from Gia which has strong civil service acronym vibes. Congrats on your imminent arrival!

Thea. Though my name of the moment is Sylvie.

Elephantangel1991 · 11/08/2025 16:42

Thea or Cassia

Cassia is lovely. Ivy (poison?) is bloody awful, a baby Ivy? Ooft, don’t do that to your child! The rest are somewhere in the middle.

I like Ivy best. Not too keen on many of the others. Cassia is quite nice

Echobelly · 11/08/2025 16:36

I like Mila most off that list.

Ivy

My favourite is Cassia.

Thea and Ivy are too 'of the moment' for me.

Nara - Haven't heard this before, but not keen on the sound of it.

Aliya / Alia, Mila and Gia are all nice, but not as classy as Cassia.

Eira - I haven't heard this before and not sure how to pronounce.

Thea
