Hi, I’m pregnant with our last baby, and she is our third girl.

We’re really struggling with names now, as we’ve used the two we both like on baby girl one and two! (If she were a boy it would have been a breeze! 😂)

Our girls are Gia and Iris.

Names we are considering are:

  • Arabella
  • Cassia
  • Ada
  • Sofia
However either we find them wayyy too popular, or aren’t 100% sold on it like we were with our first two.

Any help is appreciated.

Also love PP suggestion of Lyra with Gia & Iris!

I like Lyra with those two names.

Gia & Iris - what gorgeous names ❤️

I think Ada goes beautifully! Congratulations on your blessing of a third baby girl!

if you want a different ending rather than matching either the -a or -is how about:

  • Romy
  • Sylvie
  • Sadie
  • June/Juno
  • Esme
  • Cleo
  • Maeve
  • Eden

Tiredhotmess · 01/10/2025 16:10

How about Cassidy for a slight variation on Cassia?
Other names I like are:
Elodie
Seren
Xanthe

Italiangreyhound · 01/10/2025 01:10
  • Love, love, love Cassia

Also like Cadence, Cassidy, Lois, and Libby.

SkaneTos · 28/09/2025 23:34

Gia and Iris are great names!

I like all the names on your list.
Ada would be my favourite name from your list.

Gia, Iris and Ada.

Other ideas
Ida
Pia
Frida
Alva
Liv

Edited

You can’t have Pia and Gia

ErinBell01 · 01/10/2025 00:38

Freya
Cyrena

Peachpink · 30/09/2025 14:47

I think Sofia and Arabella have become incredibly popular and Ada is becoming more popular. Cassia is still quite unusual. All lovely names though.

I love the sound of Gia and Iris together - I get Audrey Hepburn era film star vibes.

Other suggestions that I think match nicely:

Cora
Alba
Clementine (Clemmie)
Esmae
Lydia
Clarabel

Jesslestrade · 30/09/2025 14:10

I have a nearly two year old Ada, we got it from the song Ada by the national as it was mine and my partners favourite band! Her twin brother on the other hand was a nightmare to name and it took
us so long haha.

Supermumtwo · 30/09/2025 13:32

Freya is a lovely name and very rarely used..

PloddingAlong21 · 30/09/2025 09:00

I had a boy but my girl names were Naomi (not met any kids with this name for yeaaaaars) and Aria

ACR7 · 30/09/2025 08:18

I like the names on your list. For what it’s worth my daughter is 16months and I haven’t seen a load of babies at the groups with those names so don’t think they are over popular. My daughters name is Eva and I was aware there’s an influx of takes on that name at the minute but she’s named after my nanna and we love the name so it doesn’t really matter to us. Don’t worry about popularity, just choose a name you really like.

CrazyCricketLady · 30/09/2025 07:25

As a nursery worker and have had over 500 children, I've had a lot of Sofia's. Not a single Arabella, 1 Ada. I'm not sold on Cassia but love Kezzia I have 3 girls and this is one of theirs. I couldn't go with a name of a child I had, had in work so ended up looking at ancient Roman names, ancient Greece names, biblical names and medieval and old English name to find mine. My forever favourite name that I didn't go with is Galatea. I didn't use it because I know it would have been shortened to Taya or Gal and I like neither.
At the moment I'm really in to
Adara
Avrin
Louelle
Maiden
And I've never had a single one of those. I stopped at 3 girls and a boy.

Cassia is lovely,

Not Ada, say it with a Brummie accent it will put you off forever.

Udder?🐮

Cassia is great!

BeTidyPlumPombear · 29/09/2025 23:05

I love Gia and Iris! I think Ada is a beautiful name❤️

Kittyninja267 · 29/09/2025 22:07

I think the 2 names you already have would go nicely with a one syllable name like
Bea,
Tess, or
May
Or a 2 syllable name avoiding another 'A' sound at the end like
Cassie rather than Cassia OR Connie.
Either way you will find a name and it only matters what you think.
Edit to add Beth and Libby just popped in to my mind as well.

Lovemyones · 29/09/2025 22:04

Since you already have an 'a' ending name and an 's' i'd go with a separate ending name
Something like Juniper or Joelle

AmberBeaker · 29/09/2025 21:47

Cool names. What about

Florence
Edie
Esme

Terfarina · 29/09/2025 21:41

A PP suggested Lara & Lyra - both beautiful names that go with your other daughters'.

Why don't you wait til she is born and see what name suits her. If you can't decide ask her sisters to help - we did this with our third and it was a great way of encouraging bonding, though the elder two were 6&8, it might not work with younger ones.
