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.

Annabel? Similar to Arabella but softer sounding.

Ava
Eva

I actually quite like the slightly more severe "r" sound in Arabella as I think it balances out the frilliness of the Annabel/ Annabella/ Arabella type endings.

But I do agree with your suggestions, as I think they are more in keeping with your other dd's names op. I love both Sofia and Arabella but just think they are a different "feel" from names like Iris and Gia.

Another name a bit like Eva or Ada is Edie which I think fits that vibe too, and it is a bit more unusual than Eve/Evie.

From your list I think Cassia is perfect! It’s the same vibe as the others but has its own unique sound. Ada kind of blends into the rest, I would get confused between the sibling names if I was an acquaintance. And Sofia and Arabella don’t quite fit the “strong & unique but feminine” vibe of Gia and Iris because they are a bit frillier (arabella) or not unique (Sofia) - whereas I feel like Cassia fits the bill, it’s unique enough but also feels classic. You have great taste in names btw, I like them all! Cassia just feels more right.

Alexandra? It’s not as popular as it was, so there won’t be tons of them around.

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.

Congratulations!
love Gia & Iris - I really like Ada but also noticed the names you suggested all end in an ‘a’ how about a different sound for your last girl.
