Help - baby girl still nameless at 5 days old

We just can’t find a name we agree on 🤦‍♀️
our original name list:
Cass/Cassie
Juno
Nova
Maya
Remi
Kaia
Kali/Callie
Tess
Wren (ruled out as too popular)

We struggled with the name game while I was pregnant but were sort of half decided on thinking she’d be a Cass or a Kali but neither of them are settling well on her. OH LOVES Shea but only wants to spell it Che which is a hard no from me so back to the drawing board. I love Juno but he’s vetoing. We’ve been round and round in circles for what feels like forever. Please help, mumsnet hive mind! Open to any and all suggestions 🙏

So having gone round the houses we eventually settled on Kali Anna. Kali is the name of a Hindu goddess of time, change, death and creation and Anna has family links on both sides and I also LOVE the name as I said before, OH has always resisted it so I’m stoked he’s conceded 😁 meanwhile, baby girl is apparently bored of the whole debate but will presumably appreciate having a name at some future stage!

How lovely! Enjoy beautiful Kali 🥰

Beautiful name, congratulations on naming her (eventually ) 😀

ScruffMuffin · 27/11/2025 19:35

Her name is beautiful, just like she is. I'm so pleased to read your update. Congratulations!

Adele, Margot, Davina

Not Winnie - Winnie the witch or Winnie the Pooh will be their new name.

cordelia16 · 27/11/2025 13:43

I really like Nova. What about Noa or Nora? And Eden from OH list is sweet.

If OH likes Nessa, what about Tessa (given that Tess is on your list)?

Other suggestions: Rumi, Luna, Ivy, Opal, Ruby, Lumi

I do like Tess. She does look a little like one I knew, who looked very French and was smart and chic, very clever and utterly a wizz at languages.

Shea is the fat from an African tree. Che is used in South America and means something like 'mate' or 'friend'.

What about Shia?

One of my friends has a daughter called Novi; would you consider that?

Nika is a good name too.

Pranksters · 26/11/2025 01:58

Definitely don’t choose Maya, Ava or Ivy if you don’t want popular. There are bloody loads of them! I thought every girl I knew was called Ava at one point…

Chichichochi · 26/11/2025 00:34

Have you tried ChatGBT? Not joking!

Asha?
