Name for our third daughter - help 🥲

I need help.
Our third daughter is due in September and we have absolutely no idea what to call her.

Any ideas please?
We like girly names, we don’t mind longer names that have a nice shortened version.
Sidney, Edie, Robin, Susie, kind of like these but none of them feel right.

Heidi is a lot better than Olive

Love Olive! No it wouldn't matter about there being another 'oh' starting name

I like Eden ( Edi )
Savannah ) Saffie )

There’s so many lovely suggestions on here, thank you 🥰 I’ll go through them with my partner this evening (he’s away with work at the moment).

There’s a few I absolutely love but can’t choose as a friend (or a friend of a friend) has the name already.

So far, my partner’s top picks are Olive, Ottillie and Heidi.
We already have a little girl with an Oh-sounding name, would that matter?

I really like Emmeline and Rosalie, we took Rosalie off our list as one of the girls has Rose as a middle name 🥲

Show quote history

That won't matter. Call her Rosalie if you like.
Or Rosalind
Rosamund?

Eleanor- my son's gf's name & she's utterly fabulous.

I only have boys, but always loved Maisie, Mirren & Rowan.

I second Mirren or even Marian must be due it's revival by now.

Zoe. I have 2 daughters, not going to name them but they have classic names that everyone knows but which aren't super common these days. My third (which will probably be a cat!) will be Zoe.

Whatisfrenchtoast · 23/03/2026 22:30

Elsbeth? I think that's how it's spelt, someone mentioned it on the thread the other day.
I have always loved Evangeline as such a feminine pretty name.
Bethan suggested up thread is lovely given Beth/Bethany etc. is completely off trend at the moment but nice traditional names.

Welshpoppyyellow · 23/03/2026 22:17

I love a lot of the names on your list. My current favourite name is Erin so I thought I'd throw that in the pot!

Giraffehaver · 23/03/2026 22:16

I've got a baby Jemima so obviously love that. Her dad's started calling her Jammy 🙄

cerisepink889 · 23/03/2026 22:14

Mabel, India, Rosanna these are my top 3 but DH didnt like any of them so we didnt use.
