Name for our third daughter - help 🥲

96 replies

xOlive · 23/03/2026 09:17

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.

Well I’m not keen on a lot of the modern names that are about now. That they moan nobody knows how to pronounce or spell. I met a girl called Brayleah the other day not sure if that’s the correct spelling. Halifax has to be the worst I’ve come across.

For personal reasons, I couldn’t think of two worse names 😂 I also strongly dislike the whole Belle/Bella/Beau thing.

What are your two other daughters named?

I couldn’t say without completely outing myself 😂 they’re not commonly used names where I live, especially not as part of the same family if that makes sense?

Betty.

Love this, partner said no to Betsy but I could try him with Betty 👀 I also really liked Beatrix/Bea, that was also a no.
