Hi, I posted the other day about Alessia and got positive feedback but I’m still not sure. I’m 33 weeks with number 4, the sex of the baby is a surprise.
The name for a boy is set in stone, Ivo (eye-vo). I’ve loved it since watching Child of our Time growing up, does anyone else remember that longitudinal docuseries?
I prefer “real” names that are not as common. My thoughts are Elva (old name and rare), Iva (as it is similar to Ivo so may scratch that itch?), Alessia (but we have no Italian roots) or Anna (classic and less commonly used at the moment). Sadly I don’t feel as strongly about any of them as I do Ivo.
Must be out of the top 100 or at least out of the top 80, I was one of four children with my name in a primary school class of 24 and felt I had no identity.
Other ideas welcome. Baby is Chinese/ Irish heritage and being raised in England. Despite the appearance of my list, I would prefer something recognisable but not commonly occurring.
