What are your thoughts on this girl's name?? We already have Aurelia Rose and Poppy Jessica, quite like 'unusual' names and also flower names? Baby due in just over a week and just can't decide! Btw, if it's a boy, we love Flynn.

Flynn is a boys name - so if you were also thinking of it for a girl (female TV character, sleb?) then you could have one choice for either/both.

Tealah is not good. It might not be made up, but it certainly looks it.

Thea is a good suggestion. How about Tamar?

Tamarisk and Zinna for more unusual flowers. Delphine, Sorrel, Amaryllis?

Awful - sounds like a mispronunciation of Taylor. How about
Laurel/Laural
Letticia
Peony
with perhaps Grace

I like it a lot.

If you like unusual maybe rethink Flynn there are lots of Flynn Finns round here

Don't like Tealah. How about Tansy? That's a flower name and unusual, as far as I know, but easy to spell and pronounce.

Perhaps you mean "Tehila" which in Hebrew means "glory"?

I don't like it at all but if you and your dh do then that's what matters imo.

Don't like Tealah. On top of the madey uppey look it is very wispy imo and sounds like tea leaves.

Would you consider Tallulah?

Or
Tamsin
Laurel (maybe too close to Aurelia)
Bellamy
Camille
Aven
Rosalie
Rue
India
Willow

I have a friend called Teala. Is it greek?

I know this is old. But goddamn there's some mean comments on here. My name is Tealah. My grandmother read the name in a book, Tealah was a greek goddess. It IS a made up name, but that's the REAL beauty of it I think. I'm inlove with my name & wouldn't have it different.

Tealah sounds lovely.

I do prefer He man spelling though of Teela

PixieRae - what was she the Greek goddess of - I can't find a reference to it. The nearest is Teela - Warrior goddess from a Masters of the Universe.

However I am with pixie on this. Just because a name is made up doesn't mean its yuk
