Some opinions on poss girls names please? worried some are "chavvy" (sorry for c word lol)

[SeeYouNT]

just found out we are having a girl

and bit of a shock as convinced was boy :o

so have been thinking of some names and just want some feedback. the baby will be a sibling to Caeden and Layla (please don't say anything about the name Caeden as i already know its considered common on here etc and tbh actually regret calling him it a bit )

anyway - here are the names

Harlow
Tia
Tianna
Talia
Jasmine
Cody
Kassidy
Alexa (Lexi for short)
Sienna
Everly
Halena
Coco
Honey
Ruby
Taylor

Sorry but I don't like any apart from Jamine and Ruby. And they are both a bit too popular now IMO.

But then I only really like traditional/biblical names - although funnily enough they are the only children in their whole school year(s) with their names, despite them being very, very well known ones. You would probably think I've given my DC really boring names actually

Willow would be nice. I much prefer that to most of the ones on your list.

I like Sienna and Talia but would be tempted to spell it Thalia.

Now Bryony is nice .

Oh, my cooking equipment is Tala, not Talia (agree Thalia is nicer but really like Thea).

I love Cassidy with a 'C' and think it goes well with your older children's names'. Also quite like Jasmine and Alexa.

My favorite from your list is Everly but I like Evelyn more, it sounds more finished and is one of my list names, as is Willow. I also love Marnie.

I like Cassidy (spelt like this), Talia and Everly.

Other than Ruby and Alexa I consider all those names to have chavvy overtones.

But I am old and I like traditional names

Jasmine and Ruby are ok - the rest are pretty awful.

I'm with jobwoes there are loads of really lovely classy names you could chose.

I like Alexa and Sienna best, agree with another poster that Alexis and Alexia are also great girl names (love Lexi as a nickname!). Coco is also quite cool Congratulations!

And also love Thalia like the classical Greek name, more than Talia - it has a lovely meaning too, as she was the muse of poetry

Have you ever been to Harlow?

Not keen on any, sorry. But congrats on your wonderful news! x

Harlow Scummy town, sounds like a boy's name
Tia Ok
Tianna Too pretty pretty
Talia Don't like
Jasmine Nice
Cody Boy
Kassidy Hate. Cassie is nice though.
Alexa (Lexi for short) Like Alexa, hate Lexi.
Sienna Nice
Everly Foreverly? No.
Halena Helena is nice
Coco I like actually!
Honey Like this too
Ruby Too popular
Taylor Surnamey, dislike

I really like Jasmine and Alexa from your list. Not really keen on the others though, sorry.

Ruby and Jasmine are lovely IMO.

What's with all the Harlow bashing? Some of us live there and actually quite like it- bunch of snobs ! But please don't name your child after it

I like Jasmine and Sienna from your list

Sometimes the type of surname really colours the first name. I know a Talia + JewishSurname and it doesn't sound chavvy at all.

AFAIK, Talia is of Aramaic/Hebrew/Arabic origin, whereas Thalia is Greek. I also know a Classics scholar with a Thalia, which I think fits better with Anglo surnames. Not sure it sits well with Layla and Caeden though.

Sorry, but I really dislike 'Honey' (Wilkes, Boo Boo) and 'Coco' (Pops, the Clown).

I think it's a fine line between choosing a creative, vivid name and choosing a name which seems incongruous with the cultural associations of your surname. I'm all for mixing it up, but some combinations do sound try-hard, mad, or, yes, chavvy.

How about:

Caeden, Layla and...

Sophie
Zoe
Naomi
Phoebe

phantomteaddrinker lol :o

i do really like sienna as well but will people think its because of sienna miller :/

i do like my dcs to have quite unique names, tbh am not keen on "classic" sort of names, they are lovely but not for me

put it this way if baby had been a boy he would have been called Hendrix. yes after Jimi

Well, Siena the city is spelt Siena, in Italian, to make the distinction. Though, people could just think you're an admirer of Ms Miller who can't spell... up to them.

Hendrix is quite interesting - too unusual to be 'chavvy'. He'd be called Rix (like Rick's) wouldn't he? Though, Hendricks is a brand of gin, so if you said, rather than spelt, Hendrix and Tia, I might think you'd named your children after the contents of your drinks cabinet (see also Remy, Sapphire, Chandon, Glayva, Chardonnay oh and Jim ).

How about Marguerite(a)?

LOL lottie re drinks cabinet

funny enough DD's middle name is Sapphire - i badly wanted it for her first name but dh wouldnt have it and she is NOT named after the gin honest
