hello I found out last week i'm expecting another baby girl, I already have 1 dd (2) called Ffion.
Looking for another pretty name, it doesn't have to be welsh

a few names on my list so far are Laila, Ava,Lexie and Naomi
What do you think of these names? any other suggestions welcome
thanks xx

I prefer Naomi out of those, but all lovely.

my favourite name is Anna though.
(couldn't use it with DD as our eldest niece is Anna, same surname.)

I also like Naomi best - classic and not very popular at moment. Ava is massively overdone and I know quite a few Lailas of varying spelling. Not keen on Lexie at all, it is nowhere near as nice as the others

I know you said does not have to be welsh but there aresome lovely welsh names I would use if I had any claim to welshness! I like

Nia, Anwen, Eira (means snow!)

Good luck choosing.

I like Ava and Laila .

Eva
Leah
Amelia
Mia
Maya
Seren
Bronwen
Lydia
Juliet
Cora

Naomi is my favourite out of them. Ffion is gorgeous!

grizzabellia · 06/12/2013 18:04

Also like Alys and Eirlys

Hi thanks everyone, I do like welsh names but I don't want them to have the exact names as other childen e.g ffion and carys ffion and seren, I do quite like Nia though.
Which middle names do you think go with Naomi ? can't begin with R.

I have a niece, Naomi Sara and she is lovely! Smile

I think Naomi Ava sounds good actually, that's two of your names then!

manicinsomniac · 06/12/2013 21:30

I love Naomi and Ava and like Laila and Lexie.
Second the suggestion of Naomi Ava - gorgeous.
I also really like Nia.

Other ideas on similar lines (imo)

Nadia, Niamh, Anya, Ayla, Arwen, Astrid, Amber, Amy, Ada, Lyla, Lyra, Luna, Lilia, Leilani, Lydia, Leah, Lacey, Libby, Lottie.

Naomi is a beautiful name, historical, biblical - can't go wrong really.

Lexi is already naff unfortunately.
Ava is extremely overused.
Laila I love too and again has a lot of history, Naomi just is even better!

honeybeeridiculous · 06/12/2013 21:35

I know a ffion (love the name) and her sister is eliza

DinkyMole · 06/12/2013 21:47

Nerys

invicta · 06/12/2013 21:55

Other names:
Carys
Evie
Cara
Alexa
Christina

Naomi is my favourite from your list

m90 · 07/12/2013 14:41

Hi thanks for all your suggestions Naomi Ava is lovely! what do you think of the name Chloe?, my husband mentioned it last night x

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 07/12/2013 16:20

Love Naomi. Don't like Laila or Lexie at all.

harryhausen · 07/12/2013 16:35

I know you say it doesn't have to be Welsh, but I've always loved Nia and Catrin.

I have a friend called Manon too and I've always liked that (I think it's French??)

BlackberryandNettle · 07/12/2013 22:32

How about Alexa with nickname Lexie? Like Lexie a lot as a nickname.

Mutteroo · 07/12/2013 22:59

Naomi is an adorable name. Absolutely my favourite out of your list, but I love Ava too.

WednesdayRebel · 08/12/2013 23:00

Chloe is gorgeous too. Chloe Ava?

m90 · 09/12/2013 08:13

Thanks Chloe Ava is nice too, I thought Chloe Olivia the other day until I thought of the surname Williams her initials would spell COW lol x

Chloe-what a fabulous name.

MummyBeerestCupOfCheerest · 09/12/2013 08:38

I LOVE the name Ffion and I LOVE the name Chloe! Dh vetoed both!

Envy

I like Chloe Ava a lot. Or Chloe Isabel.

MiracleOntheM4 · 09/12/2013 20:53

Lexie is lovely as a nickname biased.

I can sympathise with the initials thing. I was gushing about a name for DD2 the other day until DH pointed out her initials would be ARS...

m90 · 09/12/2013 20:58

Miracle that is sooo funny, just as well you noticed now lol

Think we have both agreed on Laila May (May second name not double barrelled after my nanas name) probably end up changing my mind before april! xx
