Sorry for yet another baby name thread, dd2 will be arriving in 14 days and we are still unsure of a name or to be honest any major contenders.
We like Indie ( not many other people do though ) , and Heidi ( same as Indie really ).
Our dds name is not very popular and we want a name that goes iykwim dds name is Lyla.
Any great name ideas ?

Indigo?

Mrsindecision · 03/02/2014 21:52

Other full names for nn Indie:
Lucinda
Melinda
Belinda

BlueStarsAtNight · 03/02/2014 22:35

I love Heidi but think it's too similar sounding to Lyla.

How about:
Petra
Corrine
Emme
Paige
Marnie

BartBaby · 03/02/2014 22:52

I love Indie Smile

I like Naomi not very keen on any the others .

FarToGo Dh does'nt like India think he has to be as awkward as possible, not keen on Martha and have a neice named Yasmin. Great choice with Lyla ;)

Mrsindecision I love Indigo dh isn't convinced but I'm working on him. I like Lucinda but other two remind me of ex mil Linda.

BlueStarsAtNight That's our concern we vetoed loads of names for that reason love Emme , thats going on list. :)

If I had a girl I would call her Juno. It's cool. Not too girly.
But alas..2 1/2 boys later..

Indie is nice. I knew a girl once called Africa..

route666 · 03/02/2014 23:13

gualsa I love Juno its a brilliant name but sisters cats called Juno :( it would have been perfect as well .

Tea1Sugar · 04/02/2014 06:22

summerlovingliz · 04/02/2014 06:31

FlipFantasia · 04/02/2014 12:59

How about Indira with nn Indie? I love the name Indira and the nn is sweet.

DonkeysDontRideBicycles · 04/02/2014 20:10

I like Heidi, or what about

Fawn
Fearne
Romy
Skylar

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 04/02/2014 20:16

Esme?
Juliet?

bouquetofpencils · 04/02/2014 21:40

Ingrid?
Robyn?

LePetitPont · 04/02/2014 21:45

I know an (adult) Indi - sounds really cool. It's a nickname for Inderpal. Not sure that helps too much...

Juno is an awesome name, annoyed on your behalf that your sister got there first for the cat!

Hi there, well my dd2 is due in 14 days and coincidentally dd1's middle name is Lila with an i ;-) her first name is Eden which I think has same feeling as Indie but in my opinion a bit more feminine (though I know is also boys name). Not decided on my dd2 yet but (whispers) thinking of Saffron.

MyNameIsKenAdams · 05/02/2014 06:52

I like Indie. Whilst I also like Heidi, it feels difficult to say Lyla and Heidi together. My suggestions:
Phoebe
Flora
Willow
Molly
Nadine

scoobysu · 05/02/2014 11:26

I really like Indie. Here's a few others I like that are quite unusual..

Suki
Lexi
Ivy
Connie
Neve

FleecyFeet · 05/02/2014 14:24

Indie is lovely.

Baby 2 is due in 20 days time and if it's a girl, she will be Sadie Smile
