We're really struggling to name DD3. She's 15 days old today and still has no name as nothing really fits the bill. Sisters' names are Leah and Orla. Any suggestions?

Leah and orla are not unusual names. I like hebe although I don't think it goes with the other two at all.

There is no such thing as a name that can't be shortened.

The closest names I can think of are;

Eve
Kay/Fay/May
Jane/Jade
Amy
Lucy

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 03/04/2014 18:13

Or Beth. Leah, Orla & Beth sounds quite nice.
