I'm really struggling with names

[TurtlesAreAwesome]

Hi, I'm pregnant with a little girl and I would like a name for her, before she's born. I've thought of a few, but nothing seems quite right.

Can anyone offer some name advice?

Phoebe Athena
Phoebe Rose
Freesia Elouise
Freesia Elizabeth
Atheni freesia
Atheni Rose
Athena Lily
Athena Rosalie
Helena Lily
Helena Ruth
Louisa Jayne
Louisa Marie
Eleni Claire
Eleni Willow

There's a fab MNer called Althea which is lovely.

If you like Freesia what about Briar?

Had the same problem a few weeks ago had our list down to
Isabelle
Maddison
Olivia
Grace
Willow ( didn't choose as shortened to will) and
Phoebe
I like unusual names as my other daughter is Tillie-Mae

Thea
Nancy
Mia
Eadie
Imogen
Adeline

Althea is very nice, classy and unusual.

@tmi did you find a solution in the end? Tillie-Mae is really cute.

@choco Althea is nice. I wonder if it would be shortened to Alth though.

@user thank you for your suggestions. I actually like the way Athena Lily looks and sounds together. Do you think it sounds boring though? Phoebe Athena sounds nice, but would be a mouthful with Lily on the end.

I don't think Athena Lily sounds boring at all, it sounds lovely, I don't know of anymore little girls, with
this name either. It may grow on you.

More likely to be shortened to Thea if anything but why would you shorten it? Its beautiful

Felicity
Jemima
Matilda

Mum of two boys here living vicariously through you!

Atheni should be Athene no?

Yes our 2 favourites Isabelle grace

@user I don't know of any little Athenas, but you never know. But it does sound really lovely to me, I actually really like it. But nobody else I've mentioned it to seems like it. I never liked the name at all until I was pregnant, so totally weird as it just grew on me.

@chocolit I wouldn't plan to shorten it, but I could understand if other people did. Thea is a cute nn too.

@ jellycat (cool username by the way) I like Felicity, but it's a little bit of a mouthful, but it does have a nice meaning too.

You know, until I found out I was having a little girl, I always thought boys were easier to name!

I don't like the look of Athene, because I can just imagine her having to correct everyone with the pronunciation. There's also Port Atheni in Greece, so it's not a made up spelling.

@coconutty (also a fab username) thank you for your suggestions. I think Amara is nice, but not sure whether I'd use it.

What about Eliana? Eliana Lily is pretty.

What about Cecilia? Or if you like phoebe, how about daphne?

If you like Anna what about Emma?

Soft sounding but serious id think
Alice
Abigail
Charlotte
Fiona
Amelia
Harriet
Claire
Tabitha
Lucy
Amy
Megan
Sophie

I like Athena, and also was thinking about the Port Atheni reference 😄

Hmmm sorry but id much rather be be named Athene after a Greek goddess than Atheni after a Greek port, even if it meant having to spell it occasionally!!

How about Alethea? Also love Cecilia as pp said.
