Our daughter is nameless - should we just go for Noah?

[ScarletMoonlight]

We didn't know her sex, but if she had been a boy, she would have been Noah.

We like Madeleine/Maddie, but disagree on pronunciation. We had almost decided on Ivy, but we don't like the way it looks

Any ideas? She's really cute

Noa looks more feminine than Noah. A popular girls' name in Israel, I believe.

Noa is pretty - plus it means 'movement' or 'motion' in Hebrew, and 'my love' in Japanese. Both nice meanings.

Also like Naomi!

How about Nova?

Lois
Noelle
Noella

Came on to say Nova too. Nova is fab.

Helen. Known as Nell.

Nova?

Olivia? Nn Livvie / Ollie / Liv?

Leonie or Aphra?

I also like Vita as mentioned by a pp.

Moa - lovely scandi girls' name!

(pronounced more like Maw-a than mower!)

When I think of Madeleine. I think of it as a very pretty and girly name. I don't feel Ivy and Noa are in the same league. They are a bit more simple and plain. I suggest you make an A-Z list of all the girl names you can think of and then narrow it down to the ones that are really pretty and feminine.
Or post a thread asking for names people think are the most beautiful and girly.

Leah is very pretty.
Also Ida.
