Can people please suggest some girls names. OH and I just can't find one!
I prefer names that are two syllables and I like it to end in 'ah' sound (think Ava, Leila, Isla etc). We also don't want it to be very popular - which is why we aren't using any of the above! Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Two syllables ending in 'ah' that are nice but not over-used:

Cora
Tessa
Clara

Sorry, having a mind blank and they're the only ones I can think of other than Lara or Laura which I don't really like.

MissBax · 20/05/2017 09:04

Crispy - Cora is my current number 1, unfortunately OH is unsure on it!

Hopefully, Cora will grow on him OP as it's a lovely name! I also like Cassia.

I like Connie too but it doesn't have the 'ah' sound.

Orla and Clara are the two big vowel names for new babies around here replacing ella & Ava

I know it's not 2 syllables but Callista is pretty and unusual (it means beautiful I believe)

I have Lyra on my list - wouldn't personally go for Callista myself but do think it's very pretty :)

Ada is nice but gaining popularity I think, like Ava did.

FWIW I absolutely love Isla!

I know a girl called Kiara and went to school with a few Kiera's, those are the only ones I can think of that haven't been mentioned!
