Erin AND ...

Hi there, currently half way through my pregnancy with my second daughter. My first is Erin Angelica, for our second we want another short & sweet first name but not too popular,
our list currently is: Nina, Cleo, Lyla, Mira & Blake .. Thoughts?? Be honest we want to avoid all potential funny faces when we tell people our daughters names (grin)
Thanks! x

Alba.

I really like Cleo, but not keen on your other choices, sorry

LML83 · 28/01/2018 22:45

really like Erin and Nina, don't know why as not my usual sort of name but thinks as a pair it's really nice. (and lovely on its own of course)

Justgivemesomepeace · 28/01/2018 22:45

I know an Erin and Isla. I quite like Cleo from your list. Not keen on Blake.

MonaTheMoaner · 28/01/2018 22:46

I really like Nina.

Greensleeves · 28/01/2018 22:47

Orla

jacqcn411 · 28/01/2018 22:48

Nina & Cleo are our two favourites, yet the two family have pulled faces at, how frustrating! Glad to see them being favoured on here

Erin and Nina.
Other suggestions.
Rosa. Kate. Leah. Cora

Maremaremare · 28/01/2018 22:50

I like Nina and Cleo too!

LML83 · 28/01/2018 22:50

it's easy to pull faces at an idea, when baby is here family will be delighted (if not their opinion is worth bothering about.)

mamalovebird · 28/01/2018 22:51

The first name that popped in my head when I saw Erin was Aria- I don't know why... I don't even know if it's an actual name... but I like it.

DramaAlpaca · 28/01/2018 22:52

Erin & Nina are nicest together from your list.

The only one on your list I don't like is Blake as I don't see it as a girls' name.

peachypetite · 28/01/2018 22:52

Alice

Muddlingalongalone · 28/01/2018 22:53

I like Nina but not so much with Erin - it feels like there are too many n's when you say E & N or E,N when calling to them.
What about Lara?

jacqcn411 · 28/01/2018 22:54

My only slight reservation with Nina is that her surname will be Nixon, too matchy matchy? Feel it needs a long pretty middle name to break it up.

I like Nina and Lyla from your list. Other suggestions:

Alba
Leah
Layla
Pippa

Worldsworstcook · 28/01/2018 22:56

Finn - my dd has it and loves it.

Taila is also nice

RavenWings · 28/01/2018 22:59

Nina - love it
Cleo - nope, cat/car name
Lyla - not keen. I love Lyra though
Mira - pretty. What about Mina?
Blake - boys name. I know Blake Lively exists but it's still very male. I absolutely love Blair, though.

Suggestions: Rana, Fern, Orla, Una, Ivy, Zoe, Zahra, Anya, Hazel, Ida, Lorna.

RavenWings · 28/01/2018 23:00

Oh Nina Nixon is way too matchy imo. Such a shame.

jacqcn411 · 28/01/2018 23:05

I'm more lost than when I started! Cleo is my current fav but i don't want her being picked on for having the same name as a car..
Gosh perhaps I need a whole new list! Keep suggestions coming!x

An old friend had an Erin and a Mia. I don't know how popular Mia is now.

jacqcn411 · 28/01/2018 23:07

Mia is my partners favourite name but i refuse because it's number 6 or something ridiculous.. shame it's such a cute name.

OP posts:
RavenWings · 28/01/2018 23:07

Mia is v popular ime - in the primary school where I work, anyway.

jacqcn411 · 28/01/2018 23:10

How do we feel about Fleur? Too different with Erin?
