Erin AND ...

[jacqcn411]

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

I like all the ones on your list except Blake, but I think Mira might be a bit tongue-twistery with Erin.

Have you thought about Sara? Simple, pretty, easy to parse, but not at all common at the moment.

Oh duh - sorry, I missed that you had already chosen Thea! Lovely! Congratulations!

Love Nina. Sorry, but to me, Blake is (if anything) a boy's name. How about Alice...Clara...Nancy ?
When We had our kids we had a policy of not discussing names with family. It was hard enough to find names we both liked, without trying to please everyone else!

Nina - I like it
Cleo - lovely
Lyla - no, sounds like Lilo
Mira - shower brand, Myra Hindley.
Blake - boy's name

Mia is lovely but v popular. Nia (pron. Nee-ah) is a pretty Welsh name and Niamh is the Irish version of it.
Mia Farrow's real first name is Maria.

Cleo is lovely. I know an Erin and Shona!
