Names like Thea?

[MeredithShepherd]

DP and I are really struggling to agree on names. He likes old fashioned/traditional names and I really don’t.
I already have DS who is Leo from a previous relationship so I feel it has to flow with that.
I am not a girly girl and don’t like frilly names. My favourite girls name is Cleo but I can’t use that with Leo or people will look at me like
I also love Thea so that’s currently front runner but I can’t find any more names like it that are on the same wavelength if you know what I mean.

Boys names we have are Luca, Ezra, Isaac and Oscar although I don’t think Oscar goes well with surname.

Help me!!

So you want a short, 2-syllable mac name? What does you partner like? (I love Thea).

Lois
Hester
Erin
Anna
Emma
Anwen
Hebe

It divides opinion but I LOVE Thora. Strong, totally frill-free, and unusual.

DP also likes Thea, he’s also suggested Heidi (ok) and Harriet (no!)
It’s so hard!
Yes I prefer names that can’t be shortened so short names are better!

@Buxbaum I LOVE it but my name is Laura....

Merryn
Edith
Zoe
Nancy

Thea is the only name DH and I agree on, so that's her name - we can't wait to meet her.

It's a beautiful name that will work throughout life - feminine but strong too.

I love Thora. I wouldn’t like Heidi myself.

Are flower names like Iris too girly Or Grace/Joy/Hope?
