We have a very common surname - Smith
It’s got to point myself and DP have chose a couple of names each and wondered what other people’s opinions are.
I like - Maya, Leah, Nova, Indie
DP likes - Harper and Ella. He also agrees on Maya but not set for sure.

A lot of different opinions for sure! It would be mya I’d b considering if maya is pronounced differently!

Maya and Leah are nice. I don't like Nova. It means "doesn't go" in some languages as well. I don't like Indie either unless it was short for something longer. Harper is too surnamey and very "influenced by celebs". Ella is fine. I think you could go with slightly longer names, personally, if your surname is short and plain.

I love Indie the best. It's a really pretty name. I like the spelling Indy a touch better but regardless it's beautiful :)

Indie Smith!

I like Harper best from your list.

Maya I would pronounce May-ah so it could get annoying having to correct people.

Indie I would have as short for India.

Ella and Leah are quite popular names.

Nova doesn't even sound like a name.

Leah and Harper were both on our list if DS1 was a girl. Also Alannah and Dylan.

I love Leah and Harper equally, both fab names

Sorry, not a fan of Nova. I’m not hugely keen on the way it sounds and in Latin it means ‘new’ - fine for a newborn but perhaps not later on.

I like your other names though, particularly Indie. I’d be tempted to find a formal name for the bc though, but that’s just me!

mondler · 12/05/2018 18:36

You have great taste OP. I like them all apart from Nova. Leah is beautiful and I love Harper and Indie.

mummytobe07 · 12/05/2018 22:59

Well I guess I’ll rule out Nova considering people’s opinions and fact DP seems to hate it lol! Just need to continue saying the rest along with surname and see what fits best. As suggested I’ve looked at “official” names for Indie but I’m not keen on India etc
