Struggling for dd2 name

[GKite]

I've got 16 days left of my pregnancy and hate every name possible.
OHs grandad passed away just as I found out I was pregnant so would like to use his name some how, he was Ian but OH not keen for Iana and doesn't know how to say Ianina so doesn't like that either.
Help??

Yes Blair Ian is definitely too boyish. Would you want to have the middle name Ian?
Penelope Nia
Isla Blair
Although if you don’t want to choose a popular name Isla is top 20 now I think.

Isla - eye-la.

How about Tiana, T-ian-a, you've still got the Ian in the middle.

I struggled with names too! My little one is called Lois, I loved the name Zara too

My partner has friends called Lois and zara so that's a no 😂
Don't like tiana sorry. Not keen on isla just because my head can't automatically say it properly

Penelope is a gorgeous name.

What about Penelope Nia.

I like Blair too just wouldn’t pair it with Ian or she will spend or whole life with people saying your parents really wanted a boy didn’t they!!

Phillipa
Sienna
Ava
Cara
Lara

I say this every time there is a what name thread but I love the name Audrey nothing to do with Ian but I bet he would have liked that name too.😄

Love your kids' names OP and Penelope fits really well with the other two.

Nevaeh is heaven backwards. Could use that to honour grandad Ian. Unless you're not religious... what about Zoe, Shea (pronounced shay), Willow, Saffron, Clara, Luna. I think Blair Ian is quite a boyish name!

I do love Penelope!

I personally think you're making a really hard task even harder by trying to honour grandad! You don't like any names to start with so trying to also use his name is going to make it even more stressful!

Amelia and Leon are lovely names.

What about:
Marissa
Tessa
Connie
Lynette
Harriet
Jasmine
Jade
Larissa
Macey
Maeve
Deanna
Olive
Orla
Sinead
Fiona
Florence
Juliet
Ria
Skye
Lydia
Erica
Briony
Evie
Evelyn
Peony
Thea
Tabitha
Joni

Good luck!!

I think Penelope really suits your other children’s names - and they all have beautiful names

I’d park the idea of honouring Her Grandad. It’s hard enough to find a name you like without trying to find a girls name incorporating a man’s name too.

Your partner wants to use Ian as a middle name for a girl?!? Seriously? Sorry to be frank, but I think it's hideous

I'm not a fan of Blair in the slightest, but if you like it, what about Penelope Blair?

I think Penelope and Amelia go well together.

I know I'm making it even harder, I just think it's a really nice sentiment. He adored being a great grandad to Amelia and I know he would be over the moon at having a part of his name live on
And as we aren't having any more children this would just be so fitting imo

Liana?

Sian

Alternatively is there anything else about her great grandfather that could be honored? His surname or middle name variations? Somewhere special that has meaning to do with him?

Nina?

Tina?

Rhiannon

Ianna/Iana
Vivian
Lilian/Lily
Ariana
Sian
Rhiannon

I think Penelope works with your other children's names 🙂

Other names that come to mind are; Isobel, Katherine, Katie, Eloise & Sienna.

Juliette Ian

Juliette Ian? Please no.
