Sibling for Oran

13 replies

Dd is due this December.
Please help with a girls name. I have a boy called Oran.

Names I like are:

Rowan (too similar to Oran)
Arwen (as above)

Iris
Possibly Robin?
Name ending with ‘a’ would go well with our surname but I’m not too keen on really feminine names like Isabella, Olivia (though I love Olive!) etc

Any other suggestions welcome!

I wouldn't go for Arwen unless you're Welsh or in Wales as most English people can't pronounce it correctly.

What about Erin or Elin?

Olive is lovely.

Names ending in A that aren't too feminine: Rita, Alma, Alba (which goes really well with Oran I think), Edna which must be due a come back.

Utang?

THAnks some really nice suggestions!

I really like Elin and think that was on a list at some point but I’d totally forgotten about it!

Yes thinking about it maybe I do have a bit of a preference for Irish/Celtic names. I also liked Inga and Iona but DH wasn’t keen. Also we have an Irish surname, but not directly Irish, and don’t want to make it seem like too much of a ‘theme’

Mara? I believe it's Gaelic for 'sea'.
