Totally stuck with girls names!
Older brother is Noah.
I don't particularly want to continue biblical theme. It was picked because I love it and didn't even realise how popular it was. As I loved the name I never thought to check.

Was set on Matilda for a girl but really unsure now.
Also recently thought of Mila and Georgia. Had a dream about having a little girl called Connie. But I'm completely lost!
Would any of these names work well with Noah? Anything else you can suggest?
Obviously I know nicknames are inevitable but I prefer names that are less likely to be shortened.
Thanks!

As mentioned before I prefer Georgia to Mila because it’s more traditional. (Though I personally don’t like Georgia). Mila is cute as a nn for Amelia/Camilla etc.

Noah can work well with many names. It’s classic/biblical so works with traditional names. But also very fashion that it can work with trendy names like Mila.

Matilda is fine too.

Have you considered Georgina instead?
Eliza? Isla? Beatrice? Flora? Martha? Florence? Charlotte? Eleanor? Alice? Clara/Lara? Margot? Poppy?

Connie is lovely, as is Georgia.

I'm named after a dream my Nanna had before I was born, I've always loved to have that story as to why I got my name (she died when I was a few months old).

NuffSaidSam · 13/03/2019 11:01

I like Matilda, Mila, Georgia and Connie. I think they're all lovely!

I think Mila goes least well with Noah because they're a bit matchy both being 4 letters, two syllables, both ending in 'ah' sound. But not terrible.

How about:

Noah and Madeline
Noah and Harriet
Noah and Lucinda/Lucy
Noah and Emily
Noah and Isobel
Noah and Katherine/Kitty/Kate
Noah and Millie
Noah and Penelope
Noah and Alice
Noah and Ruby
Noah and Daisy

I love Matilda and think it goes well with Noah, but if you were worried about how popular Noah is then I think Matilda is going the same way.

Connie is lovely, I really like it (although I'm a stickler for full names on birth certs so I'd go for Constance). Noah and Constance (Connie) sound great, and it's unusual but not weird.

Constance NN Coco is cool for when she's a teen.

heartoftheocean · 13/03/2019 19:39

Thank you so far. Nothing is really jumping out as "the one". Its so frustrating.
What do you think of Molly or Darcey? Either of those go with Noah? Any other suggestions?

Or Violet?

HeritageCarrot · 13/03/2019 19:49

Um I’m not feeling the love for Molly and Noah or Darcey and Noah (I cant get over the arsey part).

Any of these appeal:
Noah and Leah
Noah and Anna
Noah and Clara
Noah and Esme
Noah and Francesca
Noah and Georgia
Noah and Layla
Noah and Phoebe
Noah and Antonia

NeverHadANickname · 13/03/2019 20:17

I like Violet a lot.

Sexnotgender · 13/03/2019 20:18

Hate Darcey!

Connie is lovely.

Minglemangle · 13/03/2019 20:50

Names like Georgia = Harriett, Susannah, Elizabeth. Names like Mila = Lila, Anya, Zara

Thesnobbymiddleclassone · 13/03/2019 20:51

My daughters are Lily and Cecily. For middle names we went with Jessica and Ann if they're any good.

NuffSaidSam · 13/03/2019 21:31

Molly, Violet and Darcey are all nice too.

I like Violet best of those three.

Noah and Eleanor
Noah and Sophie
Noah and Miriam
Noah and Jennifer
Noah and Charlotte
Noah and Victoria
Noah and Mabel
Noah and Esmee
Noah and Cadence

Ricekrispie22 · 14/03/2019 05:14

I love Violet, but I think that Darcey goes best!

Names that don’t usually get shortened:
Martha
Alice (perhaps too popular)
Maisie
Ruby
Iris
Heidi
Scarlett
Florence
Robyn

flumpybear · 14/03/2019 05:47

Tabitha
Sorrel
Saskia
Imogen
Remy

FenellaMaxwell · 14/03/2019 08:23

Noah and Violet is lovely

whatstheplanphil · 14/03/2019 08:26

I love the name Connie ( Constance) , I think it goes really well with Noah .

WoahThereMama · 14/03/2019 08:30

Really dislike Darcy & Georgia. Matilda is OK.

I like Connie/Constance.

Other suggestions:
Eliza
Juliet
Lydia
Meredith

Icklepup · 14/03/2019 08:35

Noah and Violet!

Divgirl2 · 14/03/2019 08:36

Hate Georgia, don't like Darcey. Violet is nice, but, like Matilda, becoming very very popular.

The dream was telling you something!

Hersetta427 · 14/03/2019 16:30

Personally I would avoid another name sounding in 'a' at the end - too twee for me. Therefore my vote is for Connie.

Backhometothenorth · 14/03/2019 21:25

Noah and Rose
