Name for a girl that meets this criteria

128 replies

I'm trying to decide on a name for a girl but am struggling. All I've come up with is some criteria for it meet, and would appreciate any suggestions that meet these.

  • Not in the top 200
  • Does not start with B, C, D, O, P or U
  • Does not end in ‘ia’ (a alone is ok)
  • Works together with a colour surname (White) so that it doesn’t sound like a description.

Thanks!

Growing up, I knew a Susan, Rachel and a Felicity White.

Other names that might work...
Elizabeth
Helen
Mary
Miriam
Primrose

Out of curiosity, why 200? I mean, if you find a name you love at #150, would you reject it? It would still be quite uncommon.

As someone with a fairly unusual name (which has been suggested on this thread), it can be a right pain in the arse at times.

Sakura, it's really just my personal preference of the level of popularity of the name I'd ideally like. If there was a name I loved just outside I wouldn't rule it out, but having a very popular name has not been great for me either, so I guess I'm looking to see how the opposite is for my child.

Xanthe

Although it does mean yellow so you might not want that with your surname!

Fair enough OP. I'd suggest using a name that people have heard of, but that's not widely used, as opposed to something that's a bit out there. Like an Audrey or Helena.

If you like Sasha, what about Natasha?

Isla? I don't think that's outside the top 200 😂

Nor are several mentioned here above- Harriet, Eden, Annabelle, Lois, Lyra to mention a few.

OP it might help to refer to table 6 on this link so you can scan through the names outside the top 200 www.ons.gov.uk/file?uri=/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/livebirths/datasets/babynamesenglandandwalesbabynamesstatisticsgirls/2017/2017girlsnames.xls
