Baby Girl Names

Im trying to come up with some baby girl names (with middle names) that are not common but are also not unheard of. I have a 3 syllable surname that starts with R, so the names can't be too long. So far I have some up with:

  • Esme Grace
  • Carmen Olivia
  • Tamsin Sophia

Out of these 3 which one is your preference? Are there any other name suggestions that are similar to these?

Esme is lovely (as long as you won’t be bothered by mispronunciations)

Don’t like the others

Bumblebeesmum · 08/05/2019 21:47

Clara & Camilla are nice

DramaAlpaca · 08/05/2019 21:48

Tamsin Sophia is my favourite, I really love it.

To switch them around.
Esme Sophia.
Olivia Grace.
Although Grace is far from unusual as a middle name, and I think Olivia is the top girls name.
Other ideas.
Lily Madison
Eden Savannah
Penelope Ava
Ivy Loren
Molly Aurora
Lacey Nicole
Daisy Evelina
Layla Jane

I love Carmen it’s ultra feminine and vivacious
Tamsin is ok
Esme Grace is ridiculously popular so that would put me off!

Other names I like that aren’t too long are
Polly
Helena
Anna
Sasha
India
Greta
Lilith

Tamsin Sophia is beautiful

Tillygetsit · 08/05/2019 22:30

Tamsin Sophia....what a gorgeous name

PlatypusLeague · 08/05/2019 22:53

I like Esme Grace best of the three.

Carmen Sophia or Esme Olivia would also work well.

Shadow1234 · 08/05/2019 23:45

Esme Grace is lovely, and flows the best out of the 3.

If popularity is a concern then you need to lose Grace, Olivia and Sophia all of which are extremely popular.

Esme is also fairly popular.

I really don't like Tamsin, but it does fill the brief of not being unheard of, but also not being popular.

Carmen is lovely and also fills the brief. Easy to say and spell, a name everyone has heard of, but really underused. I like it.

Other suggestions:

Cecily
Coralie or Coraline
Jasmine
Mona or Ramona
Amanda
Pamela

Likeagibbon · 09/05/2019 00:08

My favourite on your list is carmen olivia. You could change olivia to olive if you are worried about the popularity?
Other options- cara/ciara/clara.
Elsie. Eliza. Pheobe (unsure on popularity though so might be too popular!).

MercyBodle · 09/05/2019 06:24

I love Tamsin and don't mind the combo of Tamsin Sophia. Other ideas - Tamsin Eliza, Tamsin Briony, Tamsin Erica, Tamsin Verity, Tamsin Kiera.

Esme Grace works okay and is nice enough. It will be popular though if that's an issue for you. I don't like Carmen.

3in4years · 09/05/2019 23:01

Carmen Olivia

DieselSucker · 10/05/2019 13:19

Tamsin Sophia. Not keen on the others

NameChangedNoImagination · 10/05/2019 20:39

Carmen is lovely
