I think I've found THE ONE :) BUTTT...

[kittytiggy]

So, I rung up my mum - here's how the phone call went:
Me "I just can't get over Acacia and not sure if Saskia is the one!"
Mum "Fuck these modern names, just choose Florence or Ivy or NORA, something classic."

NORA !!!
NORA IVY??? I looooove it. But then Saskia is more modern and DS is Grayson so they're very different styles. So many thoughts. What do you think?

Norah is beautiful. Ds has a friend in school called Norah and I know another two.

Saskia just makes me think of the woman who his Steve over the head with an ashtray, in Eastenders in the 90's.
Acacia just makes me think of the tree, like Oak or Beech.
Nora is kind of okay... A bit granny-ish, but in the same way loads of granny names are coming back for little kids. Like Ethel...

Mabel is cute...

Saskia 'chavvy'?
(Quite apart from the fact that I hate the term 'chavvy')

Love Saskia. Nora is hipster, as is Mabel. Astrid's nice.
Acacia Avenue.

Love Acacia and Nora. Saskia is a bit table dancer.

Oh I love Nora and Nora Ivy is beautiful. Why does it matter was DS is called? Why do they need to match?
DD1 has a Victorian name and DD2 has one that’s American and so unusual that everyone thinks its made up (it isn’t)
🤷🏼‍♀️

P.s. I really like Saskia too 😁

What about anora? I love that name it maybe spelled Ahnora I'm not sure

Or maybe it's Anorah...

I like Annorah too.

I like Mabel better than Nora.
Of all the names you've mentioned I like Astrid best.

What about anora?
You know that would changed to Anorak at school....

Saskia is a fabulous name - love it. Nora is very pretty too though!

Why don’t you wait until she’s here and you’ve met her?

Astrid is totally fabulous and goes so well with Grayson.
Mabel is great, I love it but it’s definitely a marmite sort of name do be prepared for a few faces!
Saskia is ok, I don’t love it. It sounds a bit harsh.
Nora.. not keen. As someone else said it’s s bit dowdy. I wouldn’t want to be called Nora.
Acacia is really bad. Please don’t do that to your baby.

Nora's horrible. Very unfriendly and harsh. Its not even the sort of name where its that awful its adorable such as Maude or Gertie for example.
Your mum has her day naming her kids. Its none of her business.
If she loves the name Nora so much why didn't she give it to one of her own kids.

The phrase bloody Nora would put me off tbh.

Oh I love Nora and Nora Ivy is beautiful.

Maybe it's just me but it is really difficult to say.

OP, you are not helping yourself make a decision by constantly posting here and being swayed by random internet people. Find a name that you and your partner like, stop fixating on THE ONE TRUE NAME TO RULE THEM ALL, and calm down about it.

Saskia!

If you like Nora but aren't sure, what about Nina or Thora?

Scrap them all (especially Acacia)and start again.

Noa
Cassia
Assia
Callia

I love Nora Ivy.

I like Saskia.

I've never heard the name Acacia. It sounds like a garden plant.

Mabel still sounds too old-lady to me

...but how about Enid? I think that's due for a comeback

...but how about Enid? I think that's due for a comeback

You cannot be serious ...

Nora was my late MILs first name, she disliked it so much that she went by her middle name. An 'old lady' name old ladies didn't like....

Astrid is very nice.
