I am finally losing it aren’t I???

[Blutterflies]

Hi, I am not new to MN but have set up new account
I think my hormones are getting the better of me.

I have 3 other children 7,6 and 5. Traditional names but not twee or vintage . Think Grace etc
Have just found out I’m pg with very unexpected Baby number 4 (5y gap. Eeeek)
It feels like my first pregnancy all over again. It’s very early days but all I can think of is this baby. It’s consuming me !! I’m set on it being a girl even though it probably barely has genitalia yet :-)

Anyway, my mother is called Tina which I am not keen on but would like to nod to her in the name if it’s a girl so was thinking Tiana thoughts on that name please?
I am also seriously considering the name Navy for a girl as it’s small, cute and different. Am I nuts??
Also am slightly falling in love with Noa/ Noah for a girl which I also feel slightly bonkers for liking.
The only other names I really like are
Edie
Yvette
Tyra (banks will be old hat in 10/15y, no?)
Fiona
Tess

I can’t call a baby Navy can I??
Or Noa??
Speak some sense to a ravenous, over emotional 4th timer please

Fiona is good.

If you like the v sound how about Mavis?

Tatiana

Tirana- first thing I thought was Tirana-saurus
Coming from a woman who wanted to call a child Navy Pa! Ha!
Roaring at the “In the navy” song

I am open to more out there names as we are a mixed race family I have Native American/ black/ Mediterranean heritage and my partner is Irish so feel we could pull off a More exotic name hence the Tiana idea.

Also as there is a 5y gap I presume little Navy will want a playmate so two “made up” or “out there” names won’t be too bad.

How about Valentina? It could be shortened to Tina or Lennie

Valentina is really nice. My other girls are short names but I really like that

I know a wonderful lady called Albertina.... my cousins middle name is Valentina but she was born on valentine's day....

It’s the hormones!

Edie and tess are ok, the others not so much.

What about Nina, Lois, Flora?

The song, ‘In the Navy’ should put you off.

Tiana is beautiful. Noa is gorgeous too!

Navy is bonkers

Navy is bad, but you know that. Noa is fine. Plenty around.

Tiana is a bit too Disney for me.

I like Edie and Fiona.

Call your child what ever name you like it's your baby who wants a common name what everyone has it's good to pick a unique name I like navvy but I would probably put somethink with it

I like Noa for a girl. Or Nora. Or Nina (my DD’s name and maybe also a tribute to your mum’s name).

If you like “v” then what about
Olivia
Olive
Verity
Livinia
Vita

How about Ivy? It sounds similar to Navy .

how about Navy as a middle name??

Valentina Navy sounds so beautiful

@Blutterflies

I know a Noe (pronounces No-e) which is a boy but I always thing sounds like a girls name.

Tiana is very Disney - Princess and the Frog.

also I love Tiana

Nina?

I wanted to call out first girl Olive so badly but OH was totally against it. My daughter has a Verity in her class and calls her Ferrity so that has put me off. Maybe I’ll go with a shortlist of
Edie/ Edith
Valentina
Noa (wildcard)
Maybe Ivy which is similar to hides Navy

I love Noa!

Navy isn't AWFUL (there's worse out there) but she will always have "what, like the colour" repeated back to her every single time she meets someone new.

@butterflies but I'm also pregnant so maybe it is insane...don't listen to me.

Tiana is terrible.

I know a little Navy (boy) his sister is Raeven which I quite like also... but they don't live in the Uk

YABU for using the term “give a nod to” 😷😷😷.

Only previously heard in The Sun or Daily Mail.

Tiana is an OK name. Navy actually is fine! I like it. Or just name your baby Tina.

Please call her Edie, or have a boy!

I love Tess and Tessa.

I actually think Navy is quite nice I've heard much worse names recently.
