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

I quite like Bettina, but I would shorten it to Betsy or Betty, both of which are super cute.

Clementina and Florentina are also possibilities.

Maeva?

Noah is dreadful. You know Navy is bad.

Tess is lovely; Edie can be great with the right personality.

I unexpectedly like Valentina, though that may be because I know a very glamorous and clever Valentina.

Maybe I meant chirpy or chippy

Navy is not an appropriate name for any child
Why did you even think of it?
Also consider the Christian name alongside your surname
Sometimes people neglect to do this and it can turn out to be laughable which is awful for the child

I was going to suggest Valentina so you can shorten to Tina. Someone beat me to it!

Not Navy.
How about Lark?

How about Nala, Naya?

Navy is a bit too alternative for my taste. Although you could always go the Avatar line and go with Navi
(Narvi) ?!

I like Navy! But then i don’t like the usual boring names where there are 5 the same in each class.
Yvette is Yvette Fielding to me . Tiana is a Disney princess. Noa is cute but people won’t pronounce it correctly.
Fiona is due a revival i reckon.

Definitely not Navy! The others sound fine if they're your taste.

I think Tina is very pretty! Short and cute, must be due back in fashion!

@ilovetinsel
Tirana is also a place name - capitol city of Albania which is a beautiful country

I like Clementina and Bettina.
Not Navy though, there’s too much potential for teasing. If you wanted a blue name, Indigo and Violet are easier to pull off.

I also really like the name Navy

I’m sorry, but now I have “We want you! We want you! We want you as a new recruit!” Stuck on my mind...

Noa and Navy! Uncommon but beautiful. The rest are quite old fashioned, think about your child having the same name as one of their friends' mums.

Love
Tiana
Navy
Yvette
Tyra

I love Navy actually!

How about corinthea, Thea for Short

Yes @hannahfaith

I also love:

Paloma
Alba
Lois
Belle
Violet
Xanthe

Christina?

Valentina is much nicer than Tina.

I actually like Noa for a girl, I would spell without the h though as that is the feminine version. Alternatives could be Noelle/ Noella, Nova or Nora.

I also like Edie and Tess.

I actually quite like Navy but it is unusual and doesn’t offer a lot of shortenings/ other options. Maybe better as a middle name!

Love Noa and Valentina!

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

First thing I thought of.

Noa is lovely ,Navy is not.

I like Edith/Edie, Ivy and Tess.

Naomi
Noella
Elsie
Leonie
Octavia, nickname Tavi
Nancy
Natalie
