Possible Name for Baby No7

[Pebstk]

Hi there, I posted a few weeks ago looking some advice for Baby No 7 - a girl - our current children are Ewan, Eilidh, Peter, Cait, Harry and Robbie.

I have been struggling to think of name - my beloved dad who died 11 years ago was called Terry - not a name I would pick for a boy but beginning to think Teri for a girl might be quite nice and a real tribute to my dad. Just not sure 🤔- had been think Teri Elizabeth after my dad and gran - our surname is short, Scottish and easy to pair with

Teri Elizabeth is pretty. Congratulations.

Terry on its own can be a feminine name, I think it fits really nicely with your other children's names. Good luck with no.7! phew!

Teresa?

Teri would be a beautiful nickname and a lovely tribute to your father. Maybe Teresa/Theresa or Katherina on the birth certificate though.

Teresa isn’t really an option unfortunately - we live in an an area of NI where the name would be associated with a different religious and could cause issues for the child - still a sad state of affairs here

Is Therese (French version) any more acceptable? I’m one of those people who likes a long name with a nickname as you can probably tell!

I like longer names shortened as well - Robbie is Robert on his birth certificate but only known as Robbie - but no Therese would also be out

Septima

No thanks

Is Tessa still too close to Teresa?

Teri is nice and goes well though.

I think Teri is fine for a girl 💗 other names similar to Teri u could consider ..

Tillie
Tallie
Matilda (tildie for short)
Tiana
Terianne
Tallulah
Tasya

This may be a bit over the top, OP, but there is an Ancient Roman name 'Terentia'.
It's the female version of Terentius, which is, of course, the origin of the modern male name Terence/Terry.

Teri would be a very good short version.

Terina?
Teryn

Tessa is very pretty, Teri isn't. I would say it's a bit chavvy.

Thank you for all the suggestions - I think it has clarified for me we would either go with just Terri or Teri or something else completely - the attraction to the name for me is it is my dad’s name rather than a name I absolutely love in it’s own right but more want to check that generally people don’t seem to think it’s horrible or dated for a baby girl

Teri is fine - it worked for Teri Hatcher anyway.

I like Katerina for the BC with Teri as nickname, but if you just wanted Teri with no longer name, then go for it.

Terin, Tierra, Demeter, Terrilyn, Aster, Winter, Hester or Teriana could all have Teri as nickname too.

The best one I found (not necessarily for usability though!) was Terpsichore, a Greek name pronounced Terp-SIC-or-ee, meaning 'delight in dancing' and one of the 5 Muses

Terri is lovely, I know a nice pharmacist I went to school with who’s just Terri

Did your dad have a middle name?

I think Terri/Terry/Teri are all very dated.

Would Tara be out of the question?

I really don't like it at all sorry. It feels very 80s to me and as another poster has said, a bit chavvy

I love Teri/Terri for a girl, and I wouldn't see it as chavvy at all

Seven?

It was mentioned on another baby name thread lately.

How about hyphenating it eg Teri-May or Teri-Rose etc

I like Teri 😊 A lovely way to honour your Dad.

One of my DDs went to school with a Teru. (Pr. ter-OO)

It's Japanese (though this girl's mother was Filipino) and means 'brilliant'.
