Sophia/Sofia/Tilly/Tillie/Primrose

[noahsmum256]

Me again.... apologies in advance!
Having a wobble over Harper, I have a unisex uncommon name and it has always annoyed me growing up. Summer just doesn't seem to fit with Noah. Hope doesn't really go with the surname and it doesn't feel like "the one".

Older brother Noah. Short surname, 4 letters beginning with B.

Always loved Matilda but now can't use, close family member used and wouldn't feel comfortable using. Wondered whether I could use Tilly/Tillie instead as a given name?

Another name that strikes me as very pretty is Sophia/Sofia?

Then there is Primrose. Heard on "Call the Midwife" and adored the name. Could I use in real life? Or is it too oldy worldy now?

Thank you all :-)

Just to add my name is also 4 letter beginning with T. So I'm not sure if that writes off Tilly/Tillie.

Cora is also appealing to be. But not sure if it will go with surname.

I love Primrose!!
It's my favourite out of the ones you have listed.

Sophia is a lovely name, but I don't think it quite goes with brother Noah. I think with a cousin Matilda, Tilly on its own would still seem a bit odd.

Primrose could work.

OR:
Lydia
Susanna
Charlotte
Chloe

Sophia/Sofia.

It's a beautiful name and the only one of your choices that will work on an adult as well as a child.

Primrose is beautiful

I wouldn't use Tilly on its own.

I like Primrose and some nice nn options - Rose/Rosie etc

Sophia is pretty and I like Cora too

Primrose is the one you are looking for I believe

Sophia is nice. Not sure it goes with Noah, though. I like Primrose too. Not Tilly.
Susannah -similar feel to Sophia but it’s biblical like Noah.
Iris- not biblical but goddess of rainbow links with Noah.
Keziah - biblical but not so common.

Thank you daisypond
Did also think of Eden but not sure if its too unisex?

I love Sophia. I had that on my list before

Eden.

Sophia is way too popular. Primrose doesn't go with Noah.

Noah and Eden sounds lovely.

I like Sophia and Primrose best.

Noah and Eden seem very ‘Bible story’ together

Primrose! Go for it!

Primrose

123Dancewithme I did think that and its putting me off that there are nearly as many boy Eden's as girl Eden's.

Not so keen on Primrose
Sophia, Cora or Tilly are lovely. I really love Tilda too. Nickname Tilly ❤️

I think if a close family member has used Matilda and you feel uncomfortable using it, I wouldavoid Tilly/tillie. I would think that's a fairly standard abbreviation of Matilda. You may find that your friends Matilda could easily end up being Tilly once she's at primary school etc.

Primrose... hate it. Their is a caravan park near me called primrose valley. I genuinely don't have think it works well as a name.

Love Sofia out of your list and I prefer this spelling over the other

Someone suggested Eden, I always thought this as a female name. Never met a boy called Eden?

Love the suggestion someone put forward of either Wren or Rosie/Rose.

Flynn999 Matilda and Tilly would not end up at school together. We live opposite ends of the country. Im worried it sounds a bit matchy with my name though anyway.
Wren doesn't sit right to me, as its a bird not a name. Hope I don't offend anyone. And Rose/Rosie I couldn't use due to an association sadly.

I have only met girl Edens, and though in theory unisex it is almost always used for girls these days. A good name.
I love Primrose. Very cool, a bit edgy, but gorgeous and great nickname options - Posy, Rosy, Rose, Pim, Prim, Romy, all of which I like. I like both Primrose and Eden next to Noah.
Sophia - lovely, and sounds like it will be great with the surname.
I agree that Hope does't sound good with surname, and possibly Harper not great with it either. I like Tilly though not sure about using it on its own. Can also be a nn for Ottilie (though not keen on Ottilie myself). I really like Summer, though it sounds like not the one for you.
In short, Primrose, Eden and Sophia all work I think. I'd focus on what works with the surname best rather than with brother Noah though.

hahah, my name is Matilda and my surname before i got married was a 4 letter beginning with B! My name was always shortened to tilly and i loved it being Matilda because i knew i always had to option to have that instead, however i’m not sure on Tilly on it’s own, people always told me it made me sound posh. Nevertheless, i love my name and wouldn’t change it for the world. I personally think sophia is too common, and hope i just don’t feel is a solid name for some reason. Some other names that i feel are along the same names are
flora
Mila
margot
eden
tallulah
i really like cora too, and it goes well with Noah

I love Summer, it’s such a happy name. Primrose is really pretty too.
Tally or Talia?

I'll go against the grain I like Sophia with Noah even if it's a little similar sounding they go nicely. Sophia Primrose would be beautiful 😍.

I adore Cora would have used it but hubby is Corie 😂.

Love Primrose also I think its nice as a middle name with Tilly or Sophia

Sophia Primrose
Tilly Primrose

Of your choices I like Harper best. Sophia/Sofia is an excellent name, Hope and Eden are nice but I don't like them with Noah, together it becomes a bit Bible themed. Not keen on Summer and really don't like Primrose, it's too fussy (Rose is beautiful though, go figure), prefer Matilda to Tilly (depends how close the relative is, but in previous generations it was common for cousins to have the same name, DH is from a large catholic family and they all have the same names, family gatherings are confusing!).

Noah is an excellent name. Do you want to stick with Biblical? Then classics like Rachel, Rebecca, or Sarah would go with it.

If you like Cora (I do too), then what about Caro(line) which is beautiful and due a revival. But if you like Harper go with that, I only know female Harpers anyway so would assume female.
