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 :-)

Thank you for your post. I thought about biblical girls names but literally don't like any!
Caroline just doesnt do it for me im afraid.
I prefer slightly more common names to be totally honest.

I love Cora and think it is quite unusual, Sophia/Sophie are also beautiful. Tbh I wouldn't worry too much about "matching" names, I also have a Noah - his brother has a French name (for his dad) and his sister has an Irish name (me). There is absolutely no link between them. Noah is still my favourite name ever though and although it is very popular now he was the only Noah all the way through his school Smile

SnowsInWater Noah is my favourite name ever and nothing quite compares to that! Ive settled on boys name as its one I also loved when I had Noah.
I don't think I realised how much I loved Matilda until I couldn't use it anymore.

If you like Tilly but Matilda's not an option, what about Tabitha nn Tibby? There's a Tibby at my daughter's playgroup and she's just lovely.

GrendelsCat Unforunately I have a bad association with the name Tabitha from my childhood.
This is where its so challenging, as where I work I meet alot of people and I associate names with people I have known of that name instantly.

Oh no! For what it's worth, I love the name Summer and would go with that in a heartbeat. I think it pairs nicely with Noah. Good luck!

Eden is unisex but I like it more for a girl!
