I have a daughter called Savannah we are expecting another little girl later this year and we are struggling with a name that my husband and I can agree on 😩

We like Ari but not convinced any suggestions would be great thanks 😊

I know a Savannah with a sister called Coral.

Squeakerfoot · 01/10/2020 20:10

I also think Ariana (or Oriana) would be nice.

ChanklyBore · 01/10/2020 21:12

I know a few Savannahs so I was surprised to see it as unusual. I looked it up and it’s 123rd most popular last year, so pretty high up - names at a similar level of popularity are Francesca, Eden, Alexandra, Julia, Autumn, Gabriella, Niamh, Aaliyah, Darcey, Ottilie.

If you want actually unusual- outside the top 1000 - Nuala, Cassia, Della, Viola, Zelda, Barbara, Anne.

I have a very unusual name and I do love it
People always ask where it's from/compliment it/remember me (This is both good and bad!!) And went with an unusual name for DD

Viviennemary · 01/10/2020 21:55

I like Savannah. Not keen on Ari. Of the names suggested here I like Pearl, Sorrel, Coralie. I also quite like Sylvia and Veronica. They're due a comeback.

MichelleOR84 · 01/10/2020 22:02

I really like the name Savannah . It was in my top picks for girl names but I had a boy instead . I like less common names too mostly because I struggle to connect with a name if I already know someone with it/that I’ve heard a lot.

My top girl picks :

Everly or Everleigh
Skylar
Skye
Summer
Elodie ( Ella)
Florence ( Florrie)
Flora
Clara
Kinsley
Tessa
Delaney
Millie
Brinley
Brynn
Billie
Frankie
Charlie
( I like unisex names for girls )

JayAlfredPrufrock · 01/10/2020 22:09

Calypso
Rosalind

spiderbride · 01/10/2020 22:18

Ariadne
Ceridwen
If you want to shorten to Ari... Maybe "Cariad"? Means "love" in Welsh :)

Tillygetsit · 01/10/2020 22:29

I prefer Ariane to Ariana which rhymes with Savannah.
I think Vivienne goes well.

Viviennemary · 01/10/2020 22:31

I totally second Vivienne. Grin Rosalind is very nice too.

yikesanotherbooboo · 01/10/2020 23:15

It would be very unusual in current times to have six of any one name running around.
Sri is an obvious short for Ariadne which would fit well with known but easy to spell and uncommon frequency criteria.

yikesanotherbooboo · 01/10/2020 23:16

Ari not Sri !!

Amimissingsomethinghere · 01/10/2020 23:21

Savannah + Clara sounds nice!
Savannah + Marianne
Savannah + Caroline (oooh, this keeps with the Southern theme)

RainbowMum11 · 02/10/2020 02:43

I thought I had picked a non popular name - it's is often mentioned (& sometimes ridiculed slightly on here) for my DD but there is also another girl with her name in the class.
Just go by the names you both like & what suits your baby when it's born.
