Baby is here, but can’t pick name.

[Orphlids]

Baby girl is two weeks old today, and we’re a bit stuck for a name. We seem to keep coming back to these two: Gaia Delphine and Ingrid Isolde. Which do you prefer? (Please, if you hate them both, could you refrain from saying so? Thanks!)

Gaia Delphine has no particularly special meaning to us, we just like the sound. But I can’t decide if Gaia doesn’t stand out from all the other vowel-heavy names which are currently popular.

I like the alliteration of Ingrid Isolde. I like how Ingrid sounds different to the many very frilly and pretty names currently in fashion. I don’t like the sound of the name Isolde particularly, but the baby’s older sister is named after a character from opera and I’d like that little link between them.

Thanks for any feedback!

Carmen is my first DD. Not choosing another operatic one, going for 1920s instead. Am over saturated with names though and have appointment to register on Thursday!

Ingrid Isolde definitely, they're both beautiful & unusual names! 😀

I prefer Ingrid Isolde, don’t like Gaia. That said, I’m not mad keen on naming a child after such a train wreck of a character, although there are probably not many opera characters to choose from who don’t make terrible choices 😂

Ingrid Isolde is such a beautiful name! Congrats.

Gaia is beautiful too. Wouldn't most pronounce it Guy-a?

I thought Gaia was gay-ah

I thought Gaia was gay-ah

Me too

I thought Gaia is Guy-a, like Maia.

I like it, also like Ingrid. Both are interesting and memorable names!

I would go for Ingrid. I think it’s a pretty name.

I don’t know how to pronounce Gaia and imagine people not knowing would get annoying for you and DD over a lifetime.

Really like Ingrid and like you have said, Delphine would be my second fave. Congratulations on your baby girl and I hope this has helped 💖 x

Delphine Isolde.

Ingrid Isolde i like the idea of the siblings mn having a tie

Gaia Delphine is my favourite.
I don’t think Ingrid Isolde flows very well.

Delphine is lovely
Dislike Ingrid

Ingrid is lovely.
Agree there might be pronunciation issues with your other choice.

Ingrid is lovely. Are you any closer to a decision?
