Girl's names - help!

[Nell96]

I've posted before, but we've just found out that we're having a little girl. We already have one daughter, called Nia. I'd love some opinions on our list, and maybe some other suggestions. In order, we like:

Sabrina
Erin
Fern
Serena
Iona
Hazel
Faye

Looking for something not massively popular, not too frilly or cutesy. I like names with an interesting meaning or historical link, or ones which are associated with nature. Thanks.

I love Serena from your list! My suggestion is Celeste. Also, Erin is really popular where I live (SW England) - may be a regional thing but DH and I were just saying earlier how so many kids we know are called Erin and Reuben! They seem to be the two we come across most. Just a heads up if you don't want popular.

I prefer Fern from your list.

Other suggestions:
Savannah (Similar to Sabrina but sounds less like Nia)
Celeste

Sabrina/Serena and Nia don't sound right together.

Eliana
Felicity
Lucy
Lara
Saskia
Naomi
Suzette
Jasmine

Maybe not Eliana actually. I think a name with no N may suit Nia best.

Love Iona. Beautiful name.

I love Erin and Faye from your list. I prefer shorter names.

I'm not a fan of Hazel but that's just personal preference

Nia & Simone?
Fern works well if it's Nia & Fern but Fern & Nia is a bit hard for me to say outloud.

Gorgeous list, love them all! Erin is quite popular here which would put me off but I think you can't go wrong with the rest 🙂

I really like Serena and Iona from your list.

Aurelia

Cora
Cerys
Esther
Ffion
Genevieve
Heidi
Ida
Juliet
Kiara
Lois
Orla
Rosa
Selina
Talia
Xanthe

Fern, Faye or Hazel from your list! Love all three.

I also love Nia.

Love the name Nia! I think Faye goes beautifully with it - the others on your list not so much

Nia and Farrah

Nia & Simone? Fern works well if it's Nia & Fern but Fern & Nia is a bit hard for me to say outloud.

I’m only getting Nina Simone from that.

Hazel

I love Fern, Erin & Serena from your list.

How about;

Niamh
Seren
Holly

Of your choices Faye sounds lovely with Nia , although I'd also suggest classic May too - underused as a first name and also a flower (so nature links).

I also think Eira would work well with Nia - Welsh and nature meaning too, or maybe Vaila? (a Scottish Island like Iona and a pretty name).

Other favourite (and underused) nature names I love are Cassia and Gaia (these have historical links too, being Ancient Roman/Greek).

@CoffeeRunner me too!

Op you have a lovely name list there, personally I was drawn to Iona and Faye most.

How about also Aine, Breda or Eavan?

Hazel
Faye
Juliette

Great list, apart from the S names. Hazel is my favourite. How about Tamsin?

With Nia I'd go for Iona, Erin, Fern or Faye. All the names on your list are lovely, but if I was Nia and my sister was Sabrina/Serena, there might be a point in my early teens (before growing out of it ) when I'd feel somewhat short-changed.

Robyn
Heather
Aster
Stella
Lyra

Favourite from list is Fern.

Other suggestions:
Jasmine
Dawn
Brooke
Juniper
Zinnia
Amber

I like Fern & Hazel

Nia is prounced? 🙂

@babynamelover

I like Fern & Hazel

Nia is prounced? 🙂

Nia is pronounced Nee-ah. Welsh name.

Nice names, I love Serena, Iona and Sabrina, in that order.
Quite like Fern. Erin's OK - bit dull, Aeryn bit more interesting. Don't like Hazel or Faye.

Other thoughts - Cassia, Fernanda, Rosanna/Rosanagh, Isella (Cornish name - form of Isabella I think), Lois, Ines, Arran, Laurel, Bay, Briar, Aislinn (Ash-lin), Frances, Esther
