Really, really struggling to settle on a girls name.

Sister to Jake and Liam.

Looking for a short, unfussy name.

Not keen on flower/nature names or “old lady” names for her.

So far our maybe list is short...

Lexi (I know it’s a marmite name on MN)
Ciara (trying so hard to avoid as friend has dd with this name)
Caoimhe (DH hates the spelling!)
Elle (another marmite name on MN)

Surname starts with A so lots of girls names ending in a don’t work as the names run into each other.

Help please!!!

Thank you all, some good suggestions to run by DH tonight.

Lots I like we can’t use due to them already being used by family/close friends.

@Tlollj it’s an Irish name pronounced Keeva (my preferred pronounciation) or Kweeva depending on which part of Ireland.

@TatianaBis I don’t think given my Irish background, I could cope with phonetically spelling it Keeva, it hurts my eyes!

Not a name usually on my radar but I think Jake, Liam and Alicia has a nice ring to it.

Erin I think is lovely and goes well with Jake and Liam.
Also think Grace, Blair and Brooke work well

Lexi is awful. Elsie is nice. Would not know how to begin to pronounce Caoimhe. So not that.

NotTheCatsWhiskers · 18/06/2021 13:18

Agree that Lexi is awful. It’s also massively overused and always paired with the inevitable Rose/Grace/May that all girls seem to have at the minute.

I love Clara.

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 18/06/2021 19:29

Not keen on your choices, sorry - they seem a bit unusual compared to more classic/popular Jake and Liam. But Nell would be lovely instead of Elle (which blends more into all the other Ellie/Ella's about). Other short/simple names that work with Jake and Liam imo:

Alice (alliteration with surname might be nice?)
Amy (as above)
Sophie
Rose
Erin
Grace
Eve
Esme
Maeve
Tess
Gwen
Iris
May
Hope
