Sibling for India and Rafferty

[3babessoon]

Looking for inspiration for a name which goes well with India and Rafferty? Don’t know what we are having. Quite like Bodhi for a boy but nothing really shouting out to us in the way of girls names. Georgia maybe possibly?!

I had a cat called Tabitha.

This thread has to be a wind up surely 🤦‍♀️

Stella I love as as @HelloDulling said.

Georgette

Beau

Tatum

Tristan

Rex

I think Tallulah really goes with your other names, as does Cosmo

Op I love India and Rafferty - I would I suppose, I have a 14 year old Jago who loves his name! He has a best friend named Jonty and a close friend named Primrose?

Also love Bohdi and Beau.

People are always so rude on these threads.

Love Bodhi! What about
Cole
Kit
Kaleb
Tate

I find girls names harder so no clue

Sorry, Bodhi!

I love Tabitha - nn Tabby.

India & Rafferty are lovely. Names I think might go are:

Valentine
Romeo
Torin
Sebastian
Casper

Natalia
Rosa
Lilia
Matilda (Matty or Tilly)
Nancy

Hooray for Tabitha! I think that's the perfect name match for your siblings (whose names I love too - apologies for my Bodhi joke, it is just a name I have really strong negative feelings about, partly because it is very "white people do Buddhism/but only the bits they find white enough" kind of name, and has a "surfer dude" vibe that, to me at least, doesn't seem to match with your lovely other names.

Cosima is another suggestion.
(No-one liked my baby boy's name, I should add. I went with it anyway, and now people can't imagine him as anything else).

Oh Romy is nice too. My daughter has suggested Roxy and Lexi. I quite like Anaya but doesn’t really flow with the other two.

So rude! Tabitha doesn’t strike me as a very catty name.

What colour are Chinese Buddhists? 🤔

Man bun and surfer dude are spot on but so what?

So rude! Tabitha doesn’t strike me as a very catty name

Really? It suited her perfectly

Bodhi is a lovely fit. Violet for a girl would go well too

@TatianaBis, not to derail the thread but the racial categorization of Chinese people is a complex question (See Michael Keevak's "Becoming Yellow: A Short History of Racial Thinking" (Princeton, 2011).
However, to clarify, what I meant was Euro-Americans who know very little about Buddhism (and have man buns).

People are always so rude on these threads

Not as rude as the kids will be at school if some of these ridiculous names are used 🙄

Keevak pointed out that Chinese were referred to as white by Europeans until Europeans decided they were yellow at the point they resisted cultural imprint of the west. (In the 18c)

There speaks a non-Londoner.

True dat 😆

Tallulah and india both finish with an “ah” sound which I wouldn’t like but appreciate some people would be fine with.

I think Juno would go well with the selection, and Saffron (Saffie is cute) and I love Delilah.

I know someone with your two names. They also have a Tabitha (Tabi) and a Skylar. Good luck with the new one x

I live in Yorkshire and know plenty of kids with dames mentioned on this thread (or similar) and afaik none of them have been teased about their names. Except possibly one, whose name was fine when she was born but gained extra connotations a few years later.

Kids will always find something to bully other kids about. We don’t want to change our kids to suit the bullies but rather educate them about these kind of people.
