Sibling for India and Rafferty

259 replies

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?!

Well you are a lovely person aren’t you?! Did you not learn manners?

This is funny because I know 2 very working class families in my area of the Midlands (the sticks) with babies called Bodhi. Bizarrely one male and one female!

I'm very surprised by this. Never heard of it in life and I'm in a cosmopolitan city (not London). How strange.

We don’t want to change our kids to suit the bullies but rather educate them about these kind of people.

Well said.

Georgie instead of Georgie for the state thing maybe

I’m in South Wales and could walk out of my front door and knock on the door of an Athena, an Evangeline, a Georgiana, a Blythe and a Rex. I love an unusual name.

"Under the Bodhi Tree"

I know a few Bodhis. One is about 50 so it was a shchok choice in 1971 but now it wouldnt surprise me at all

What about Caledonia?

I like it!

HelenHywater · 12/08/2021 07:07

Dylan and Jude have the same vibe as Rafferty I think.. Gabriel?

Iris, Clem(entine), Bea(trice), and Selina?

Jemima.

No ideas for boys though!

Goodness, the rudeness on this thread is shocking! This isn’t the 1950s, I personally love that there are now so many beautiful names that are being used. Perhaps the bullies who pick on children for their names are the offspring of some of the posters on here.

I love Georgia. I think Tabitha is lovely. I wentbto college with a girl called Tabitha ( over 30 years ago now), and I thought it was so cool in a sea of boring names.
I love Quinn. For either.
Martha, Clementine. Margot ?
I like Beau but I think I prefer a longer name. I don't like Bodhi but understand its appeal.

Bodhi fits perfectly with India and Rafferty and I can imagine the three of them causing mischief on the beach (lack of sleep?) any way the other 2 names that have stood out from previous posters to me are: Nova and Delilah which I think will fit perfectly. I also love Georgia (or any other George-esq names) and I think if you like it go for it.

@DillonPanthersTexas

Do you all have kids at hogwarts?

Yes I was thinking that too

Why do people make such daft suggestions kids have to live with these names

3babessoon · 12/08/2021 08:35

Thank you, I also really like Maddie but not sure about Madeline or Maddison.

They will be in keeping with names of the time. Names like Emma, Sarah, Vicky were very popular in the 80s but imagine calling kids similar names now.
