Baby name help!

[GeorgiaJ92]

Hi all!

My OH and I can't seem to settle on a little girl's name. We have a ton we like but are totally open to new suggestions.

Our front-runner was Ivy, however a friend recently said it's getting extremely popular with 5 in her nursery class alone. This puts us off.

Our other top names are:

Marlie
Oaklie
Haven
Noa

Do you have any other similar suggestions? Or maybe a unique name you haven't heard much!

TIA x

Noa and Mahlah are two cool Old Testament sisters, I love the name Noa for this reason, and Mahlah is close to Marlie (and far less used). I don't like Oaklie or Haven.

Judging by your taste, I'd recommend:
Alba
Liv
Alma
Seren
Nova
Juno
Iris
Juniper
Lumi
Clover
Fern

Rowan
Briony / Bryony
Briar
Fern / Fearne
Aster
Holly
Laurel
Azalea
Autumn
Ember
Kezia
Cassia
Honor
Joni
Joelle
Jolie
Noelie
Haylie
Zoe
Hero
Juno
Ezri
Noemie
Norah
Leonie
Molly
Runa
Farrah
Talia

I would go with Ivy.

Noa is lovely.

Ivy is lovely. I know one aged 3. How about Iris or Iona?

I think Marlie, Oaklie and Haven are all dreadful and sound a bit made up, sorry. Haven reminds me of the holiday parks.

Noa is sweet. How about Nia, Neneh or Nora / Norah?

I think Cleo is lovely. Or Mabli (Welsh Mabel, meaning loveable), Cerys / Carys (Welsh, meaning love)

Meera / Mira?
Hazel?
Sylvie / Sylvia?

I love all your names with Ivy and Noa being my favourites!

Some ideas: Indie, Sage, Wren, Alaska, Ivory, Sky & Winter

I live Marley (spelt like that). I would also suggest Miley.

How about: -

Bryony
Saffron
Fern
Kaye
Faye
Pamela
Paloma
Dulcie
Beatrix
Hope

Good luck finding something you love.

Marnie rather than the made up seeming marlie? Or orla rather than oaklie (sorry I hate those made up ie spellings!). Noa and Haven are much better though some might be reminded of the caravan parks with Haven!

• love, obviously not live.

Love Iris or Iona as alternatives.

Marlie is nice how about Marnie
Jemima
Clementine
Delilah
Willa
Verity
Laurel

Mavie xx

Olive…trendy but not too common!

Nola?

Some lovely suggestions on here. I love nature names, so especially love Fern and Olive.

How about Hazel, Autumn or Willow?

I like Noa on your list. Very cool.

There is also Nia which is Welsh, I think. I knew a gorgeous Welsh Nia.

I prefer Marnie to Marlie as well.

Noa - I would think it was Noah and a boy (sorry)
Haven - Haven holiday parks (sorry)
Oaklie - sounds like a boys name to me (sorry)

Suggestions:
Esme
Bette
Maisie
Rosa
Verity
Rowena
Kitty
Merle

I only like Noa from your list.

I can imagine the pervy comments that could be directed at someone called Haven.

Other suggestions:
Morgan
Hadley
Romy
Mirren
Josie
Mallory
Carly

Thank you all for your beautiful suggestions! Definitely given us some names to think about! x
