Sorry I know I've posted about names a few times, husband and I still are still struggling to find the one!

Which of these do you like?

And any other similar suggestions??? (We like names that are a bit more unusual, we want her to stand to out and not have the same name as others in school)

Her big sisters name is Dakota😊

Zadie
Tegan / Teigan
Kendall
Kennedy
Azalea / Azalia
Shelbie / Shelby
Peyton
Paisley
Brinkley
Oakleigh
Waverley
Harlyn
Casey
Bellamy
Goldie
Honey

Also people don’t stand out based on their names. How many famous actors are there called Tom? None of them need to be called Zippie Calora to be famous - they’re famous because they’re handsome/charismatic/talented etc. Your child will stand out to her friends and loved ones because she’s Kendall with the big personality or Zadie who you can always talk to about your problems or Tegan who is amazing at maths and will probably go on to be a stem whiz. And whether she’s got a one of a kind name that you invented or she’s called Lily she will still stand out for those reasons.

For me I’d rather my kids stood out for those reasons than being called a name like Honey.

I like Honey and don't mind Zadie but prefer Sadie. Not keen on any others, sorry.

ColdShouldersWarmTummy · 07/01/2022 07:50

Zadie is really nice Smile

Synchrony · 07/01/2022 07:53

I'd choose Goldie from your list.
I don't mind Zadie or Azalea.
Not keen on the others but I do think Kendall and Oakleigh go well with Dakota.
Loathe Kennedy. It just makes me think of JFK or kidneys, not a little girl.

EdgeOfACoin · 07/01/2022 10:00

Tegan or Azalea.

Flutterflybutterby · 07/01/2022 10:04

Zadie, Honey, Waverley. Everley?

BlueFlavour · 07/01/2022 10:06

I like Honey.
What about Savannah?

ISmellBurnings · 07/01/2022 11:49

Goldie and Honey are names for golden retrievers.

Teigan, Shelby and Payton I like.

HacerSonarSusPasos · 07/01/2022 12:14

Zadie - great!
Tegan / Teigan - nope
Kendall - nope
Kennedy - nope
Azalea / Azalia - ok
Shelbie / Shelby - ok with the y ending
Peyton - ok
Paisley - too much like parsley
Brinkley - NO!
Oakleigh - NO! vapid and american
Waverley - NO! ame as above
Harlyn - NO! sounds made-up
Casey - ok
Bellamy - ok
Goldie - NO! Grandma or stripper
Honey - NOOO! Stripper all around

Mumofgirls2017 · 07/01/2022 12:22

I like Honey, Tegan and Zadie

saywhatwhatnow · 07/01/2022 13:57

Goldie or Honey. Don't really like any of the others.

emmathedilemma · 07/01/2022 15:25

Zadie or Casey are the only ones I'd even consider from that list.
No one who's ever been to Paisley would ever name a child after it and did you know Waverley is the main railway station in Edinburgh?

user1493494961 · 07/01/2022 15:39

I think Zadie is the only useable one.

Firesidefox · 07/01/2022 15:42

All terrible names that will blight the poor child, IMO.

But you do you. I'm sure you'd hate my children's names and that's how life is!

Crankley · 07/01/2022 17:32

Desperately try hard, don't really like any of them and some of them are completely ridiculous.

MoominMeggy · 07/01/2022 17:35

Zadie is nice. Azalea is ok-ish. I really dislike the others and am finding it hard to suggest alternatives, as I think our tastes are quite different. Robyn?

Tal45 · 07/01/2022 17:43

The all sound very American soap to me - although I guess that makes sense when you've already got a Dakota. Goldie and Honey are dog names surely? Zadie and Tegan are best but I prefer Sadie over Zadie

SilverPolarBear · 07/01/2022 17:47

Zadie is really cool as PP said.

To be honest I am not keen on any of the others. They come across a bit made up.

LavenderRosemary · 07/01/2022 18:03

I love Zadie!

TenThousandSpoons · 07/01/2022 18:05

Zadie is lovely. Or how about Sadie?

JenniferAlisonPhilippaSue · 07/01/2022 19:28

Love Zadie and Honey is also cute. My favourite is probably Azalia - it sounds super trendy but is actually traditional Hebrew.

Thehighlandcoo · 07/01/2022 19:31

Sadie from your list! What about:

Everly
Elodie
Ottilie

Thehighlandcoo · 07/01/2022 19:32

@Thehighlandcoo

Sadie from your list! What about:

Everly
Elodie
Ottilie

Sorry, autocorrect! Obviously I mean Zadie!
Buzzer3555 · 07/01/2022 19:38

Honey and Goldie sounds like a dogs name (or a goldfish) they all sound a bit try hard.

Buzzer3555 · 07/01/2022 19:40

@kanola i agree
