Need help with girls name for sister Isla

66 replies

emmatake2 · 13/05/2022 09:26

We are expecting our second baby and struggling to come up with girls names we like as much as we liked Isla. We have a definite boys name but can't find a girls one we love. I'm not keen on long names as we have a long surname and won't choose something that can have a lot of nicknames.

Here are some names we like but feel like they could be beaten:

Lucy
Hannah
Freya
Holly
Amy
Rosie
Keira

Any suggestions?

I've always loved the name Aoife (eefa) but I appreciate it's not for everyone as she will have to spell her name a lot…

I think Isla and Freya are about the most perfectly matched names ever.

I came to post Freya and I see you have it on your list. Use it Grin

Love Isla.
My first thought was Ava or Olivia. I know they're popular, but I think they're lovely names.
Love pps suggestion of Alma.

If I’d had a girl I’d have been tempted with Elspeth.
