Verity - great
Naomi - lovely
Celina - lovely but easier spelt with an S

Anna - elegant, classic but a bit overused
Ruby - sweet but a bit overused

Kiera -ok
liberty - dated, bit naff

Melody - no because she’ll be called Mel

Contessa - you can’t be serious? It’s not a name, it’s the Italian world for Countess. It’s like calling your son Earl - it’s ridiculous. if you just like the sound go for something like Cassia or Cassandra, but don’t land your daughter with a joke name.

Contessa? That's not a name surely? Definitely not that one.

Ruby and Naomi are both nice names!

Kiera and Ruby are on our list.

I'd pick Ruby.

I also like Kiera, Melody, Celina, Verity.

I find Anna very bland.

I dislike Contessa it sounds like a brand. It would be a really bad choice, in my opinion, sorry!

Naomi is okay, Liberty is too much.

I only really like Anna
Naomi would work with Gillian
And
Celine as opposed to Celina

Melody - nice, but a bit sing songy with Gillian
Celina - nice, works with Gillian
Verity - always makes me think 'ferrety' so No
Kiera - nice, works with Gillian
Ruby - a bit barmaid
Contessa - means 'countess', also lingerie shop, doesn't go with Gillian at all, big no.
Naomi - nice, but a bit Old Testament beside Gillian, doesn't work well imo
Anna - nice, works well with Gillian
Liberty - too sing songy with Gillian

Suggestions:
Tessa Gillian
Miranda Gillian
Emily Gillian
Carly Gillian
Chloe Gillian
Isla Gillian

I love Kiera, reminds me of a girl running in a meadow of wild flowers.

Melody is a beautiful name and very unique!

KirstenBlest · 14/10/2022 10:02

@peanutbutterontoast7 , things can't be very unique. There were 158 babies registered as Melody in England & Wales last year.

@KirstenBlest ermmm ok 🙄
