Help on baby names!

[mumtobe44]

Hi!
Could you please help us narrow down our list and/or give names that you think fit with our style.

Our list so far:
Clara
Emmy (thinking maybe Emory/Emery as a longer name but not 100%)
Stella
Daisy
Wren
Violet
The problem we seem to have with girls is that I really like names like daisy but think it will be too babyish when older - any names like this that aren’t babyish would be great.

For boys we’re pretty set on Nathanial (Nate) or Miles but welcome suggestions

Also, any middle names that fit with this but are quite unique/unusual or have nice meaning would be great

Thanks so much for any help!

I think you might like Alora - it means beautiful dream.

Elora and Enora are also pretty.

of your list I love Clara, I find it so elegant and I also like Wren. Not keen on Stella at all it just seems rough to me because of the cheap lager.
If you like the meaning of Stella what about Estelle, Celeste, Nova or Danica.

as for boys Nathaniel is great - you might also like Jensen, Zachary and Stanley.

Emmy - not Emory/Emery - both are awful. Emily is much nicer

...names like daisy but think it will be too babyish when older...
We have MPs with names like Daisy and Rosie. The names aren't babyish, and there are plenty of 20-somethings with names like Ellie and Evie or Alfie and Freddie, and lots of young children have names like Teddy and Bear.

Nathanial (Nate) or Miles but welcome suggestions
Please spell it Nathaniel, otherwise pick the one that goes best with the surname

Love your list esp Daisy wren and Clara!

Emmy could be short for Emmeline? Ember? Emilia?

what about Clara Daisy or Wren Daisy?

The problem we seem to have with girls is that I really like names like daisy but think it will be too babyish when older - any names like this that aren’t babyish would be great.

I think Daisy's OK, but it's also a traditional diminutive/nickname (probably rarely used now) for Margaret and similar names (from the French Marguerite), so you could go with Margaret or Margot or similar as the "official" name.

Others that are somewhat similar but perhaps less "cutesy":
Briony
Chloe
Dahlia
Daphne
Heidi
Holly
Laurel
Lily
Linnea
Lucy
Phoebe
Robin
Rosalie
Rowan
Sylvie
Zoe

Stella - great - very sparky
Clara - very pretty, quite popular though - Cassia instead? Cassie is a nice nn
Violet - nice but very popular - Jasmine or Juliet instead?
Emmy - nice nn but Emory isn't great - Emerald, Emma, or Emmeline?
Daisy - cute, but I agree it's too wet as a full name - traditionally it was a nn for Margaret, so you could have Marguerite nn Daisy if you wanted options
Wren - also wet and very faddy

Robin
Flora
Ida
Ffion
Thora
Oona
Zoe
Carey
Ines
Verity
Jessamy
Fenella nn Fen
Philippa nn Pippa
Frances

Nathanial (Nate) and Miles are both great - although both popular also..

Patrick
Laurence
Ernest
Jerome
Nicholas
Alistair

Might be others

I think family names or names that have meaning to you are best as middle names if possible

Emily is much nicer, or Emma.
Violet nice.
Not keen on the rest.
Prefer Nathaniel to Miles.
