Baby girl names - still stuck!

[Esmee89]

My husband and I have been going back and forth on names. We have less than 2 weeks to go and I still don't feel like we've found 'the one'. Wanted to put this out there to see if anyone has any good ideas we've not considered!

Our last name is 3 syllables beginning with a 'W' so steering away from the longer names, and no W names either! I already have a daughter whose name starts with an 'R' so don't want an R name either! It doesn't have to be overly unusual or rare but I'm trying to pick outside the current top 50 popular girl names.

Middle name will be Olivia or Olive.

Names we've liked/considered (and not necessarily ruled out) include:

Hazel
Alyssa
Poppy
Elodie (I love this but husband had veto'd for some reason)
Ivy (both love this but a couple of friends have recently had Ivy's and currently very popular)
Kaya (husband's favourite name but I don't overly love)

Hugely appreciate any opinions on our list or any additional names we may not have considered!

Thanks! x

I'm not sure any of those go up with Olive or Olivia very well, could you go for Olive for the first name?

Also a long three sylable surname here and went for single sylable names which were no messing and easy to spell!

I do love the name Olive but wanted to keep this as a middle name as it's a name linked to a close relative who passed away a few years ago and want her first name to be her own, if that makes sense?

I'm definitely leaning toward the shorter names but haven't found any we really like yet!

What about Mara?

This is beautiful and was in our list for our oldest but it's very very close to my mother in law's name, to the point people would definitely think we've named her after her 😅

Hazel - Halle, Seren, Hollie(y)
Alyssa - Alaina, Etta, Athena
Poppy - Violet, Daphne, Pearl, Flora
Elodie - Bethany, Emily,
Ivy - Ina, Irma, Ida
Kaya - Maya, Noa, Nyla, Nola

Thats my little name association game.

Love Etta and Ida! Nola and Noa are also lovely!

R and sister ...
Kaye Olivia
Lucy Olivia
Grace Olive
Isla Olive

Be careful of what the initials spell if you go for Olive/Olivia as a middle name with a W surname. Avoid C, K, and S in particular.

Zoe?
Fiona?

I think Poppy Olivia sounds lovely.

Thank you! I keep telling my husband this (he likes the name Cassie) but kids are mean I'm not doing that to her 😆

I like Hazel, Ivy and Kaya. Other ideas

Violet
Holly
Daisy
Iris
Maya
Mila
Eloise
Melody
Mabel
Eliza
Daphne
Lilah
Nora
Clara
Cora
Thea

Thank you! A lot of these have been on our list at some point! I especially like Cora but her initials would spell COW which isn't ideal!

Hazel - Hazel Olive Wsurname -How
Alyssa - ok, but will get misspelt probably as Alicia. Melissa is nice
Poppy - I like it but many don't. It is very popular though. prefer Polly
Elodie (I love this but husband had veto'd for some reason) - I can see the appeal but it sounds a bit meh and blends into all the other Ellie names
Ivy (both love this but a couple of friends have recently had Ivy's and currently very popular) - don't like it and it blends into all the other Evie/Eva/Ava type names
Kaya (husband's favourite name but I don't overly love) is it Kay-ah or Kigh-a? Not keen + KOW

Etta Olive? Yep, I could eat a bowl of them

Bridget Olive W
Lucille Olive W
Nina Olive W
Zara Olive W
Kate Olive W
Paige Olive W
Georgia Olive W
Ashlee Olive W

Glad you love Ida. I actually know an Olive Ida! It's one of my favourite names. So underused but simple, pretty and strong.

Thank you - agree about Kaya and I hadn't even thought about K names being KOW! And yes someone else also suggested Etta I really like that!

Paige was nearly the name of our oldest! I actually quite like how it sounds with Olive!

Farrah.
