Girl names

[Buttercup2023]

Due baby girl soon.. the list changes regularly but think this is the top so far:

Lana
Poppy
Leila
Maeva
Una

Middle name will be Joy.

Any other suggestions for similar names (I clearly have a preference for an 'a' ending), or any thoughts on the above?

Ava, Evie, Lily, Lucy all nice names. There is a fab baby name app I found really useful

Lana - a bit woolly.
Poppy - like
Leila - ok but there are lots of Lilys and Lilas/Lylas
Maeva - don't like it
Una - nice but might get Ewe-na not Oona, but quitee pretty

Joy's a bit of a 'one-syllable filler middle name' and might not suit everyone but it's ok

I love Lana, Una & Maeva 💓

I like Poppy and Leila from your list, not keen on the others, sorry.

Poppy is the best! Maeva is very Made in Chelsea (coming from someone who absolutely loves Maeve as a name).

Like them all! Una is my favourite. Joy is a lovely middle name too.

I like the name Lana but the backwards spelling of it puts me off! Poppy and Maeva are my favourites from your list, I also love the name Cara which has a similar sort of sound.

Thank you everyone! Similar thoughts to me, I keep going back and forth with all of them!

Joy is definitely the middle name as it is after a family member.

I also love the name Maeve but our surname is just one syllable, so I thought Maeva makes the full name flow nicer than 3 single syllable names which feels a bit blunt.

Lana is my favourite thought I'm not able to unsee the backwards spelling now PP pointed it out! Second favourite would be Una. I don't really get Poppy at all, and Leila as too many variations out there.

*though, not thought!

My favourite is Leila but I'd spell it Layla.

I like Maeva best. Other suggestions.

Lola
Lilah
Lena
Lyra
Ayla
Isla
Elva
Orla
Millie
Molly
Polly
Cora
Lucia
Lara
Clara
Theia
Bella
Mabel
callie
Connie
Hallie

Lana - It's okay but the backwards spelling would bother me too much
Poppy - I love this, even if it is a bit cutesy
Leila - I wouldn't know how to pronounce it. Layla is nicer if that's how you want it pronounced?
Maeva - Beautiful
Una - Not keen on this at all

Maeva Joy is gorgeous.

I also like Lydia, Delilah and Isla

Maeva Joy ❤️
Una Joy also good but for some reason having One Joy as a name doesn't sit quite right and might cause sibling teasing!

I think Poppy Joy would be lovely!

suggestions based on liking a endings though:

Nora
Calla
Cora
Clara
Saskia
Sasha
Lena
Elena
Sara
Zara
Freya

Poppy Joy sounds a bit like it could be slang for opiates

I love Oona, but I would spell it Oona/gh or you will get Yew-nuh

Stella
Aphra
Lois
Thora
Ida
Aster
Astra
Tara
Zoe
might be others

Lana - ok but too many Lena/Lara/Lola/Luna/Lyra names
Poppy - bit wet and with Joy it does sound like a porn name, or a drug
Leila - see Lana
Maeva - it’s OK
Una - love it

Joy is adorable..

Lena Joy - Lay-nuh. I would spell like this. 9/10
Lila Joy - 9/10
Una Joy - 9/19 Una is pronounced Ewe-nuh
Leila Joy - 10/10 - Lay-luh

Matilda Joy
Cassia Joy
Sarah Joy
Scarlett Joy
Xanthe Joy
Anna Joy
Sibyl Joy

I love Joy, would go with it as the first name.

Why Maeva? Sounds silly

Maeve is classier

Unless your surname is Pave then you can have a one syllable first name

Lana is fine

Una is great
Lana no because of Anal
love Joy would you use it as her first name?
