Our beautiful baby girl is 3 weeks old today and she’s booked in to be registered tomorrow afternoon however we have no set name! Throughout pregnancy my OH and I haven’t agreed on any names and he got fed up of talking about it. The shortlist seems to be Ava, Olivia or Charlotte. I’m just not hugely sold on any of them haha! At one point we thought we’d decided on Ava, kids told everyone at school that was her name and then I got cold feet. She has an older sister and brother named Ella and Logan. Any name suggestions would be greatly appreciated! My OH is adamant that it cannot be a flower name but he was willing to consider Rose as a potential middle name. Sorry for rambling!

We can see this thread is quite old now but if you’ve landed here looking for baby naming inspo, our recently updated 1000 top girl names article may offer some ideas. Flowers

Rose is every other girl's middle name.
I don't like Ava at all. Olivia and Charlotte are both lovely.

Ella, Logan and Ava definitely - beautiful choice.

PossiblyNotOne · 20/07/2023 12:00

Ava Rose is one the most overused names there is.

17caterpillars1mouse · 20/07/2023 12:02

Ava is a lovely name and goes really well with Ella and Logan.

I don't think anybody suggestions are going to be suddenly helpful after 9 months and 3 weeks of thinking of names. You have a shortlist, I would just pick which ever feels most her. All are well known, nice names. Enjoy your daughter

VeridicalVagabond · 20/07/2023 12:04

I know four Ava Rose's, and three other Ava's. It's so popular! It is a pretty name but so so overdone.

I actually think Charlotte goes very nicely with your other children's names. Ella, Logan and Charlotte, sounds like a little adventuring gang.

The three other Avas are probably Ava Grace

PossiblyNotOne · 20/07/2023 12:10

Or Ava Mae/May/Mai.

Theoldwoman · 20/07/2023 14:37

I have an Ella and a Charlotte, so Charlotte gets my vote.

Congratulations!

Leaningtowerofpisa · 20/07/2023 21:22

I have a Charlotte and have never regretted it as it’s a classic name. We thought about it for a long time. I didn’t want a name that would have a silly short name. However my grandparents called her Lottie ( which I didn’t mind too much), then ended up with us calling her Charlottie as an affectionate nickname. Again - not so bad.

She is now a teenager and from around year 6 onwards told everyone ( except me) to call her Charlie. They all do - teachers coaches friends but not me. I have to call her Charlotte.

Some friends / teachers call her Charles as a bit of fun/ play on her nickname. She loves it.

I imagine she will return to her full version as she gets older but for now it’s been a beautiful name that everyone has enjoyed!

I did add Rose as the middle name as it was the name of 2 of my best friends. However I think Ruby might have been a nice alternative and is my grandmothers name.

bagforlifeamnesty · 20/07/2023 21:25

I would avoid a name ending in the -ah sound as you already have a girl with that sound as the last syllable. So Ella and Ava are too similar IMO. Less so but same applies for Olivia. I’d go for Charlotte with Ava as a middle name.

HarLace1 · 20/07/2023 21:51

I have a Lacey, middle name Olivia and also have a 3 week old (tomorrow) baby girl that we called Emmie. Her middle name is Stephanie, not crazy about the middle name but I wanted her named after my dad (Stephen) who passed away

MrsZargon · 21/07/2023 20:37

I have an Elizabeth Rose and a Rachel Mia. I also loved the name Penelope (would have been Penny for short).

my Mother in Law once said to me that it doesn’t matter what name you pick for your child because a few weeks later you won’t be able to imagine them as anything else. Good luck choosing!
