Baby Girl name inspiration - Mia/Freya/Niamh

[Gelpennen]

I’m finding it impossible (with 5 weeks to go..) to think of girls names I really like. Not keen on anything too classic but equally nothing too out there…

names I do quite like:

Mia
Freya
Niamh
Lily

Please let me know what you think or any other suggestions ☺️

Niamh will only work if you’re in Ireland.

Freyja is lovely.

Niamh all the way - regardless of where you are!

Niamh or Freya - both lovely, would make lovely siblings actually!

Niamh has been in the top 200 names in England and Wales for 20 years, and was top 100 for a while - definitely fine.

Mia - overused, lots of similar names like Maya, Mya, Maia, May, Mila. Sounds like Mere
Freya - don't see the appeal. Fray-uh. Overused
Niamh - hardly anyone says it as Nee-uv, Eve type names too popular
Lily - nice but very popular. Overused

Suggestions:
Mary, Maria
Frida, Fritha
Nia
Susanna

Er...no it won't.

I really like Niamh and Freya. Mia and Lily are ok too.
Leah
Leila / Layla
Chloe
Remi
Zoe
Sadie
Orla

Hally. Or Hallie. It's a strong sounding name.

I love Niamh!

Anya
Heidi
Vera
Jenna
Maisie
Mabel
Heather
Gemma
Iris

Mia/Freya/Lily so overused. Especially as always paired with Rose/May/Grace.

Niamh is ok.

I have a Niamh Rose. I love it

Freya and Lily. Mia is nice but very very popular. She will would spend the rest of her life spelling out Niamh.

Please only use Niamh if you're going to give it the proper pronunciation. There is one in my distant family pronounced Nee-am and it makes me cringe every time I hear it!

I think honestly they are all massively overdone, other than Niamh, but then that also sounds just like the massively overdone Eve, so..

Maybe

Stella
Oona
Ida
Tara
Maria
Marina
Lois
Carys
Inez
Zoe
Amy
Carey
Jasmine
Caitlin
Jocelyn
Aislinn

Niamh!

Mila
fiadh
maeve
phoebe
erin
ella
thea
ellie
molly
millie
ava
evie
olivia
alice
tilly

nora

Thank you!

I think Mia and Niamh are my favourites but worried about Mia being too popular and we’re not Irish or living in Ireland so that might rule out Niamh…

what about Keira?

Marnie
Tess
Nell
Connie
Sienna

I think Niamh is well known enough that it’s not an issue outside Ireland. ----

I don't much like Keira. I don't particularly like the sound or spelling. Ciara looks pretty. Too many different spellings - Keira Kiera, Kira, Ciara.

Freya is my favourite from you list.

Alternatives:
Marnie
Josie
Betsy
Tara
Tansy
Meredith
Millie
Penelope
Phoebe

Use Mia as nn for Emilia, Amelia, Emily, Maria, Wilhelmina, etc

My favourite from your list is Freya.

Niamh had a big boom around 5-6 years ago there seemed to be most girls named Niamh or a various spelling of it so I think it could seem dated.

Mia and Lily are both very pretty.

Dont like Kiera at all

Lily and Freya are definitely classic!

Suggestions:

I love Lily and Mia is pretty too. I’m personally not keen on Freya or Niamh, but there’s nothing wrong with them.
