Looking for something like Thea

[RoseApp]

Can’t seem to find just the right name. Have kept coming back to Thea (Thee-a) but DH worries it might be too close to Leah and there is one in the family:

love Raphaelle as it’s a favourite Tav character- feisty etc so positive connotations but wonder might not work in UK.

Trying to think of strong, simple, feisty names (yes I know Raphaelle isn’t 🤣

Thora
Freya
Luna
Talia
Claudia
Noa
Zara

I actually don't think Thea and Leah is a problem unless they are sisters. Thea is a lovely name!

A few suggestions for you:

Thalia (tar- lee- a)
Mabel
Persephone
Serephina
Seren
Marley
Olive
Roxie
Ruby
Taylor
Taya
Orla
Marnie
Francesca/ Frankie
Bethany
Georgia
Lucia
Freya

Also love Raphaelle and really think would work just fine in the UK!
feel free to let me know which on my list you like/ don’t like and I can find some more x

Etta
Alma
Anna

Carla
Dora
Nadine
Stella

Ophelia

Cora
Lara
Tilda
Tilly
Beaver

Beaver is a typo...Niamh

Beaver would be a bold choice!

I think Thea is fine, even with a Leah, unless sisters.

My vote is for Beaver 🦫

Eva

Aurelia
Imogen

Leona
Leoni
Ria
Anya
Naomi

Thank you. I have a Frankie so you are definitely on the right track names wise.

in the show the character’s name is shortened to Raph quite often which I think is great

How about Althea?

Pronounced ‘Al’ ‘thee’ ‘ah’

I know a Thalia who pronounced it with the “th” sound (Greek background, though I know it’s not the usual pronunciation) and I’ve always loved that

defo go with Beaver 🤣
My serious suggestions are:
Rae
Arlo
Skye
Etta
Joni
Edie
Thea is an awesome name (I may be biased there!) the only issue we get if when people pronounce the TH like an F 😬

Rachel
Tia
Kia
Rhiannon
Tessa
Theresa
Terri
Talia
Isla
Tara
Tania
Tabitha
Reagan
Teagan
Tianna
Tamsin
Tula
Tamara
Tiani
Fay

Althea is a good suggestion.

I think Eliza is strong, simple and feisty but I am biased 😊

Amber
Elise
Mary
Cora
Nora
Olive
Ruth
Rachel
Saskia
Beaver

How about Raphaella/Raffaella?

personally I think Thea is fine as long as Leah isn’t their sibling.

Xanthe

I went to school with a female Raphaelle who went by Raf and it worked absolutely fine.

In the Home Counties I should add

Beth
Zena
Tessa
Esme
Eliza
Tori

Not keen on beaver myself

If you want feisty, consider Maeve. Just remember to buckle up 😆
