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 🤣

Beaver

Ember

Tabitha nn Tabby

Dorothea

I was going to suggest Xanthe too

Anna
Briar
Delia
Enid
Faye
Gaia
Ida
Juno
Mya
Nina
Nell
Orla
Stella
Sienna
Tess
Una
Willa

Raffy, Raff, Raphael are ubiquitous at the moment (we have 3 out of 25 all under 2-4) so unless she wants the same name as a ton of boys then I wouldn't.

Dinah
Cleo
Mia
Phoebe
Ramona

I really like Thea and don’t think it matters at all about rhyming with her cousin’s name.

I also love pp’s suggestion of Cleo - that’s got a similar feisty feel to me.

Other ideas

Lyra
Mila
Noa
Kaia
Hebe
Quinn
Marnie
Esme
Lena
Mara
Dana
Lila
Nala
Mali
Iona
Seren

Beaver may well be a sister for Balonze 👌🏻

I'm voting for Thea ❤️

Theda

Juno

Thalia
esme
matilda
daphne
rhea
thora
stella
nora
orla
maeve
mia
clara
eva

I work with an Althea funnily enough

Agnes
Bertha

Both strong names and rather lovely..

Ooh that’s interesting. Didn’t think people would do that but funnily enough my friend who is Irish suggested Fia

Ah also on my list

Pmsl at this!! How did autocorrect get from niamh to beaver 😂😂😂

I know a 13 y o girl Theo, Theodora but always Theo. Great name
Or Leona or Leonie

Raphaelle is a great name.

Carey
Zeta
Adele
Cleo

Athena
Leda
Dynah
Vera
Vita
Lana
Lara
Katya
Thaddea
Thecla (pronounced TEK-lah)

I love Thea. How about these strong simple names?

Aphra
Selma
Petra
Sena
Juno
Selby
Sylvie
Ember
Edie
Della
Leni

Athena?

Anathea / Annathea / Enathea

Unless the Leah is one of your DC or lives in your household it seems a non issue to use Thea, a name that rhymes.
