Baby girl help!!!

I am expecting a baby girl and we cannot seem to decide on a name. My Partner likes more classic names like Olivia, Sophie, Emma whereas I find they're too popular and much prefer less common names such as Sabrina, Everly and Avalon.

We both agree on Miley, Alice and Madeline and we want a name beginning with J for the middle name. I am set on Juliet but he is adamant on it not being this.

Need help finding a name that is not too out there for him hut also not super common and a middle name. My Partner already has a little girl names Emilia Rose, so something that would go with this.

Madeline Jayne?

Geebray · 28/02/2024 12:27

Alice Julia

MariaVT65 · 28/02/2024 12:30

Well if your partner already has a daughter called Emilia, I wouldn’t name your new baby Emma for a start.

Agree those others are too popular.

Avalon made me think of Savalon the cream or Avon make up. Sorry.

Miley Joanna?

Geebray · 28/02/2024 12:39

I'm sorry but I think Miley is awful. It's not even Miley Cyrus's actual name!

Edited

I actually think that’s an even better reason to use it as a middle name

But middle names are often for honouring relatives. Yours clearly is. Why on earth couldn't you use it?

Onelife2024 · 28/02/2024 13:42

Alice is my favourite ever girls name, so I vote for Alice! I agree with pp that I would use the family middle names - so Alice Jayne or Alice Joanne.
I also really like Madeleine. I’m not keen on Miley.

It is her real name?

LittleLittleRex · 28/02/2024 13:47

I think, when said out loud, Miley and Emilia could be a mouthful, I'd drop Emma as well as it is too close to Emilia.

Madeline is lovely though, and goes well with Joy and June.

Other suggestions:
Amber Josephine
Carys Julia

She legally changed it to Miley. Her actual name was Destiny Cyrus.

I love the name Alice, so that would definitely be my pick!

Agree with others about liking an honour MN, so I would go with Alice Jayne/Joanne.
