Baby girl is here and we’re still deciding between Daphne, Thea or Ada as a first name.

Middle name will likely be Iris.

Let me know your thoughts, thanks!

Daphne is so pretty.

Ada

My fave is Iris. Does it need to be the middle name?

I was thinking that too @ColourByNumbers88. I don't like Thea or Ada at all but Iris is nice.

what did you go for? out of interest, as Thea and Ada are on my list of girl names 🥹

I have an irrational dislike for Daphne (can’t unhear Daffy/Daft) so can’t go for that, sorry 🤣.

Ada is very retro/feminist cool (Lovelace) but when combined with Iris as well it does have a strong old-fashioned Victoriana kind of vibe if that matters. Where as Thea somehow sounds much more modern to me. I prefer Ada, but that’s personal taste and I think either work well.

ETA: ZOMBIE! Sorry, didn’t check.
