Baby name shortlist...

[AllTheNaps]

Baby no3 is due shortly and we're really struggling to agree on a name. We used our names we'd always had picked out with DD and DS. Opinions on the below and/or other similar suggestions welcome. We're quite short on boys names we both like 🫣

Boys:
Rowan
Rafe (DH not as keen)

Girls:
Thea
Neve
Eden (I'm not as keen as DH)
Ocie
Alessia

Boys:
Rowan - this was on our shortlist. Lovely name. I know 3, all boys (well one a man) - I know alot of people say its a girls name now, but that's not my experience

Rafe (DH not as keen) - I want to like it but I can't get past it autocorrecting to Rape. I know a Raffi which is similar.

I will also suggest Elias, Jude, Patrick and Tobias

Girls:
Thea - nice but in my area it gets pronounxed Fear. I like as a shortening for Dorothea

Neve - i like, but hate this spelling. Niamh is such a lovely spelling

Eden (I'm not as keen as DH) - it feels a bit faddy to me

Ocie - not a fan but will suggest Effie as a similar style name

Alessia - overly fussy, prefer the simplicity of Alyssa

Ocie as in The OC?

I like most of your names. Know squillions of Rowans if that bothers you!

I like Rafe and Neve

What about Finn or Evelyn

I'm fond of Rowan + Eden!

Rowan and Alessia, although I do like nearly all your girl names. Ocie is the only one I don't like although not entirely sure how it is pronounced (is it said like The OC?).

If popularity is a concern whatever then beware that Rowan is trendy and also super similar to fastest rising boy name Roman which is in top 20 and still rising @AllTheNaps
