Baby girl came early- names!?

[newmum1508]

My girl came 6 weeks early just 4 days ago and is currently in NICU at the moment. She had some breathing problems but is getting a lot stronger.
We hadn’t decide on a name!
I’m native American by heritage and was adopted to the UK as a child, so I wanted something to reflect that part of our heritage. My biological family I know had ties with the symbol of a wolf in their Seneca tribe, so we’ve decided on Tala as her middle name (wolf in Native American).

We thought we had another month and a bit to decide on first names but not any more!

I love Elowen (my husband is Cornish so it also fits that way).
I also like-
Willow
Etta
Sorrel (but I’m not sure if it’s too uncommon)

Our surname is Smith and her middle name is short too, so now I’m leaning towards 3 or more syllable first names, but I’m just not totally set on any!

Ive taken a lot of names off my list as I don’t think they fit with “ Tala Smith”. The only one that flows to me at the moment is Elowen.

Any suggestions I’d love 💕! I’m very into name meanings and quite like vintage names

Sennen Smith? Sennen Cove and Seneca connotations.

Of your choices I like Elowen.

Elowen Sorrel. They fit together, somehow. Congratulations!

Congratulations on the birth of your wee one.

Elowen Talla Smith is a beautiful name.

A close contender may be Rowan (given time of year), but don't think it's better than your first option.

Elowen Genessee
Elowen Susquehanna
Elowen Juniata

All three are rivers in the old lands of the Iroquois Federation, of which the Seneca were members, and are derived from Seneca/ Iroquois names.

Elowen Tala is gorgeous and I love the nod to both yours and your husband heritage.

Love Sorrell Smith ❤️

Congratulations. Hope she is able to come home soon.

Thanks everyone! We’ve finally decided and gone with Elowen Tala. I like how it’s a nod to both sides of her heritage and I’ve loved Elowen since reading the name in a book when I was a little girl! Thanks for all the suggestions ❤️

I love the name Elowen. My friend's daughter is called the same but spelt Elowyn. Elowyn Tala Smith sounds good to me.

That’s so beautiful 😍 Congratulations 🤩
