Thoughts on these girls names please?

[Prawncocktail24]

I'm expecting a baby girl and we're struggling to think of names. So far we've come up with Thea or Bethany. We're not discussing name ideas with friends or family so thought I'd ask for some anonymous opinions on here, or any suggestions for similar names are welcome. Thanks ❤️

Thea is lovely

Elizabeth nn Beth
Thalia
Cleo
Cecily
Penelope
Xanthe
Theodora nn Theo

Both nice. I prefer Thea
On my list I had
Theadora and Dorathea for the nn Thea.

Bethany is nice too so long as you like Beth.

Bryony
Bronwen
Romy
Fenella

Thea is a beautiful name.

Reva
Vivienne
Octavia

Jessamy
melissa
eleanor
philyda
rosalind

i think both of those are lovely OP., probably slight preference for Thea

Thea and Bethany are both lovely. I’ve always had a soft spot for Beth - it’s a lovely, simple classic, and I’m surprised it’s so underused at the moment, so Bethany nn Beth would be my choice.

Both of these are simple and lovely classics. I wondered about Martha, but I'm not sure it has quite the same charm. Tessa?

Thanks for all the suggestions! I did suggest some of the names above to DH (Eleanor, Martha and Esther) but he vetoed them. Some, we've ruled out because they're family names, or don't go with our surname - such as Caitlin, Tessa, Heather and Amber.

I think we're swaying more towards Thea. But I can't decide if Bethany works as a middle name for Thea...

I actually love both of those. Also Bethan, Eloise/Elodie

Thea is so so so pretty, I love it. Not a huge fan on Bethany to be honest. Thea Bethany doesn't sound bad to me at all but I think a different name might work better

Thea Bethany sounds fine

Nobody ever really says the middle name anyway.

I don't like Thea or Bethany. Thea seems too much like the overused Theo and Bethany seems dated. Athena, Anthea, Xanthe, Elizabeth or Dorothy might be ones you could consider,

I really like Thea Bethany 🥰

Like Thea, Bethany is a bit dated. How about

meredith
martha
tabitha
esther
mia
grace
sophia
eva
dorothy
leah
edith
freya
phoebe

Thea and Bethany are both lovely names.

And I think Thea Bethany Lastname sounds good!
