Really struggling with a girl’s name - Mia, Ella or something else 💜

[8weekscrossed]

We have 2 boys, very traditional names (Oliver and Joshua). We are having a girl but really struggling with a name.

It has to go with the boys names that are quite traditional. I liked Alice but my DH doesn’t like it.

We both think Mia and Ella are nice, but I’m just not sure they are ‘nice’ enough!

There are so many lovely girl names out there but we are really struggling! Any help appreciated.

How about Ellis - similar to Alice.

Or Elise is a pretty name

So many Mia’s and Ella’s around
I know 2 Mia and 3 Ella’s
haven’t meet an Alicia pretty name !

Elise is a really good suggestion - a bit like a melange of Alice and Ella

Anna
Cleo
Rosa

I met a little Lucia recently (Lucy-a) and thought it was so cute and pretty

I think that's Italian - Loo-chee-a
A bit odd as Lucy-a

There are 5 Mias and a few Mayas in my DDs year, it’s super common if that bothers you.

Oh one of the other mums had mentioned she thought it was Loo Chee a , (but Lucy-a was my first time hearing it at all so that one makes more sense to me lol)

Alicia?

Freya is my favourite from your shortlist

Elouise?

Claudia? Olivia?

Paige is a very American name, nothing like your other two. I would say Alice is perfect, but failing that, maybe DH likes 'P' names:

Phoebe
Patricia (Patsy)
Pandora
Penelope
Poppy
Priscilla

Penelope would be Penny

@Firsttimebabymummy , it's Eloise not Elouise.

@northernsouldownsouth , it can be Lootch-ee-a, Loos-ee-a, Lucy-a or Loosha. I work with a Spanish-speaking one and she's Lucy-a.
