After 4 boys....

So I'm actually nervous about posting this as I know how brutal some of you can be but all entitled to an opinion and I need some help lol.

So after 4 boys I'm expecting my 5th and final baby which is a girl (still convinced they are wrong 😂) but I have absolutely no idea on a name for her. The boys names don't really "match" so there's no theme I was to follow or anything. I have a Liam, Tommy, Finley and Reuben.

The girls names I've got written down are:

Harper
Myah
Frankie
Mylie

I appreciate not everyone's taste though.

How lovely for you! I have 3 boys and 1 girl.

I really like Frankie from your list. Also like Myah but it seems an unusual spelling - would you consider Mia?

Forgottenmyphone · 21/10/2024 14:03

I prefer Frankie.

Nicebloomers · 21/10/2024 14:24

How about Francesca nn Frankie.

TheRozzers · 21/10/2024 14:27

Maya or Maia are lovely names and sound exactly the same as Myah but without a lifetime of spelling corrections.

Congratulations!

Romey
Robyn

LostittoBostik · 21/10/2024 14:40

Harper and Frankie are nice

rainbowstardrops · 21/10/2024 14:59

I love Harper. Congratulation!

Congratulations!

I love Maia is looks so pretty. Also like Gaia!

Mylie I've never heard of but sounds so cute like a mix of a little Kylie minogue and Minnie mouse !

Theoldwoman · 21/10/2024 15:05

Harper is my favourite from your list.

Suggestions:

Liam, Tommy, Finley, Reuben and :

Amali
Melia
Dyani
Nina
Ella
Hallie
Georgia
Cora
Ivy

MaltipooMama · 21/10/2024 15:06

We must have similar taste in names because I have one child called Tommy and I love all of your girl choices! Maybe see when she's born if you lean towards one in particular or if she seems to suit one more than the others? Congratulations!

You must've heard of Miley Cyrus?

Shoesshoes87 · 21/10/2024 15:14

I like Frank from your list.

I also think Remi is a nice name.

Andoutcomethewolves · 21/10/2024 15:15

I love Francesca nn Frankie, one of my all time favourites!

Maya or Maia (spelled like that) is nice enough though not really my taste. Not keen on Harper or Mylie.

Lellamir · 21/10/2024 15:19

Why do you feel they don't match?
They're all currently popular names. As are the girl's names, you've posted.
Just go with what feels right.

Moreteaandchocolate · 21/10/2024 15:23

Myah is my favourite of your ideas - so pretty! I agree with pp that Maya or Maia are more commonly used spellings though, if that matters to you?

I’ve never met a Mylie before - it’s got a pretty sound!

Harper has a cool, American vibe - I usually prefer more traditional names but I can see its appeal.

Frankie I prefer as short for Francesca, but it’s nice.

Do you like

Hallie
Riley
Wren
Mila
Mara
Nia
Piper
Remy
Eden
Cleo
Sorrel
Darcey
Aubrey
Harley
Macey
Mali
Ellery
Emery
Lyra
Kaia
Isla

Frankie is rather masculine to me, so would be an odd choice for the only girl.

From your list I would go for Maya, spelt like that. I think Myah and Mylie will get misspelt all the time. Harper is ok.

What about Georgia, Chloe, Naomi, Ciara?

professionaloverthinker · 21/10/2024 15:33

Thank you all. Just to answer some as I can't tag you all lol

There are some lovely suggestions. The spelling Myah my DH came up with and I actually liked it as was unique but I see what you're saying with her name constantly being spelt wrong.

I love Frankie but really not keen on Francesca which is why my Tommy is called that and not Thomas as I liked one and not the other.

I just meant they don't match as is some people like to follow the same first letter or the same end sound of a name whereas mine don't have that.

There have definitely been some names mentioned that I absolutely love but DH hates 😂

Please no more Mia, Maya, Mia, Myah's... too many and too confusing!
Same with Leah, Laya, Lila...

tolerable · 21/10/2024 15:46

Congratulations!!!
I adore Frankie from your list.
My other top favourites (today) are Laura and Annie. X

Mumofgirls2017 · 21/10/2024 17:21

I like Maya spelled that way though.

harper is nice although I think it will date (such as names like Sharon, Tracy, Lindsey, Heather)

mnahmnah · 21/10/2024 17:24

Love Frankie.

I have boys, so my unused girls names were:

Naomi
Liberty
Halle

BibbityBobbityToo · 21/10/2024 17:30

I like Harper. Don't like Mylie as it's too close to Mylee the gel nail polish brand

No comment on the other 2 as I've used those for pets 🤣

Atishooo · 21/10/2024 18:06

I hate Mylie, it’s not even Miley Cyrus’s real name. It just feels faddy and will date, like people named Kylie.

Myah is one of those really popular names that seems to crop up everywhere now. Not a fan personally. I like Harper.

BootballJoy · 21/10/2024 18:08

Maia (I prefer the look of it) or Frankie.
