Can’t agree on a girls name - which one?!

We are currently expecting a baby girl and my husband and I can’t agree on a name. We both like all the names on this list, but we have different first choices. Which would you choose? I am aware they are not traditional names so may not be to your taste, but we’re pretty set on them. I am also aware that to some of you they may appear like nicknames but we like them as they are, eg don’t like Caroline for Callie, Persephone for Effie etc.

I voted Callie Isabelle/Isabelle. However to mix things around I also quite like
Sofia Blossom.
Emilia Blossom
Callie Blossom
Sofia Isabelle
Isabella Sofia
Sophie Isabella

Callie Isabelle is my favourite there followed by Gigi Sofia. I don’t like Effie at all. Never heard of it as a name tbh. And Noa while can be used for a girl will always make me think of Noah as in a boy.
Blossom is cute as a second name only and can be used with any of your first name choices.

Thank you for your response! I’ve seen the name Effie come up quite a lot. I actually saw the exact name Effie Emilia used by another mum and have loved it since I saw it. Reminds me of Effie from the hunger games and skins.

Completely agree that blossom is only okay for a middle spot!

I like Effie the best out of your first name options, but I also like Isabella and Blossom. Is Effie Isabella an option?

Agreed - I voted Callie Isabella but Effie Isabella would have been first if on the list.

Callie and Effie are my favourites. Not at all keen on Gigi or Noa.

Firsttimebabymummy · 06/11/2024 16:15

I voted Callie but would use Callie Blossom or Sofia Blossom.

StressedQueen · 06/11/2024 17:31

Callie is lovely.

Gigi - I think of Gigi Hadid or a dog and I understand you don't want a longer name
Effie - Same tbh only I think of The Hunger Games!
Noa - It'll just be confused as a boy's name although it is okay

All of your middle names are lovely

Waterboatlass · 06/11/2024 17:35

I haven't voted as I like Callie and Effie but not followed by vowels. Either one followed by Sofia is nicest.

SkaneTos · 06/11/2024 18:16

Cute names!

I voted for Gigi Sofia.

MrsMoastyToasty · 06/11/2024 18:27

I don't like Gigi. It reminds me of the film , which is about a teenager who is groomed to be an older man's mistress.
I prefer the Sophia spelling. Will you pronounce it So-fe-a or So-fi-a?
I like Callie as a nickname for Callista.
I like Isabelle and Isabella. Also Isobel.
Effie is a nickname for Euphemia. Sorry it sounds like an aged victorian aunt.
Emilia. It's neither bad or good.

Noa. I think everyone will think it's Noah.
Blossom. It sounds like a nickname/pets name.

user1492757084 · 08/11/2024 08:23

I voted Gigi Sofia
My second choice is Callie Isabelle.

Effie Emilia and Noa are not highly rated by me, sorry.

Do you like
Aoife Blossom
Callie Rosalind
Sofie Louisa

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 08/11/2024 08:26

Callie is a beautiful name. Would have been on my list if DS had been a girl.

MainStreetOrHighStreet · 08/11/2024 08:29

Callie Sofia, I don't like two vowels colliding in the middle, which is what you get with Callie Isabelle.

I love Callie.

ChChChChChangingName · 08/11/2024 12:01

I voted Callie Isabelle.
My cousin has a Calla if that's an option?

I don't like GiGi at all. It reminds me of a chihuahua for some reason.
