I welcomed my baby girl a few days ago, she was born early and is currently in NICU. She's just been going by "baby girl [last name]" because my husband and I have been so all over the place we've not been able to come up with anything.

I like the 'vibe' of Olivia, Isabella, Hazel etc., but we can't pick anything. Any help would be welcome!

We're not too bothered by her being an Ellie, or it being a commonly used name. We're just so stuck 😂

What’s holding you back from Elodie?

i agree there’s no rush, I didn’t even try to name mine for a week after she was born as I agree it felt too hard!! But I can see in NICU you might want a name sooner so that they can feel more fixed.

Have you tried an app called Kinder? It’s like tinder for names and you and your partner can both swipe and find matches. Some bonkers names but lots of nice ones.

Elodie is nice, but there are SO many Ellies

Estella maybe?

Allegra
Adela
Raphaelle / Raphaella

Congratulations anyways

@WitcheryDivine all the people on here saying they don't like it 😅 is there a problem with there being a lot of Ellie's?

No problem but Ellie as a standalone peaked in about 2002.Add to that all the Eleanor/Elena/Elodie/Eliana/Eloise etc who are probably Ellie too, and all the Ellas, it seems a bit tired.

We've settled on Elodie Mae, maybe not the most popular on this thread but we think it suits her 😂

Elodie Mae is sweet.
Ellie Mae and Elmae are cute nick names too
