Baby girl names after 3 boys

27 replies

3boymam · 08/02/2025 22:09

First baby girl! Name suggestions please...
Our boys names all start with the 'eh' sound (eg. Heston) We like uncommon names but with her being my only girl I want to have a girly name not unisex. The only ones I can think of are Tessa or Destiny. Any others that I can add to the mix?

Sorry how does Heston start with an ‘eh’ sound? Eston? Do you mean ‘he’ like Heston and Henry?

I really don’t like Destiny personally but here are some girly name suggestions:

Meredith
Delilah
Juliette
Matilda
Arabella
Antonia
Henrietta
Isadora
Felicity
Millicent
Tallulah

Thanks everybody.

Sorry yes I meant 'eh' as the first/second sound. Like Kenny / Henry / Teddy / Heston.

Just please don’t call her Destiny, it’s a hooker name, and the PP that said Nevaeh is taking the piss.

Tessa is lovely.

I was. It’s true.

In fairness, I thought OP was taking the piss too.

StormingNorman · 09/02/2025 10:12

Melody - same feel as Destiny without the stripper connotations.

No I wasn't joking. I used to like the name but I guess if others associate it with stripper then best not to use!

OHHHHH so you’re saying you want your daughter to have that same first vowel sound as the boys, hence Destiny and Tessa! Got it.

Took me a while 😂

I vote Meadow as it’s DD’s middle name 😁

I too wanted a non-boy name for DD.

Have fun!

WildCherryBlossom · 09/02/2025 19:00

If I had had another girl Melissa would have been high on the list. I feel like it's the girls' name that got away 😄 (definitely no more babies for me, but I love names - of all varieties!)

user2848502016 · 09/02/2025 19:34
