Nearly 24 weeks with baby girl 2 and have fallen in love with three names already have an Elaïa and really love these three i want a name before birth ideally would love to have some personalised bits but im struggling to choose ! If anyone did wait until birth did it actually help (did baby look like a name )?

These three are the names (took me long enough to make middle names lol now to pick one)

Evangeline lily
Clara isobel
Evelyn sofia

I love Clara and Evelyn - went for Clara as it’s probably the name I’d choose if I had another girl 🩷

I waited to see what my baby looked like before I was set on their name and I’m glad I did. It suited them.

I would go for Sofia Evangeline even though that wasn’t an option. Sorry 😂

Love Clara, Evangeline Lily is an actress so people might assume your a fan? I guess she's not so famous any more but I immediately thought of her when I saw it.

I voted Evangeline Lily as I liked the combo very much. I'm not fan of matching siblings initials, tho.
Don't worry about baby not fitting their name, many parents feel like baby not fitting their names and then the feeling fades. If baby not fitting into their name is causing you anxiety it's worth to talk to your doctor about possible pp depression or anxiety

i really like e names not aiming for matching i just gravitate towards the e sound 🥲 im not sure why ! I also loved etta and ettie and Eleanor but dad wasnt a fan 🤍 thank you for your concern thats really sweet of you! I meant moreso did waiting until birth make choosing the name easier due to baby looking like a name more then another x

No to Evangeline - if you watch old (new series) Dr Who you'd know why.

All three are beautiful. I voted for Clara Isobel because they are two of my favourite names. My only slight reservation with Evangeline Lily would be that there’s an actress called Evangeline Lilly.

ODFOx · 15/02/2025 22:43

I love them all.
I haven't heard of the actress called Evangeline Lily; the name made me think of Nanny McPhee as Evangeline and Lily are two characters, so that would probably be my first choice.

What about Katie Price?

Evelyn Sofia

I love Clara Isobel too but Elaia and Evelyn sound nicer together

HundredPercentUnsure · 15/02/2025 23:22

We were team yellow and had a short list of names for each sex - but actually once baby arrived we didn't like any of our shortlisted names for them! So we went totally rogue and chose one not on the list(s). Same happened a couple of years later with baby 2 😆

HundredPercentUnsure · 15/02/2025 23:22

Clara Isobel is lovely 🥰

sel2223 · 16/02/2025 05:39

I voted Evelyn Sofia - we are considering this the other way round!

Chose Clara Isobel as the best from the three.
