Girls names needed please

[TTCJJB]

Hi everyone,
Currently 35 weeks pregnant with a girl, we already have a son but stuck on a name and feeling very stressed.

It needs to be something that is not too common but equally not so unusual that no one has ever heard of it before or a "made up name". Definitely asking for the only child in their class/year group with that name.

On our list so far are the following but I'm not sold on any, so similar names welcomed:

• Eden
• Romy/Romilly
• Hallie
• Noa
• Juno
• Nova
• Kaia

Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

I really like Kaia x

I love Kaia.
Sasha
Cleo
Sophie Sophia
Neve
Amal

(There’s 3 Hallies in my sons class and I know of 2 others at the school)

Hallie is gorgeous 🥰

Hallie is no. 50 in the most common baby names of 2025 so far according to baby centre UK.
Eden is 57th.
Nova sounds chavvy but is also 76th on the list.
All 3 of those you might struggle being the only one in the year group.

Kaia reminds me of Kai which was a very common boys name when my first was born. I lived in a dodgy area though so it was also quite a chavvy name. Don't know if that's particularly representative of the name though.

Romy feels very American.
Juno is a well known film about a teen pregnancy.
Noa will forever be assumed male until you meet her.

Cara / Kara

Id think twice about Nova.

That was the name of the music festival that was involved in the 7th October massacre in Israel. Given it was very recent, I really wouldn't.

Noa is about the only one I like.

They're all a bit new age and very, in the moment, the rest.

I prefer old classics that won't date and are always used but to each their own.

Noa is lovely.

Love Hallie, can’t stand Nova. I think Romy is becoming quite popular.

My daughter is Juno, I love it!

I also like Romy.

Other names I like are Stella, Elliott (think this is so nice for a girl), Jessa

I love Kaia!
Romy and Hallie are lovely too. Eden is quite nice.

How about -

Seren
Arwen
Indi
Eira
Cleo
Nia
Maeva
Lyra
Mara
Raya
Amaya
Macey
Marnie
Callie
Sage
Ember
Sorrel
Merryn

There might not be many little Noas at school, but there will definitely be a lot of little Noahs!

Some ideas...
Aphra
Zelda
Vita
Glenda
Hester

Nova made me think of the massacre too.

Of your list, I like Eden (nickname Edie) and Kaia best.

Oooh pretty much love all suggestions but yes could definitely be another of those I the year..

Love Noa but there’ll likely be lots of boy Noahs in the year group at school.

Baby names in England and Wales: 2024 - Office for National Statistics
Download the list and look at Table 6.

Bear in mind that names tend to get shortened, so although Tilly-Mai may be almost unique, there may be several Matildas, leading to several Tillys.

Names vary by area and culture, so you might end up with your DD being only one of two registered that year both in the same school class.

I like Romy and Juno from your list. How about:

Alba
Hebe

I'm not keen on any of them I'm afraid!
Eden is bearable and Eddie is cute as a nn.
Romilly is a not particularly nice suburb of Stockport so I'd swerve that one!
Romy.....I'm never sure how to pronounce it, is it Roamy or Romm-ie?

Eden will be Edie not Eddie.
Romilly is a not particularly nice suburb of Stockport so I'd swerve that one! Quite.

Lovely list! I particularly like Eden, Noa and Kaia :)
