We are due in October so I’ve still got a little bit of time to fully decide.

This is our short list (although it is not that short) some names have been inspired from threads I’ve seen on here, and some I’ve loved for years.

Our shortlist is:

  • Thea
  • Ivy
  • Nara
  • Cassia
  • Aliya / Alia
  • Eira
  • Mila
  • Gia

Thank you :)

I like Cassia, followed by Eira.

Emanwenym · 11/08/2025 19:36

I don't like any of them.
I like Cassie and Gina.

Mumofgirls2017 · 12/08/2025 07:58

Ivy, Cassia or Thea

The best on your list are Cassia, Thea and Mila.

I prefer ..
Cassandra, Cassie, Cynthea, Camilla, Theodora, Millicent.

I like Cassia. Lots of scope for nicknames, and not too common, sounds classy, and suits a child as well as an adult. The only one I dislike is Mila, as it's so so overused where we are (4 I personally know of) , and half pronounce it My-la, and the other half Me-la, and I never remember the pronunciation for each one. My kids are constantly telling me no mum, that was Me-la, not My-la, so maybe not an issue for other kids, but the parents may get confused, especially if you end up with another one with the other pronunciation nearby!

Ivy. Thea is ok, the others look like names you’d give a poodle, not a daughter!

Cuddlesup · 12/08/2025 20:02

Ivy. Just Ivy.

Firebird83 · 13/08/2025 21:53

Cassia or Nara. The others are a bit “meh”

Not keen on Nara, love Thea and Ivy

I would only use Eira with a family connection to Wales and Gia with a connection to Italy but they're both pretty.
