Help - baby girl still nameless at 5 days old

We just can’t find a name we agree on 🤦‍♀️
our original name list:
Cass/Cassie
Juno
Nova
Maya
Remi
Kaia
Kali/Callie
Tess
Wren (ruled out as too popular)

We struggled with the name game while I was pregnant but were sort of half decided on thinking she’d be a Cass or a Kali but neither of them are settling well on her. OH LOVES Shea but only wants to spell it Che which is a hard no from me so back to the drawing board. I love Juno but he’s vetoing. We’ve been round and round in circles for what feels like forever. Please help, mumsnet hive mind! Open to any and all suggestions 🙏

I love Callie

Cleo?
Chloe?

HighburyHope · 25/11/2025 19:28

Romy or Zoe?

AgentPidge · 25/11/2025 19:32

I also like Wren and I've never met one. Willow, Hazel, Rowan?

Not Kali - Indian goddess of destruction!

Thanks all for the suggestions/rebuttals 😁 interesting that people are saying Wren isn’t popular - I know three off the top of my head whereas have met very few of our other names!
Half the problem is we can’t agree - he loves Eden, Effie, India, Veda and if he had final say would probably call her Nessa. I love Ivy, Ava, really pushed for Artemis but was shut down in no uncertain terms 😅 and if I had final say would call her Astra. She is also one of many (blended family) so lots of names have been used on siblings either as first or middle names, or they sound too similar to use again 🤦‍♀️

Oh she is beautiful congratulations xxx

RosesAndHellebores · 25/11/2025 19:36

Cassandra - Cassie
Calliope - Calli

There are lots of short names that would be better in my opinion:

Anna
Jane
Chloe
May
Petra
Rose
Mary
Marnie
Nina
Flora

Thea goes with the theme you like? I prefer Calypso to Callie.

Sage, Emmie, Romilly, Elle, Cove?

Oh wow! 🤩 Congratulations! 🎈 What a beautiful baby!

LoveHearts69 · 25/11/2025 19:42

What about Hallie, Ettie, Saffie or Effie? I feel like they’d fit in with your list.

Bobbysmumma · 25/11/2025 19:42

She is gorgeous ❤️

I know a lovely Shea (which probably makes me love the name) and have also met a Che!

What about Ellis? I know a beautiful Ellis 💕

champagnetrial · 25/11/2025 20:00

How about Astrid? It's got the d sound he seems to favour (Veda, Eden etc) and the Ast that you love. Plus it's a v cool name. She is a cutie. Congrats!

I like Kaia or Maya from your list

HighburyHope · 25/11/2025 20:02
