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 🙏

Nell or Neve?

Abracadabrador · 25/11/2025 20:04

Whose surname is she getting?

ScruffMuffin · 25/11/2025 20:04

Your names are all nice. I think she looks like a Clara or Annie though!

Whodathoughtit2 · 25/11/2025 20:05

How about Gaia?

Nell or Neve?

This, she looks like a beautiful Nell to me, congratulations.

Carys
Cora
Astrid
Athena
Amelie

CJones11 · 25/11/2025 20:12

She's beautiful. Congratulations. You haven't got to settle on a name yet, try a few out for a day or two each to see what sticks.

I adore Tess. One of my daughters is Esther (currently calling her Essie pest as she's approaching 1). But I'd love to call her Tess as a diminutive when she's older.
Juni would also be wonderful.

Felicity (Fliss)
Gwenny (I have a daughter Gwennan who goes by this)
Alma
Tallulah
Clara
Maeva
Savannah
Sienna
Alice
Honey
Joy
Darli

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 🤦‍♀️

Definitely EDEN! a beautiful daughter congratulations and sending all the best wishes 💐

Linenpickle · 25/11/2025 20:14

Please don’t calll her Nova - Israeli music festival massacre…

Kilot · 25/11/2025 20:15

Ida?

Tighteningmybelt · 25/11/2025 20:16

Astrid, Anouk, Saskia or Cassiopeia?

HumerousHumous · 25/11/2025 20:17

Tess and Maya are lovely.

How are Stella, Estella or Louisa?

You can't call a gorgeous little girl Nessa the week Wicked came out people will think you named her Nessa because Wicked just came out 😀

Anyway i love Ivy,Eden and Effie.

Happyjoe · 25/11/2025 20:27

Cassie is lovely, friendly name.
If you like Nova, what about Stella?
Anya
Millie
Lucy?

Congrats by the way! Hope you're all doing grand.

GreenMoonLeaf · 25/11/2025 20:27

I love Tess, Callie and Cassie on your list. I know duplicates of all the other names on your list. Maya is very popular so wouldn’t go for that if Wren is too common for you.

Rituelec · 25/11/2025 20:30

I know 2 baby Novas recently.

Hedgehogbrown · 25/11/2025 20:32

Who's surname has she got? I'm willing to bet his. In which case you can push through your choice. Otherwise say he can choose but she (and you) are having your surname.

WimbyAce · 25/11/2025 20:32

We took ages to settle on both of ours as you want to make sure the name fits. Heidi, Clara, Bronte?

Rituelec · 25/11/2025 20:33

Lottie
Verity
Emmie/Emmy
Tessa
Lena
Lori
Lois
Paloma
Carrie
Felicity
Thea
Gracie

HighburyHope · 25/11/2025 20:34

Edie or Eve/Evie?

itsgettingweird · 25/11/2025 20:35

Sillysoggyspaniel · 25/11/2025 18:31

Cadi? (Pronounced caddy)

That’s exactly what my first thought was.

So another vote for Cadi/Kadi

itsgettingweird · 25/11/2025 20:36

Ps she’s gorgeous btw 😊

Eva? It sounds like a blend of names you both like.

She’s beautiful, OP 😍 congratulations xx

carly2803 · 25/11/2025 20:40

Ciara?

cassie is lovely

Luna6 · 25/11/2025 20:41

Another vote for Cassie. It’s pretty and different. Or Cassia?
