Help - baby girl still nameless at 5 days old

[LotsOfSmallThings]

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 🙏

Nova is lovely!

Rae
Maeva
Brooke
Sorrel
Nerissa
Primrose
Robyn
Eira
Iris
Sylvie

I think she looks like a Tess! How about Romy? Fern? Robin? Hazel? Jessie?

My DM’s friend is Nella
and came across a Jersey today- quite liked it

Almaz (Precious)
Amba (Goddess)

We finalised one of our daughters names on the way to the registry office as we'd been bouncing between two names!

I quite like Tess, from your list. I have always gone for old, traditional names for mine though. Currently at the nursery I'm working in Elsie is very popular right now and so are names like Lottie, Rachel, Freya, Violet, etc so older names are coming back into popularity. Tess or Cassie would fit in to the general tread. I like Shea too, but only with the Sh spelling.

Both cross off the ones you can't live with, then your least favourites, until you are left with two or three to decide which suits her best.

Those seem mostly nicknames.

how about Renee’?

Margot
Madeleine nn Lainey or Maddi
Melissa nn Liss/Lissa

If I had a girl I would name her Rosie

We had similar names on our list, our final 4 were:
Cassia
Vivienne (Vivi)
Frances (Frankie)
Lyra

Claudia?

Euphemia is a cracker of a name, it is just so grand 😀 my Grans, Grandmothe e was Euphemia but apparently she went by mimi,

I’ve been a teacher for well over 20 years and have never come across a single Wren!

I love Wren and Nova. How about Una?

Kaya
Calla

Going by your existing list

Or
Christie
Kirstie
Kirsten
Cleo

Edited to say that although suggesting things similar to many on your list, if I had to vote I like Tess

I don’t.. reminds me of the festival.

I have a Chloe and Louise. Louise was going to be Marian originally but moved it to her middle name. I never see any other Louise's so it's nice that her name is common like others

If I had a girl she was going to be Aneira (Annie). It means very snowy in Welsh.

Love Romy, that’s definitely a contender! Also Calla is very pretty. Iris and Sylvie have come up lots - I really like them both but OH is less keen. I’m not super stressed over it and def don’t want to rush the decision but equally feel like we’re no further forward with naming her than we were 6 months ago 😅 however I do feel like the right name is out there, just waiting to us to find it! I’ll update the thread when we’ve made a decision but in the meantime feel free to keep the suggestions coming 😁

Also I taught a Callista once.

Looking at her sweet little face I think that she’s a Kaia or Kya ( pronounced similarly). It’s very pretty (without being too soft) and so is she. Congratulations.

Keziah?
Leah
Juniper
Tori
Helena
Sasha
Sofia
Penelope
Ada
Kitty

He likes Eden, you like Ivy. What about Evelyn - that seems like a good combination of those two.

Shes absolutely gorgeous, congratulations!

From your original name list I like Maya best. As you like Tess and Cass, what about Tessa?
Tina, Jana, Hanne, Reva, Noomi, Halley/ Hallie
vote for Lyra

I also know an Iselin which may cross both your’s and DH’s style.
