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 🙏

Those seem mostly nicknames.

how about Renee’?

Margot
Madeleine nn Lainey or Maddi
Melissa nn Liss/Lissa

Renee is lovely, and certainly not commonly heard. I second this one, OP.

If he likes Shea, then what about Thea (I’ve got one!)? I also like Athena and Astrid.

NormasArse · 25/11/2025 21:57

I work in early years- I’ve never met a Wren yet!

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 🤦‍♀️
Photo of squish included (because why not)

Aww - she’s gorgeous.

I like Astra and Nova but can’t stop thinking of the Vauxhall cars!!!

Astrid is beautiful or how about Asta?

Callie and Cassie are also both gorgeous. Clara?

A friend of mine has just named her baby Nettie and I know an Ettie. Again, both lovely

Oh she's so beautiful!

I think she looks like a Maya. But I see you've now ruled it out. Eden and Ivy i think suit her too.

I think you need more than one syllable though with your surname.

Good luck.

Mamabear487 · 25/11/2025 22:01

I have a Darcy. I love Nova and Luna

Lara, there you go you can have my no 1 girls name pick because I didn't get to use it. It would be amazing to think there was a wee lassie out there with it.

@WarrenTofficier
I have a beautiful one year old Lara, it was the only name we loved.

Tess or Cassie are great choices

teaandtoastwouldbenice · 25/11/2025 22:30

Alternative could be Ada, Everly or Sadie.

shes a cutie congrats

LittleChicken11 · 25/11/2025 22:44

Nola, Connie, Cova, Romy, Sadie or Suzie would maybe fit your list.
Or Stella, Seren, Serafina to match your Prefs.

Congrats, she is beautiful and the right name will come. She does look like a Noa which some posters have mentioned too.
