37 weeks pg with dc4. Since finding out she is a girl at 16 weeks ive been rail roaded by dh and other dc to pick a specific name. Finally got listened too last night and other name suggestions are being considered.

Dh and I take it in turns to pick a name however I picked dc1 and he took over dc2 and dc3 and nearly did it again for dc4.
Middle name will be Mae/May
Ideas

Elodie
Charlotte
Thea
Aurora

Thanks

All beautiful! Without knowing your other children’s names I can’t really say if they will clash but all go lovely with may/mae except for Thea. But that doesn’t matter unless you intend call her her middle name and first name everyday

YellowCherry · 15/12/2025 15:06

I really like your list OP. I think Elodie is my favourite, then Thea.

I like Aurora and Charlotte the best but all are lovely.

Charlotte May sounds lovely!

Goandygo · 15/12/2025 15:20

Yes to Charlotte May.

MiddleAgedDread · 15/12/2025 15:20

They're quite different names IMO!
I prefer Charlotte.
Elodie is too frilly for my liking.
Thea is ok but doesn't really work with May.
Don't like Aurora at all.

Thewalrusandthecarpenter · 15/12/2025 15:32

Elodie May flows the best

Onefortheroad25 · 15/12/2025 15:37

Charlotte for sure from that list. Thea is nice too. I don’t like Elodie at all. I like Aurora but need to know the other kids names as it’s very fancy & Disney-ish.

Then you're not taking it in turns. If you both agreed to take turns and he has now named 2/3 of your children, then it's unquestionably your turn to name this one. I'd avoid anything you know he hates, but otherwise go wild.

I like Elodie best out of your choices, but all of them are OK. I think the last name also make a big difference so I would try all of your choices along with Mae/Mae and the last name to see what sounds best to you.

Love Aurora best. Elodie second. Find Charlotte and Thea a bit bland.

Emanwenym · 15/12/2025 16:17

In order:
Charlotte - classic
Elodie - looks pretty but it will probably be Ellie. Use it as the middle name.
I don't like Thea or Aurora.

May is overused as a middle name and I don't like the Mae spelling.

luckylavender · 15/12/2025 16:42

Elodie

May is a family name as nan in law died in October.

If May is the family name, then I would spell it that way. It's more classic and nicer too I think.

Charlotte is a lovely name and the best on your list.

Emanwenym · 15/12/2025 16:51

Sorry about your nan-in-law. Using a different spelling isn't honouring someone IMO, so go with May.

Yes you are right. Im not attached to any spelling so will keep it as May.

Another vote for Charlotte

Agree with all of this.

Charlotte is the best name from the list.

DramaAlpaca · 16/12/2025 01:14

Charlotte May is gorgeous.

I quite like Elodie, Aurora is pretty but a bit princessy and Thea is bland and nothingy.

Charlotte is classic and beautiful, and it's versatile too because of the many diminutives of the name.

ChocolateCinderToffee · 16/12/2025 01:20

I like all your names and I’d choose Aurora as it’s the most unusual.

LivingTheDreamish · 16/12/2025 02:07

Charlotte May is very pretty and not a combination you hear often (despite May being a popular middle name).

Jk987 · 16/12/2025 02:12

Charlotte
