Honest opinions and fresh baby girl name suggestions

[ZiggyStardew]

Hi all,

I’m hoping for some fresh eyes as I think I’ve stared at names too long and lost all objectivity 😅

We’re expecting a baby girl and are trying to find something that feels right for us. We’re both a bit non-traditional, into indie music and nature, so we’re drawn to names that feel earthy, a bit creative, maybe slightly whimsical but not too out-there.

Names I like (he’s not as keen):

• Olive
• Cleo
• Fern
• Nell
• Ember
• Tawny
• Stevie
• Wren

Names he likes (I’m not convinced):

• Willow (I do like but seems way too popular?)
• Juniper
• Melody
• Elizabeth
• Ramona
• Saffron

Names we both like:

• Hazel
• Violet
• Billie (but worried about Eilish)
• Harmony

Names we love but can’t use because ex partners / close friends:

• Rowan
• Frankie
• Charlie
• Robyn

I just don’t want anything too frilly, overly traditional, or super common. Equally, he doesn’t want something that feels try-hard or like a “stage name”.

Would really appreciate honest opinions on the above (what works / what doesn’t), and suggestions with a similar vibe that we might have missed

Really like Cleo, Melody and Fern!

Hazel & Violet

Hazel, Nell and Wren.

Olive and Juniper

Juno? Similar to juniper but nicer?

Caroline a nice simple old ish name thats lovely.

'earthy, a bit creative, maybe slightly whimsical but not too out-there.'?

You want:
Astrid
Stella

Maybe:
Daphne
Audrey

Possibly:
Iris
Heather

Deffo not Tawny, Ember or Harmony. Unless you are naming Brownie packs. Or hairspray.

Love Harmony, Saffron, Wren, Melody, Juniper,

Dislike- Olive, Cleo, Ember, Tawny, Stevie, Ramona, Hazel, Violet, Billie, Nell, Willow

Classic- Elizabeth, doenst match the rest of your names

This is deffo due a revivial. And Caro for when she wants to be a posho.

Oh, we like Autumn as well… although she’ll be a summer baby

Nice lists.

Alternatives-
Amber
Piper
Ruby
Tansy
Fay
Paige
Brooke
Doris

I only like Cleo. Some, such as Olive, Violet, Elizabeth are a bit “overdone”. Nell, Ember, Harmony and Tawny don’t seem like actual names to me!

I’ve always loved the names:
Sydney
Liesel
Annalise

I also really like the traditional names (but may be too popular):
Jessica
Charlotte

Meadow?

How about Gaia pronounced Guya. Means mother earth.

Minerva

I also love the myth names - Circe, Hero, Hera, Jocasta

Love Piper but one of my good friends named her daughter that

Nancy
Pamela
Diana
Unity
Jessica
Deborah

Also Aviva, Viva, Donna, Bonita, Clara, Cindy, Milana, Bobbi, Indi (Indigo?)

Robyn is lovely

The only name from your lists that I like is Ramona.

Or Roberta

I’d go for Hazel from the list you both like, I really like it.

I prefer his list to yours (sorry!) but Hazel is my favourite from both lists

Harmony is the only one I really dislike

Olive, Cleo, Fern and Nell are cool, pretty but edgy. Perfect for your style, I think.

Woman on tv yesterday - Rosabel. I thought nice!
