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:
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
