Name Fatigue

I am pregnant with a girl and due in January. I know I have time, however I am getting soo many questions on if I’ve picked a name yet. I genuinely have NO idea. For context, baby girl is mixed (black and white) and her last name is Elliott. I don’t really like anything too traditional or too nickname-ish/sounds made up.
I’ve gone through SO many lists and nothing is standing out.

You’ve got months.

we didn’t settle on the name of one of my children until 4 hours before my c section.

LambriniBobInIsleworthISeesYa · 02/08/2026 14:49

Haha I thought the same

monicagellerbing · 02/08/2026 14:56

I thought you meant Fatigue as a possible name 😂

Brainstorm23 · 02/08/2026 14:57

We've had Zenith in another thread. Fatigue makes as much sense as that.

NuffSaidSam · 02/08/2026 14:59

Just practise saying 'we're going to wait until she's here' with a smile to shut down any questions/suggestions.

You've got loads of time. Have a shortlist and pick a final name when you meet her.

What a strange list! Laika is a dog's name (first dog in space). Lots of the rest are yooniq spellings.

I am getting soo many questions on if I’ve picked a name yet. Say 'not yet' and leave it.

It’s nobody’s business but your own; As PPs have said, just say you haven’t decided yet.

People are asking you already?! Wowsers!!

We had a looooooong list for each gender and didn't decide till after baby arrived 🫣

Newstart3 · 02/08/2026 18:24

My current favourite baby girl name is Celeste

EmpressOfTheThread · 02/08/2026 18:53

You've got plenty of time. Just tell people you haven't decided.
Just a point though, your surname begins with an E so avoid names ending with a vowel, because it's jarring. So, some of the suggestions on here eg Xanthe, wouldn't sound good, but names like Caroline, Frances, Elizabeth and Katherine would (for example) work with Elliot.

That's a lovely name.
I also like Vivien and it would go well with Elliot.

Wait til arrives and see what name comes into your head when you look at her. My parents had decided on my name before I was born then when I arrived the chose something totally different.

gettingold55555 · Yesterday 12:53

I was like this and baby is a few months old and not really sure our choice was right after all. Although I am struggling with my anxiety so that’s a potential cause of my confusion about it all

I thought that too! I thought this time they really have pushed it too far.
