Please could you help name our baby girl.
Dh came up with his first suggestion today which was Ruby, I also love this name but am slightly put off by its popularity.
Other contenders are India, like the look and sound of this name, but can't quite get past the fact it is a country.
Also liking Ava but again, concerned by its popularity.
Other suggestions have been Zara and Poppy.
Big sister is Maya.
All opinions and other suggestions welcome, please help!

I think i like Poppy best out of your list, i think it goes nicely with Maya too!

I also like Ava and I only know one!

I like India best.

I love Ruby and wouldn't be put off by a name's apparent popularity if that was the one I wanted, anything else would just seem like second choice

Maya is a beautiful name but I would be inclined to steer away from another 'a' sounding name and for that reaons I'd choose something like

Iris
Phoebe
Evelyn
Kitty
Lily
Camille
Cecile
Beatrice
Nell
Penny
Taryn
Celeste
A nouk
Amelie
Esme
Elspeth
Eleanor

etc etc

I think Ruby and Ava are beautiful and they match together with Maya.
Congratulations for your baby!

I love India, although it's a country it has a really Sunny, Pretty feel to it!

I also love Ruby, but all Beautiful Choices! Congratulations on your Baby! xxx

*Meant to say that although it is a country, I still love it because...! x

I love India too, but I am biased as that's DD1's name. We're expecting DD2 in March and are 95% certain we will be calling her Jasmine. Maya and Jasmine sound lovely together.

GladioliBuckets · 03/01/2010 20:53

Yep, Jasmine or Yasmin sound really good with Maya actually. The vowel in Zara sounds a bit too close to the one in Maya imo.

For some reason ' Eden 'just popped into my head when i saw your other suggestions. Love Ruby tho too.

mathanxiety · 03/01/2010 21:12

I love Zara.

Facebookaddict · 03/01/2010 21:21

Eden is a fab suggestion. Perfectly balanced four letters, repeated vowel and Maya in Peruvian sense is a kin to Eden..

tanmu82 · 04/01/2010 16:21

I love Eden - I wanted to name my DD that but my DH was dead against it and then a family acquaintance went and named her daughter that! I think Zara is beautiful, not too common and means 'Radiance' in Arabic.....this is also a name that I wanted for DD but again DH didn't like it (he has terrible taste!)
