Girls names.

Ok, so far i can't find anything i can see myself using...
I like the way Rhea looks on paper but DP says it sounds like rear...
DP likes
Naomi (my mum's mortal enemy, if i use it it would start WW3)
Kiah (don't hate it, but don't love it either)
Freya (same as Kiah)
Katelyn (hate that it would get shortened)

I'm just having a really hard time with naming this bub. I think it may be because i had my heart set on a boy, this being my last bub but that's another thread...

Kiah would be my choice if I had to pick from that list.. Not keen on others..

i love kiah thats what i want um other names i like are

cailin,mia,harper,annabella,sophie,evie,olivia rose, mckenna. hope this helps ya

What about Rhiannon then you could shorten it th Rhea. Play with the spelling maybe.
Out of his choices I love Freya and Kiah reminded me of the car Kia.

I love Kiah from your list though Naomi is a pretty awesome name too :rofl:

I know how you are feeling too about finding a 3rd girls name its so so hard isn't it (especially when you hoped for a boy) so massive understanding hugs :hug: the right name WILL come to you x

Nae x

I like Naomi but it sounds like your not really that keen on any of them.

Our shortlist was
Natasha, Chloe, Aria, Olivia, Haylee, Elisabeth, and Danielle.

Hope you find 'the one' :)

kiah is a nice name. Here are some of my faves:

Jemima, Phoebe, Chelsea, Genevieve, Maisie, Mackenzie, Lailah, Ruby, Lily, Lauren, Grace, Chloe, Aimee, Audrey, Evelyn, Ainsley

Good luck!!

I love Katelyn. Second would be Naomi.
I don't really like any of the others much, sorry!
TBH, if you like Naomi, then name baby Naomi. It's not your mothers child, nor should it matter what she would name it!

i used to live across the rd from a little girl called Kiah, i thought it was a nice name, different, but not too out there, and it really suited her

Is Rhea pronounced RAY or Re-ah?
Im not a big fan of the other names sorry

See i like Kiah, but like i said i don't love it. I just can't find "the one".
DP and i both really like Naomi but honestly it's not worth the drama with my mother...

The middle name will most likely be Brenda after my Nan, we were going to use her middle name Ursula but then we might acccidently spell something.

nickers - I would pronounce it re-ah whether i am right or not is a different matter lol

Thanks everyone for your input any other name suggestions would be great. We aren't huge fans of names that can be shortened and popular names being a Je$$ i had at least 2 others every year in my classes in year 1 there were 6 of us. So yeah any help would be awesome :)

i know a kaitlyn i think its a pretty name

why not try some other names..what r u looking for? old fashioned, moderen? whacky?

I like old fashioned names as long as they aren't too common. Um i dunno haha different but not CRAZY. My DD's names are Ly!a Gr@ce and $hay Bet#any. I like names that can't be shortened.

How about Kyra? It's a mix of Kiah and Freya.

On the same theme - Leah, Pia, Tia. I like the suggestion of Rhiannon to be shortened to Rhea. Also Rhianna. From your list, I like Freya the best. I also like Talia. What about Keyra?

Do you like Naomi? If you really liked it, your mum would probably get over it :p

Katelyn probably would get shortened but you can always correct people. I have to do that with my mum for my DD. She's Emily but mum keeps shortening it to Emi, which I don't like.

I love the names of your first two DD's :)

If only my mother was that easy... No everything is always about her as it is if i used Naomi she'd honestly probably never speak to me again...

I'd rather avoid a name that is so easy to shorten like Katelyn cos people know i like my kids names to be their names (does that make sense?) So they lengthen my girls names. They call Ly!a Delilah and Sh@y Sh@y-Sh@y or Ricochet (apparently this is hilarious they also call her "ping ping" cos of Ricochet Rabbit :dunno: )

I like Pia DP says no though

Farmgirl - Kyra is quite pretty will put it on our list thanks :)

It's so hard trying to please everyone :shakehead:

What do you ladies think of Nelia?

what do you ladies think of Ally as a name (i don't even know how you'd spell it) DP and DD1 seem to have their minds made up... i just can't find anything that feels right to me :wall:

I struggled with naming one girl lol :hug: I can't imagine naming the 3rd one lol

I like Kyra too - it is pretty, different but not obscure lol

Ally, Aly, Allie - short for Alyson, which is a really pretty name to write down. I have an obsession with how it feels to write out - I had pages and pages of me writing names out before I decided lol

Maybe you can try out different names that spring to mind while you are talking until the right one comes out one day lol

What about Ellie?

Have you considered changing the pronunciation of Rhea (re-ah) to Ray-ah? That would stop the "rear" association and its really pretty i think.

Since you like the Rhea/Kiah type sounding names, what about Greer?

Katelyn, personally i wouldnt shorten, wouldnt even think about shortening it. But that said, someone somewhere is always going to find a way to shorten, pronounce or spell any name wrong, so if you love Katelyn, dont be put off by the fact it may get shortened from time to time, as has been mentioned by a pp, you can always correct them.

Ive got 5 girls and i lovvvvvvveeeeeee naming girls, its boys i find hard lol.

Some suggestions:

Ebony
Odessa
Sapphire/Sapphyrah (which u could pronounce sapphire or saf fy rah)
Brielle/Briella
Soraya
Serenity
Tuscany
Chardonnay
Tia

I hope you find the name you are looking for :)

instead of making a new thread i decided i'd just revive this one...

We had decided on Eve!yn Brenda McM_____

but it just doesn't sound right with DP's last name and i don't think it "fits" so we're back to square one...

on DP's list is
Marissa
Kara
Anna
Alyce

My list
Demi
Elsa
Emily

we both like Naomi still but just can't be bothered with the drama. The names on my list i don't think i'd ever use lol i think they're nice but they aren't clicking as "the one" IYKWIM... i'd still like to use Brenda as the middle name, but Dp seems to like names that end with "a" so sound funny with it.

So ladies hit me with all the shortish girls names you can think of... again lol

I'm a fan of Emily personally :D
I still think your mum would get over it if you picked Naomi too. But it sounds like you're not all that fussed on it anyway?
I also wouldn't worry too much about how the middle name sounds with the first as it is rarely used. Since you are having so much difficulty, it might be better to put that aside for now & just focus on choosing a first name you really like.

Some more suggestions (sorry if they have already been suggested):
Amy
Kylie
Giselle/Jesselle
Valerie
Vivienne
Daisy
Hayley
Ashlyn
Nora
Jillian/Gillian
Miranda
Mikayla
Eden
Philippa/Pippa
Penelope/Penny
Sienna
Erin
Tessa
Maci/Macey
Hazel
Josie
Ivy
Celia
Kelly
Sasha
Ayla
Adelyn
Erika

ETA: I forgot to mention that I like your choice of E v e l y n. I had that on my list for DD.

I too was like you and didnt want my children's names to be shortened. I chose their name and that is what they will be called.
Our little girl is Br@@ke $ienn@ M and she mostly gets called by that but will get Br@@kie on occasion.
If No. 2 was a girl he was going to be Leah Isabelle.

Others we considered were:
Jade Isabella
Grace Charlotte
Georgia Hope

Hope that helps

I like Greer, what about greta?

I know s rhea who is ray-ah not ree-ah and I prefer that.

Naomi is a.great name too though ;) but we do get shortened to nai though if that makes a diffetence.

I love Emily too, it was on our list if we were to have another girl. Though it would likely get shortened to Em or Emmy (Which I think is a nice name too!). What about Lily, or Lillian. DD is Lily and that's all I call her, it seems that she might miss out on her name being shortened to Lil, though I don't necessarily mind if it is! i think if you set the standard that *THIS* is her name, people will follow suit.

How about-

Sarah
Lauren
Kate
Paige
Zoe
Greta
Laura
Ava
Paige
Brooke
Isla
Erin
Eden
Eve/Eva
Bryce
Beth

so after finally getting DP to talk about names for more than 5 minutes he has put his foot down and chosen Naomi Brenda McM_____, i told him we aren't telling anyone until she is born and HE is telling my mother... i will hide lol Thanks for your suggestions ladies :hug:

Great choice :clap: Now I want to be a fly on the wall to see your mum's reaction ;) I'm sure she'll be fine.

haha i'll let you know how we go, i'm betting she'll lose it and i know that sounds like i'm over doing it but honestly she'll make it out to be that i'm doing it because it's her "mortal enemy" and i'm doing it just to hurt her... but honestly can't be bothered trying to please people with our name choice. There's a small chance she'll act like a mature adult (and just complain to my big sister behind my back) but i doubt it :rolleyes:

Honestly my friend hated me for naming DD4 Sophie (her ex left her for a girl called Sophie) but now she only associates the name with my DD. She'll come around :)

I keep thinking about this thread. You mum is bugging me & I don't even know her! Maybe you could rename your mother "Batman". Who has a "mortal enemy" anyway? :o Do they duel? I'm kind of picturing a couple of middle aged ladies (like Irene from H&A) batting at each other with handbags or walking sticks.

:ROFL: seriously thanks for that post! No they haven't even SEEN each other in close to 10 years but still every time she hears the name or she gets mentioned in conversation we have to sit through the "mortal enemy" tale of how it all happened... she sure knows how to hold a grudge :rolleyes:

RockingBaker - Thanks, i hope so
