We're expecting a girl after 5 boys- she's due in 10 weeks. Here is our list of first names, I just need any possible tips or ideas on the names, to help us narrow things down. I'm listing them in order of general preference. 

Iona 

Elodie

Lydia 

Sapphira 

Rosalie

Gabrielle 

(Current names of our 5 boys are: Ben, Isaac, Joshua, Joel and Caleb.)

Agree with this.

Also just curious - those are some strong Old Testament names for your boys. Did you not want something similar for your girl? I'm thinking names like Hannah, Abigail, Naomi, Miriam.

I just don't like Hannah, Abigail, Naomi, Miriam, etc. Otherwise, yes I would have gone in that direction.

Lydia was a New Testament lady. This would be sweet and still stay with your boys' names. Of course, so was Sapphira, but her story is not very happy.

Thank you so much for all the opinions. It's super helpful. I do like that Lydia is from the bible, so I'm somewhat leaning towards Lydia right now...

I like Rosalie best. Lydia and Elodie are ok too. With such traditional boy names, Ilona and sapphira are just too strange.

steph410117

Yeah, I think you're right. I think I will possibly take Sapphira off the list. I just loved the sound of Iona and it's apparently a beautiful Scottish island

Gabrielle or Lydia. I prefer Gabrielle.

I also like Rosalind...any thoughts on that versus Rosalie? I didn't realize Rosalie was a Twilight character

Rosalind is lovely! And don't worry about the Twilight connection with Rosalie. No one her age will know the reference.

Rosalind is lovely. Rosamund is similar and means rose of the world
