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 · December 2015

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
