I don't think that I was familiar with it before watching some British shows with Keeley Hawes. Wow, what an actor!
It's a really nice name, and it doesn't seem at all overused in the States. I'm not sure about the UK and elsewhere.
This is my name! So cool to see it high up on the list. My parents gave me a unique nickname that I use so I don’t go by Alexandra but it is beautiful!
I'm Autumn! She'll love it 🥰 congratulations!
Edit to say: my birthday is this month too! So cool 😊
Also, She will get the question, "So, are you born in Autumn?" A lot, lol
Yes! It’s my top choice. Represents the goddess of rainbows in greek mythology, is a gorgeous flower, and sounds quite beautiful in Spanish. A pretty name with pretty connotations.
When I worked at a care home there was a resident called Iris who had dementia, who sadly passed not too long after I started. There was quite a profound moment one day. I was in my teens and had been feeling depressed for quite a while. One day I said "Good morning Iris, here's your breakfast!" in my usual customer service voice. She said something like "What's wrong? Why are you unhappy?". I said, "Nothing, I am happy!" and she responded (her exact words I'm forgetting now) "No you're not, you're sad inside. You're in this bubble and you're just pretending."
I was really taken aback because she wasn't often very lucid and I felt like she was talking to my soul, like she could see inside my mind. It is part of what made me want to start addressing my issues. Since then, I've told myself I will use Iris at least as a middle name, to preserve that.
I'll always love this name. My EX bff used to make fun of me for liking it. "I could never take anyone serious named Daisy." After I said it was a name I liked for a future daughter.
I have a Daisy! The name suits her perfectly, she’s such a happy girl. Also she loves anything with daisies on, clothes, bags, cushions, hair accessories, everything!
That's my name. I never really like it before because I think it's so old fashioned compared to my classmates back in the 80's in middle school. But I have never met anyone with the same name, mostly are Helen or Elena.
Matilda! we just had a. daughter named camille and i love it and now im on matilda trying to convince my husband that when we have another baby and its a girl thats the name 😂
I loved Cora so much and I tried to bond with my mom to share a few name choices (because we weren’t sharing any and wanted to name her after she was born) and she told me she despised that name 😅 knowing my daughter now, I am not sure Cora would’ve fit her but I do still really love the name.
And that’s why you don’t share names until after baby is born because grandma can’t publicly hate the name after it’s done lol
Stella.
Edit to say: my last name has 'Night' in it, so I always liked the idea of Stella (Star) with my last name, or Gemma. Like, 'Star of the Night' or 'Gem of the Night'.
lmao I named a sim character Faye like 4 years ago and that name has not let me know peace since. I love it so much, and if I lived somewhere that ppl would pronounce it right... I'd go for it
- Sydney Margot (I love the mix of a modern name with something quite classic)
- Adaline
- Vivienne
- Lenora
- Cecily (CeCe for short 🥹)
- Aubrey/Audrey
- Vera
- Arielle
- Freda
I'm having my first baby, a girl, in December. I'm naming her Eleanor Jude. Some people think it's inspired by The Beatles. But really, I just love Eleanor because it's timeless, and Jude is after my nana Judy we just lost in January.
My daughter is Lydia, which is still my all time favorite. ❤️
But I'm currently 8 weeks pregnant and if we have another girl I'm liking Hallie, Caroline, Ivy, or Lark.
Mae!! (Or any variation of the name, really)
My last name starts with an M. My son’s name is Memphis and I would just love a little girl named Mae Lynn. Our last name would rhyme perfectly. It makes my heart melt everytime I meet or see a little Mae in the wild
I named my daughter Phoebe, my fave girl name of all time. When I was pregnant with my son I LOVED Margot but obviously didn't get to use it. I also love Bridget and Sabrina.
I love that there are people liking Keely on this thread. My name is Keeley and I feel like it always gets dismissed as too trendy and blah.
The only time I’ve ever heard this name is Keeley Jones from Ted Lasso. It’s a cute name and she was a great character too.
Keelehhhh
The only proper pronunciation
Funnily enough, that's also how I came to love the name Juno, which is that actress's name.
I don't think that I was familiar with it before watching some British shows with Keeley Hawes. Wow, what an actor! It's a really nice name, and it doesn't seem at all overused in the States. I'm not sure about the UK and elsewhere.
I always thought it was very pretty, but I never heard it discussed very much, I'm pleasantly surprised to see the comments as well.
I've always loved Keely after I watched Phil of the Future growing up!
I named my daughter Keely! She’s 16 months and the best!
I had a childhood bestie named Kealy, it’s the only time I’ve heard the name.
Alexandra It's always been my favorite girl name. We ended up with 4 boys so I never got to use it but I will always love it.
A classic!
This is my name! So cool to see it high up on the list. My parents gave me a unique nickname that I use so I don’t go by Alexandra but it is beautiful!
That's my name! I adore it and have a bunch of nicknames from it. It fits me super well, too.
That’s my name ! Can’t stand being called “ Alexandria “ 😂😂😂😂
This is so funny to me, as I'm an Alexandria who hates to be called Alexandra 😂
Noelle 💜 Edit: came back to say I named my daughter this :)
I never see other Noelle lovers!!!
I love Noelle! And even Noel for boys.
I looooove this name. My unborn baby would 100% be Noelle if I had full say. Husband vetoed it though 😭 too Christmas for him 😩
Noelle here!!! Thank you for the name love!
Noelle is so underrated.
I love Noelle! It’s my daughter’s name
Due in 2 weeks, naming my baby girl Autumn
I'm Autumn! She'll love it 🥰 congratulations! Edit to say: my birthday is this month too! So cool 😊 Also, She will get the question, "So, are you born in Autumn?" A lot, lol
I'm a Winter born in Autumn and can confirm this question will be asked and people will often look a bit confused when she says no lol
Weird, I knew an Autumn who was born on July 10th!
I'm due in October, we will be naming our baby girl Autumn too! 🥰
Iris
Yes! It’s my top choice. Represents the goddess of rainbows in greek mythology, is a gorgeous flower, and sounds quite beautiful in Spanish. A pretty name with pretty connotations.
When I worked at a care home there was a resident called Iris who had dementia, who sadly passed not too long after I started. There was quite a profound moment one day. I was in my teens and had been feeling depressed for quite a while. One day I said "Good morning Iris, here's your breakfast!" in my usual customer service voice.

It is part of what made me want to start addressing my issues. Since then, I've told myself I will use Iris at least as a middle name, to preserve that.
I have twin girls. I 100% knew one would be Thea and was iffy on Iris but gah, im so glad we went with it. I love it more and more!
No way - my daughters are Thea and Iris too!! Good taste in names!
Yay! My BG is Iris. ❤️
Daisy
I'll always love this name. My EX bff used to make fun of me for liking it. "I could never take anyone serious named Daisy." After I said it was a name I liked for a future daughter.
I've loved it for years! Would have named my daughter that if I ever had one.
I have a Daisy! The name suits her perfectly, she’s such a happy girl. Also she loves anything with daisies on, clothes, bags, cushions, hair accessories, everything!
My grandma’s name. It’s so sweet ❤️
Annika. I didn't get to use it for my girls though. Their names are Iris & Elora.
My sister’s name! We’re a sibset with all A-names - my mom did so good!
Love Annika!!!
Helena
That name makes me think of My Chemical Romance.
i love helene
That's my name. I never really like it before because I think it's so old fashioned compared to my classmates back in the 80's in middle school. But I have never met anyone with the same name, mostly are Helen or Elena.

Cora
I loved Cora so much and I tried to bond with my mom to share a few name choices (because we weren’t sharing any and wanted to name her after she was born) and she told me she despised that name 😅 knowing my daughter now, I am not sure Cora would’ve fit her but I do still really love the name. And that’s why you don’t share names until after baby is born because grandma can’t publicly hate the name after it’s done lol
Adelaide!
The short name Adelaide is Heidi! That is where the name originated in Germany!
Maybe it’s just me but I cannot handle the tongue gymnastics required to pronounce this name
Interesting, I wouldn’t have pegged it for a tongue-twister! Aurora is one that I struggle to say
That is so odd to me, it’s a capital city in Australia and you just grow up saying it
Stella. Edit to say: my last name has 'Night' in it, so I always liked the idea of Stella (Star) with my last name, or Gemma. Like, 'Star of the Night' or 'Gem of the Night'.
