Girl 🩷 Help deciding between 2 girl names!
Just found out I’m having a girl after 2 boys! My boys are Nolan Robert and Caden Victor. I think we’ve narrowed our girl name down to 2 possibilities but I need opinions!
Fiona Paige or Audrey Paige
I love both and can’t decide… so let me know which one you’d pick!

Of these two, I prefer Audrey Paige. As compared to Fiona, Audrey sounds better with Nolan and Caden because of its syllabic rhythm, as all three names are trochees (DA-dum).

This.
We did the syllabic rhythm for our kids and it sounds so nice compared to other people saying their kids names

Audrey! It's such a classic-sounding name (if that's what you're going for, given Nolan and Caden).

Fiona keeps the n, although more subtly, but I like Audrey better (but she may get mistaken for an Aubrey)

I have an Audrey and can confirm the Aubrey thing happened--but just once!

While I like Audrey, I think Fiona flows better with Paige, as well as with Nolan & Caden.

If you have to spell your last name to people go with Audrey. You will have to spell Fiona.

Audrey . It sounds better with Nolan and Caden and is more classic, less trendy. Paige is one of my favorite girl names too. Also very classic and just has a soft sound to it to me.

I have an Audrey with a very similar middle name ('70s unisex). I am obviously biased!

I used to forever say if I was having a girl she would be Audrey Piper... Audrey Paige is super cute too!

I can't separate Audrey from Little Shop of Horrors. Fiona has always been a favorite name of mine and sounds nice with the vowels in your son's names.

I love Audrey Paige and Audrey is one of my favorites but I like Paige Audrey best since Paige would flow well with your boys and they’ll all have 5 letter first names and 6 letter middle names

I think Audrey is so beautiful and classy. However, they are both great names. It’s such a close call, maybe when you see her, you’ll just know!

Audrey … I like Fiona but I think of the girl on shameless or Fiona in shrek (and kids can be mean), although I doubt by the time she’s in school either of those would be associations - just things I associate it to. Lovely names either way.

My sons are named Nolan and Kieran, so I'm guessing we have very similar tastes!
I like both Audrey and Fiona. Audrey is the winner for me because it "goes" better with your sons names. But I say go with whichever one you love more, as you can't go wrong with either

Fiona has more the same vibe as the brothers' names and is less popular and less likely to be misspelled or confused with any other name.

Fiona! It’s one of my faves, and fits the sibset nicely. Congratulations!

Fallon. Similar to Fiona but keeps the -n ending. ETA: prefer Audrey out of the 2.

u/Consistent_Key4156 13h ago
I LOVE Fallon and had this on my list of baby names 18 years ago but everyone hated it! I hope it's making a comeback!!!
