I need some inspiration!!

[linziluv]

OK, I'm expecting a baby girl in 10 weeks...DP and I are not agreeing at all to the point I won't bring it up....
Apparently, he would like a name that's unusual...so far he's put forward Angel, Destiny or Alabama! Feckin awful!
I like Millie or Maisie, also Elisha which DP agrees is OK....I could compromise with Angel as middle name but absolutely not the others!
She'll have DP's surname which is one syllable and seems to go with most names!
Soooo, something pretty and perhaps slightly unusual...any ideas?
TIA

Eliza - prefer to Elisha but similar?

Your tastes do seem poles apart - agree Destiny and Alabama best avoided! What about Alba?

Elisha is the name of a male prophet, mentioned in the Old Testament and the Koran.

Angel could become Angela, Angelina or Angelica.

Millie and Maisie are both lovely, but it sounds as if DP wants rather more unusual. How about:

Tallulah, Azaria, Elettra, Wanda, Aisha, Aphra, Seraphina, Zephyrine, Artemis, Shula, Peronel, Persis?

[EmmaBGoode]

Maisie Alabama I think is lovely. Might pinch it myself!

[blueberrymoon]

You might have seen my thread - I am toying with Mica/Misha at the moment...?

[meditrina]

Misha is lovely for a boy!

[littlemissw]

Along the same lines as Elisha...

Elanie (I-laa-ni)
Alani

[BlueChampagne]

We know a little girl called Misha. Agree that your DP's suggestions are best avoided! How about:

Alanna
Rhiannon
Meryl
Meredith
Corinna
Olwen

Romilly (got one and never met another)
Romille
Romy
Ethne
Jeanie
Estelle
Bo

A lot of odd 'modern' names always seem to conjure up images of porn stars though, although Elspeth doesn't

[MaybeTomorrow]

Our DD is Elesha.

I really wanted Elisa (pronounced E-Lisa), but DH wasn't keen so Elesha was a compromise.

She is always called Ellie or Ellie-Bear (but she is only 21 months old)

[Valinor]

If he likes Angel and you like Elisha, how about Evangeline? Very pretty, girly but also quite sophisticated.

[Valinor]

Or Anneliese?
