DP likes a few names and I have no idea, we're just going round in circles.

He likes Anya, but I'm not sure, I suggested Aine but I don't know whether it's right either.
His other names are Mia/Mya/Maya, Ava, Eva. I think that's it.

We both like quite short 'pretty' or unusual names, but are open to suggestions.

Please help!

Aisling?

My niece's middle name is Niamh and a friend's dd is Erin.
I'm finding a lot of names I like, and ones DP has suggested are names of friends or friends' children.

Teehee, one of you have suggested my name so I'm going to give that a miss! Grin

There are also lots of my family's names in there, I guess that's not surprisingly being from an Irish family.

I actually really like Lilia and Elfie.
