Short(ish) girl's name to go with Isla

[Juniper4004]

DC2 due in a matter of weeks (although I suspect it'll come earlier). We don't know the gender but still have boys' names from last time.

We already have an Isla; she had no name for 4 days as we're blatantly a bit rubbish at this whole 'naming a kid' thing.

Surname is a mouthful- 19 letters and lots of Rs and Fs. Both surnames are English so not unusual or tricky; just long together. Consequently, first name has to be short but can be a bit more unusual.

So far, our shortlist is:

Rosa (I really like it, but first surname starts with R and there are 4 in the surname altogether!)
Emily (nice, but a bit plain)
Lily (very popular dawn sauf)
Freya (two Fs in surname, and second surname starts with F)
Imogen (too similar to Isla?)
Ella (too similar to Isla?)


Help please!

[TaliZorah]

I like Rosa. Don't see the problem with two Rs.

I think Emily and Lily are overused.

Don't really like Freya or Imogen.

Ella is okay.

What about Esme, Etta, Ruby?

[DionChappie]

My girls names were Roan (the missing girl from the Wicker Man). I also loved Isla. And Lilah was my other girls name.

[CherryPits]

Having a sense of your last name is helpful, though I am pretending its something like

Rastafarian-Fellas

I like Rosa. Also Olive. Poppy is a good one and I love Caro, not sure anyone has suggested that yet.

Dammit, CherryPits- spot on! How did you know?!

Both DP and I like Naimh but poor kid will have to spell its surname out to all and sundry (although, like I said, each name is fairly normal) so to give it a complicated first name too seems mean. And I'd rather do the 'proper' spelling rather than Neve etc.

[Clueing4looks]

Asha, Iris, Connie, Sian, Joanie.

[BikeRunSki]

Alice ?

[Cinnamon2013]

Rosa is my favourite. I'd definitely avoid Lily, it's crazily popular around here although might I suppose be regional.
