Looking for help/opinions please. I am now overdue and we still haven't properly agreed on a name (more my fault I think). Our shortlist is:
Freya
Imogen
Felicity
Marina

I also love the names Eloise and Clara although my DH doesn't. So which names do you like best from the shortlist or can anyone suggest anything else that we might like?

They are all nice. Sorry, not helpful!

Freya, Imogen and Felicity are all fine. I like Felicity best.

Marina just makes me think of a dock where lots of small boats / yachts are moored, rather than a person.

Thank you everyone. I'll have to show this to my DH now and see if it gets us any closer to a decision! I think I'm leaning towards Felicity now but that might change by tomorrow Wink

Freya or Imogen are my favourites. Not keen on marina but that's because I live near one so I relate it to boats

Felicity is nice too. Not much help sorry!

Love Freya and Felicity.

Freya is so lovely.

It's short, simple, feminine, looks lovely, won't date badly etc. Plus it has a wonderful mythological association, and travels well (familiar name in many countries).
