Baby girls names - help

[Topkat9]

So stuck on choosing a name for my baby girl, only like a handful,

Bella
Laila/Layla
Violet
Indie

Feel they are either too popular/not suitable for a grown woman, and can't even think of a middle name to go (one which isn't uber popular), love Rose but feel it's far too common these days especially with Bella/Layla.

Any thoughts appreciated.

First off, well done for thinking of the name on a grown woman [medal]

Bella and Leila (as I'd spell it) are both very acceptable for a grownup and not crashingly popular.

There are quite a few classic single syllables out there for middle names - Grace, Joy, even Jane (Bella Jane is very good).

[SuperBeagle]

I love all of them except Indie.

I substantially prefer the spelling Layla as it's the closest to the word from which its derived, it's the spelling used in the story of Layla and the Majnun and it has the Eric Clapton/Derek and the Dominos song association.

I think all would work for an adult. You could use something like Arabella if you wanted a longer name for Bella? Layla is a name that goes back centuries, so I wouldn't worry about that one; and Violet is a "granny chic" name, so again, wouldn't worry too much about that one!

I think Indie sounds quite nicknamey, but I know several baby Indies whose names aren't short for anything.

Bella is my favourite (not keen on any longer names that end Bella, as I whole want to call her Bella anyway so seems pointless), but like Violet too, do you think Bella Violet goes?

[SuperBeagle]

Bella Violet is so beautiful. I love it.

[supersix]

Love Bella Violet. That's beautiful.

I love Bella.

Alice
Faye
Pippa
Annie
Lois
Eve

[Topkat9]

Thanks cherryontop those are some lovely names, love Faye but doesn't go with my surname and I like Eve, but am conscious on what the initials spell out if I went with Bella and then chose an A or an E middle name, BAD or BED.

Laila and Violet are the nicest.
Laila Mae
Laila Grace
Laila Beth
Laila Belle
Laila Jasmine
Laila Skye
Violet Aurora
Violet Sophia
Violet Isabelle

Bella Violet or Bella Jasmine.

[ZuzuMyLittleGingersnap]

Hope is a great middle name?

[ZuzuMyLittleGingersnap]

^ Oops, missed your update post, OP!

Yes, Bella Violet combines nicely, IMO.

Violet is my favourite

[Topkat9]

Think I am going for Bella, it's just the middle name I am undecided on as would like some classic to complement it.

[Ropsleybunny]

Isabella or Isabelle is lovely. Bella is more of a dog's name.

[Topkat9]

Haha I find it strange when people say this as most people these days name dogs human names not vice versa.

I think Bella Violet is beautiful. How about

Bella Rose(mary)
Bella May
Bella Charlotte
Bella Fearne
Bella Grace
