Thanks for all your suggestions! Keep them coming Star
P.s. Rhubarbgin ~ I know, that's what I'm contemplating at the moment. Still, I don't want to name my child a 'normal' name which I don't like.

I'd go with Astrid. It's easy to pronounce. No weird spelling. Pretty and pretty meaning. Could be a princess or novelist or office worker etc. Classic.

From your list I'd go with Astrid, I know a preschool one. I didn't like it to start with but it's growing on me.
Don't pick Nuala if you're into pretty, unusual, fantasy type names. The only fantasy world Nuala indulges in is one in which she can tell your Ma if you've been talking to boys whilst wearing a too short skirt and listening to some new fangled pop music.

Nuala is my nan's name I adore it and it's so unusual

Report
SoyUnPerdedor2 · 21/07/2017 23:01

How is nuala pronounced?

I know a nala.
She is a quiet, gentle girl.

And I love phaedra.

Wish I had seen when naming my dd.
