Tigerlily is ace!! I can see why you like it. She could always use Lily. I'm sure lots will disagree. Our 2nd daughter has an unusual name but we've only had positive responses (to our face 😁) and we gave her a simple middle name in case she wants to use that in future. Currently she's very happy with her name now aged 4.

I quite like Tigerlily😄 I love Isabella and Isabelle but where I live it's so popular and I have a few relatives who have recently used the name too! Same with Isla, Eve and Elsie.

I really love Scarlett, Rosalie, Leah, Amalie and Mia is beautiful.

Charlotte, Hannah, Rachel, Rebecca and Elizabeth I find quite boring and old fashioned but that's just my opinion they are still quite popular.

I like Rosalie.

However, based on your love of Tigerlily and a bit more conventional you could consider:

Piper
Hazel
Luna
Cora
Pearl
Coralie
Willow
Juniper
Wren
Xenia

Ivy
Iris
Ida (my top choice if my 35 week bump was a girl)
I love the short ‘I’ names but not Isla as it’s sooo popular right now! Smile

I think Rachel or Rebecca would be a refreshing change now. I don't know any babies or children with these names.

Thanks - some food for thought there. Still can't decide though!

Ditch Tigerlily and Shoshanna, any of the rest would be OK.

Quite a list there. I think the best names are (not in any order):

Hannah
Mia
Scarlett
Charlotte
Rebecca

I like Josie as a shortening of Josephine, which is a beautiful name. Less keen on it as a stand-alone.
