Baby names

Don't LOVE any girls names!

Due a girly in a few months, but I'm really struggling to find a name I absolutely love.
We have a DS Isaac. I quite like traditional names.
Was thinking along the lines of...
Sophie, Olivia, Isobel...

Maybe a quirkier middle name like Rae to balance the "boring" traditional first name.

Erghhh help! So hard! Any suggestions please?

I liked Isaac if we were to have a boy.

Girls names we liked:
Sophie
Clara
Anna
Eleanor
Lily
Lucy

I feel like we agreed on quite dull names but if that is the worst one can say it is not too bad.

If DS had been a girl we’d have called him Judith.

Sophie, Olivia, Isobel, Etta and Darcey are all lovely. My favourite is probably Isobel and least favourite is Olivia but I think they're all good choices.

Olivia, Isobel and Sophie are all nice (I do prefer Sophia too).
I think Etta is really sweet too and uncommon!
