I have a Charlie so would prefer to avoid an 'ee' sound at the end, but am flexible.
Baby will have a surname begining with R, quite long.

Names we have currently;
Darcy (DP's fave)
Phoebe
Ella

Nice names, but don't Darcy and Phoebe both have the potential for the ee sound at the end?

yes they do, but I am really struggling to find any I like that don't!
What about Hope? Is that corny?

DP has said no to Eve but I do really like it.
My Aunt had a dog called Bella so that's a no-go, not keen on Leah.

Cleo, Ava and Mimi are cool, and I like Georgia too, just found that on a list I started!
Not sure about boys either, but need a list of girls names I like as I really struggle with them!

Honor and Frances are just fantastic names. Classic, timeless and beautiful. There won't be any others in their class.

I love Francesca for a girl. My cousin has just had a girl and named it Lorna, which is nice and quite unusual out of Scotland.

Olivia? Could be shortened to Liv/Livvy (if you wanted to....)
I see no-one has mentioned Lola!
Sorry

My friend has an Honor Alice, which is lovely. Also completely love Ava. I have a Charlie and a Lily and the two "ee" sounds don't really seem to matter but I see what you mean. All the flower names are nice. I'd avoid Ella although it is very pretty because there just loads of Ellie/Ella/Lily/Lola type names around at the moment. Yes Darc(e)y nice - does it sound American? I like Phoebe too though perhaps it has been "done". Sorry, not helping!
