Here's the shortlist of baby names I'm considering that I generated with Mumsnet's Baby Name Finder. Let me know what you think.

Girls
Amelia
Ava
Catriona
Dahlia
Estelle
Esther
Eva
Eve
Iris
Isla
Ivy
Lydia
Marina
Marlena
Marnie
Mathilda
Sasha
Stella

Atm, Marina or Marnie are front runners although also loking Sasha. Don't want anything too popular... Any thoughts most welcome!

Thanks all! Am finding it really hard to decide, as just as I decide I like a name I go off it... Confused

Well that's the thing - it's short for Marina. I have a friend of a friend who I rarely see with a baby called Marnie, but I quite like the idea of Marina as a first name but Marnie as NN. Don't remember reading the book and may avoid the film!!
