We know we are having a girl (DC2). DH would like a shortlist that we choose when she is here (I am 37 weeks). I think that is bit odd as all newborns look the same to me!
Anyway, I thought we had it sorted and our favourite name was Lucy. However as the end approaches it doesn't feel right anymore, maybe a bit dull? Or not strong enough? Plus we used to have a cat called Lucy so I know we are going to face resistance from parents/family.
Evelyn was a strong contender, it was my Grandmother's name. But I think it is too formal or old for a small child/baby, and worry that Eve is too popular.
Then there is Amber, Freya and Lyra. All of which I like but not sure "a" and "er" names go well with our surname (which ends in "er").
What I am looking for, but can't seem to find is a strong name, not too popular, but has to be "normal"! Dh won't tolerate anything that isn't traditional/normal.
HELP!
