Baby girl due in September. Initially I wanted names like Francesca, Tabitha, Theodora, Cecilia... I love them all but DH ruled them all out because they sound "too fussy".

Our shortlist now looks like this:

Etta, Nancy, Pearl - what else might I like?

Surname begins with R.

Erin or Eric/ka - (poss nn Rikki)
Ramona if it sounds ok with your surname - some alliterative names sound really cool, some quite cringey.

Other non-frilly girls names I like are Nina, Ruth, Martha, Kate, Zoe

Or you could have Frankie or Thea or Celia - less fussy versions of the names you love
