Estella/Estrella & Seren both mean star. Pretty and Christmassy in a subtle way.

Hmm, Pearl and Clementine are lovely and have been on my lists before...I'm going to reconsider those...

No to Christian themes,I'm an atheist.And some P names are tricky with our surname.Lots of the other names are perfectly nice,but too popular for us. Also I over think things,so I love Ivy,but someone mentioned I.V lines and now that's all I can hear, Iris I just think of eyeballs.

Ugh,this baby is Never going g to get a name.
