Found out we're having a girl - overjoyed but now comes along the endless choice from so many names. I like unusual/uncommon but easily spelt/pronounced names. Have a very bog standard surname which goes with everything. Here are some that I like - opinions please and would welcome other suggestions

Sadie
Claudia
Juliet
Sylvia
Veronica
Arietta
Allegra
Alba
Delila
Elsa
Monica
Lana

Sylvia
Juliet
Vanessa

The only ones I am not keen on are Claudia, Arietta and Veronica.

Sylvia is my favourite. Love that name.

Just to add, I'm not keen on Delila but I think Lila by itself is a lovely name Smile

The only names I like on your list are Elsa and Lana.

But Elsa is risky because of the association with Frozen.

And Lana is anal spelled backwards Hmm

I can freely admit though that I am not a fan of "unusual" names!

From your list I like Sadie, Juliet and Sylvia.

How about Marianne, Helena, Enid, Frieda, Rachel, Suzanne?

Love Sadie (my mum's name!)

How about Mabel?

I absolutely adore Juliet and therefore refuse to look at the rest of your list Grin

I also love Annabel and Annaliese - any good?
