Help - I hate all girl's names!

I've been through the baby name book from beginning to end and not a single girl's name really appeals to me (conversely I have plenty of boy's names shortlisted).

The closest I've got to names I like are Ada, Erin, Robin. Names which are strong, not fussy a bit like boy's names

I really don't like common names like Clare, Sarah, Liz
Or long fussy names (anything with three or more syllables is out unless there is a strong nn).

Any ideas?

I was the opposite - I found boys names dull and uninspiring compare to girls.

How about Clara, Elle, Kate, Rowan.

Also, I don't think you'll find Clare, Liz and Sarah at all popular within toddler circles!

Rowan
Alexandra

I found girls names so much harder than boys!
How about: Harriet (nn Harry), Hetty, Jo, Anna, Sam (Samantha), Nancy, Jenna, Mia, Bea.

Or Mickey/ Mickie

What about 'boys' names that are also girls names, like Billie?

Make one up!

I like Reese for a girl.

The possibilities are endless if you're making one up though :)
