Totally confused, can you suggest girls names based in my boys list?

I thought I had decided on Kitty or Polly but now I'm not feeling so certain. I feel like I really have considered everything.

Criteria is loosely, two syllables, quirky but not batshit crazy to go with ds Eli. Also I generally don't love biblical girls names but do like biblical boys names (I know I'm awkward)

The boys names I like for this dc are

Ezra
Arlo
Asa
Jude

Please HELP

DitzyDonkey have you tried baby name sites that give meanings, origins and suggestions for siblings and middle names that go well together? This really helped me and DP out even though we finally settled on the name I have always wanted for a DS (after first DS turned out to be a DD lol) When she was born I wanted her to be a Daniel, Michael or a Matthew, obviously none of those were quite suitable. I didn't want to go with anything too similar to those names in consideration of the future and having a Michaela and Michael would have been weird. I will go and look for the site I used, and it suggests opposite gender names based on the ones you already like, so if you wanted to keep your boy name options open for a possible DS2 then they won't clash :)

I adore all of the names you've listed Ditzy - they were all on my short list for both DC! I think I've replied to one of your threads before? I'm on the iPhone though & have no clue how to check, so apologies for any repeats ...

Kitty & Polly are both amazing. Kit is short for Christopher, so there's no reason you couldn't use a longer name (Christine, christienne, christabel, Kristen etc) and use Kitty as a nn if you felt you wanted a longer name but didn't want to go for Katherine.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

Unfortunately or fortunately Grin I don't love anything as much as Kitty. I think I'm letting too many people's opinions cloud my own judgement and personal taste.

Ooh love Rosa. That sounds fab with Eli. Others ideas- Anya, Flora, Esme, Freya.

You might be listening to your mum after all then! I did and she was right in the end!! She probably knows you better than anyone!
