I'm imminently due my second daughter but my OH & I are struggling to stick on a name we love this time. We had Harriet for DD1 and decided on this fairly early. This time, it seems we can't agree and nothing jumping out! What do you think of our shortlist so far and any other suggestions welcome (please!) We have a short F surname and I like classic names that I could see on a 'cool indie chick' that aren't too popular

Iris - top choice at the mo, not heard of where we live
Hannah- like this but since we added to list have heard a lot
Edie- do like but would prefer as a nn (OH doesn't like Edith)
Beatrice - OH doesn't love (too royal!) but I love Bea (though maybe too short with our surname)

Thanks lovely mnet-ers. Love the suggestions you come up with on other boards, hoping with my specifics above you can help me too! :)

Ah yes, should have read your post properly!

Alice is lovely from your suggestions Loislines. Faye would be too alliterative with our surname though...

Iris and Beatrice are lovely. Not sure about Hannah with Harriet, but if the H H doesn't bother you then it does go well. I don't really like Edie on its own.
