Hello,
I really need some help narrowing down my shortlist. Am a bit stuck at the moment...baby girl due later this summer.

Looking for a name similar in vibe to brother Edmund George... With some strength but also romantic, traditional with a bit quirk yet not overly used.. Too much to ask haha?
Maybe a name that was popular at the same period? Modern names are fine too though. Just gotta find both me and DP love!

Our last name starts with W so I'd like to exclude names starting or ending with V (though I love Olive, Violet and Liv).
Also trying to avoid names with the same initial as her sibling, E.

So far I've got:

Top 3

Matilda
Rosa (family name)
Madeleine

Then:

Louise
Maisie (OH favorite)
Josephine
Margot / Margaux
Tess(a)
Juno (guilty pleasure)

What do you think of these?
Can you think of any others?

Many thanks!

Rosa or Matilda (Tilda?)

Edmund and Rosa would be lovely, I think. Your top three are all nice, although Matilda's quite popular. Josephine is wonderful, and I like Tess, too. How about Marianne, Caroline, Cora, Della, Leonora, Lydia, Julia, Celeste?
