Name changed so I can't be outed!

I can't find a girls name I like. I find boys names much easier. Currently pregnant but not due until February so a bit of time.

Will be sibling to Rupert and Grace. Has cousins Alice, Phoebe and George which are names I like but can't obviously can't use.

If it is a boy we will go for Oscar James. Other names we liked were Finn, Ben, Theo and Felix.

That should give you a good idea of our taste. We don't like anything too unusual. I prefer short, classical names. I don't like shortening names to nicknames, I'd rather go with the shorter version. We aren't posh but live in a nice rural village in Surrey.

Please don't out me if you recognise me!

Please don't be offended, the following are names we've discarded and why:

Emily, Lucy, Sophie, Kate, Chloe - bit boring

Charlotte, Henrietta, Tabitha, Beatrice too long.

Poppy, Lily, Daisy - not keen on flower names.

Thea - really like but feels incomplete.

We're not going to find a name we like are we?

As you like Thea, how about using it as a short form of Dorothea?

Otherwise

Mary, Anna, Laura, Clara, Heidi, Pippa, Selina
