So we are having our 4th DC (and last!) and we are struggling to find a name for this little girl.

Other DC are:
Erich, Liam and Lorelai

I would like a non top 50 name that is feminine and quirky. DH isn't really bothered to try and come up with anything but certainly will veto the ones he doesn't like (so he's very unhelpful). I am originally from the US as well so hoping to find something that could work for both countries.

So far DH hasn't hated:
Annalise /Annalyse (not sold on spelling yet)
River
Antigone
Willow (actually DH says this makes him think of Warwick Davis but I'm hoping to swing him round)

Would love opinions on these names or suggestions on others we might not have thought of yet.

Aw I know. poor Antigone... Grin

TBF though- we did name DD after a mythical siren that destroyed ships on a German river. Ultimately she ended up throwing herself into the water and dying depending on the version. Bit tragic too.

Or there's Quklowii (from another thread)

pronounced Chloe

Analyse would be another spelling Smile

don't do it

Annalise is nice, or Annelise nicer

River is quite nice

Please don't call your DD Antigone.

There are various versions of her story in Classical literature but none of them end well for poor Antigone.

Tahnee
Saffron
Jacinta

(I prefer Annalise spelling and I have come across a few Willows at baby groups)

Nemesis. You'd have to be pretty brave though Grin
