So after deliberating and deliberating we decided our list was not working for us...has this happened to anyone else. We both sat down and just wrote out the names we really like this is what we came up with

Scarlett - is it too yesterday
Cordelia
Maeve
Cecily
Elodie
Rowan

Middle names we are thinking May (but not if we went with Maeve) and Rose
Other half and I do like Maeve but can't think of a middle name it goes with

Maeve is the best one imo. From the others I like Scarlett, Cecily and Elodie.

Middle names with Maeve: Luna, Iris, Ingrid, Elena, Hazel, Faith, Lilian, Christina, Rowan, Roisin (row-sheen), Catherine, Alannah?

Maeve followed by a longer, 'fussier' name would be gorgeous.

I absolutely adore Maeve. Contemplated it for dd1 many, many years ago and still sometimes think of it (although her name turned out to be perfect for her and I can't see her as a Maeve now!).

I live Rowan and like Elodie, not so keen on the others, although Cecily could be a grower.......I'm liking it more as I type
One of my daughter's middle names is Mae, I think May/Mae is a lovely middle name.

Scarlett - not overly keen but don't think it's 'yesterday'. Goes well with Rose.
Cordelia - bit fancy for fancy's sake to my ears. Goes well with Rose or May
Maeve - quite like it. Very unusual now. Middle name - Elise or Marie?
Cecily - it's ok. Goes well with Rose
Elodie - like it. Goes well with Rose
Rowan - like it. Not sure it goes with either Rose or May though.

I like Cecily Maeve

You have some really interesting names but I think adding May or Rose is doing them a disservice!
