Hit me with your best ones!

We have three girls already which is making it very hard to choose and we only have a few weeks to go Grin

We have absolutely no contenders as we can't agree on anything!

So far I have been vetoed on:

Meryn
Halle
Marin
Ellis
Petra
Quinn

But those are the sorts of names I like if it helps...

Kezia also lovely but probably 3 syllables and almost irresistible to call Kezzie!

I think there are several versions of Katja/Katya/Katia/Catia. We have a Katja and pronounce it with just 2 syllables ie Ka Ch. People do call her Ka T uh and other variations. She tells me no-one has shortened it to Kat yet though. Maybe secondary school might change that!

Elfie is adorable! Not sure about on a grown up though but such a lovely name for a small person.

I've loved Lotte but dislike Charlie and Lola so much now I couldn't bring myself to use it!

We like Katja quite a lot, Erin we've wondered about but know a few, Heidi, Freya and Margo we like a lot but think they might be too popular. No offence to anyone who's DC has the names by the way!!

Thanks court, we have a Darcy!

Miaow, thanks, Robyn was also vetoed some time ago...

DH has suggested Saba or Sabine. I'm musing...
