Daughter still has no name!

DD1 was born on Sunday and still has no name. The more I concentrate on naming her the more confused and unsure I am! DH has decided I can have the final say, tbh I'm annoyed with him as if he'd discussed this sensibly whilst I was pregnant we'd have a name by now.

On the shortlist is:

Cecily
Kitty
Ianthe
Isadora
Theda
Saoirse (DH is Irish and DS also has an Irish name)

Which do people like the best? I'm not putting it to the MN vote but feel like I'm going around in circles and can't imagine her called any of these names! Not asking family for feedback, my mum is far too nosy and MIL actually sent a list of suggestions earlier on today! Thanks

Cecily

Cecily is just lovely, cool classic, not over used.

I like Isadora too, but not keen on Isa or Dora as nn.

Kitty is cute as a nn for Katherine but not keen on it otherwise.

Isadora

Cecily or cecille

Cecily!

Saoirse is my absolute favorite and was top of my list for DS2.

So so pretty!

I like Isodora and kitty the best! Sorry I think Saoirse is such a harsh/ hard name for a young girl

margaritasbythesea · 28/07/2016 18:49

I love Cecily. Very pretty.

Beanzmeanzcoffee · 28/07/2016 18:48

I love Isadora. Unusual but not weird. Hmm but bare in mind Dora (the explorer) and finding dory. Wouldn't bother me though.
Saoirse is lovely but uncommon outside or Ireland-I think she'd have a lifetime of explaining it to people.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 28/07/2016 18:47

I love Kitty, one of my favourite names.

I also love Isadora who could be Izzie or Dora if liked

StrawberrytallCake · 28/07/2016 18:46

Ianthe

Can't say Isadora without singing Wizadora.

MidnightVelvettheSixth · 28/07/2016 18:46

I'd avoid the Irish one if you are not in Ireland as she will have a lifetime of saying 'no, not Say Horsey' to people when its written down.

I like Kitty & its not on your list but Thea, can be pronounced Thea to rhyme with ear or Thea to rhyme with sayer.

Saoirse
