Oh, and we also shortlisted Margot and Cecilia if that helps at all.

Swearwolf · 20/05/2017 08:40

Nora is really nice! But I have to add a vote for sylvie, it's my youngest's name and I really love it, it suits her so well and has had so many compliments

I know 2 Anyas but both children of friends so couldn't call her that. 2 Eliza's and 5 Freya's! All beautiful names

Amazed that you know so many girls called Anya. My DGD is 17 so been in school for 12 years and has never come across another girl with the same name. She is in a lot of clubs and dramatic societies and still no Anyas - neither does it appear in the long lists provided for this thread. I know one or two Freyas and Eliza could be shortened to Ellie/Ella and there are definitely loads of those!

Love Anya, Freya and Eliza but know too many children with those names! Clementine is going on the list, along with a few others. Pleased that Nora is getting a good response, I thought everyone would hate it!

Nora/Norah is top of our list if we have another girl. We currently have a Hazel and have considered Rosalie too.

Catrina1234 · 17/05/2017 12:47

No one has mentioned my beautiful grand-daughter's name............ANYA. Very unusual and pretty.

Willa
Rosie

I love Tess as well, I find it a bit hard to imagine a baby Tess though, a teenage Tess definitely
