Hi all,
I'm 20 weeks pregnant and we found out at the scan this week we're having a little girl! We're over the moon and so excited as we already have a little boy so will be lovely to have one of each.
We named our son Daley as we wanted something unusual which we're unlikely to come across when he goes to school etc. We absolutely love the name and it's perfect for him.
We want an equally unusual name for our little girl, but a beautiful and either girly or American-sounding name if possible. We had Leia at the top of our list last time if we were having a girl but I'm not 100% on it anymore. We have a few other names we like but can't really agree on one together and don't feel as though we've found 'the one' yet.
Any suggestions welcome please - something unusual and pretty.
Thank you! xx

All names of girls I know here in US. Missy is usually short for something - I know a Mary called Missy.

Not Erin, I know thousands who are about 9. That may be an exaggeration, but many.

You'd be unlikely to find a Sarah, Rebecca or Karen on a primary school roll these days.
