We have managed to short list the below but would like to know your thoughts please or other suggestions. We have a 4 syllable surname so have been looking at shorter names. DH is Irish and favours Orla from the list below. Let me know what you think:

Orla
Iona
Eva
Claudia
Diana
Ines
Maria
Rosa

Claudia is lovely

Oral just makes me think oral Confused

It's crazy to say you can't use Orla if you are not irish, my names from the old testament and I'm not a hebrew

29Palms · 17/06/2017 01:58

Diana!
Classical and elegant. Never in or out of fashion, so it doesn't date.

squoosh · 17/06/2017 00:35

Orla sounds a bit strange when said by English people. I love Claudia from your list.

BlondeGinger · 17/06/2017 00:02

Ines and Claudia are my favourites (Ines is one of my all time favourites) but I think I like Diana as a middle name too.

rhodes2015 · 17/06/2017 00:00

Orla is gorgeous!!

Ohmyfuck · 16/06/2017 23:52

Orla is a beautiful name. X

blahthisistoohard · 16/06/2017 23:30

What about Aoife as an alternative to Eva? I love that name but sadly we're not Irish enough to pull it off.

I like Rosa from your list as well

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 16/06/2017 23:01

Ines Diana
Maria Ines

countycouncil · 16/06/2017 23:01

Fantastic list. I'd say Orla (once your accent lends itself to the name) or Claudia.

mummytobemaybe · 16/06/2017 22:46

Orla, Eva and Rosa are my favourite

Muumi3 · 16/06/2017 22:31

I've always loved Iona, just don't think I'd be brave enough to use it

FreckledFrog · 16/06/2017 22:25
