Hi, my husband and I are expecting our first baby girl and are stuck for a name. We seem fixated on one but celebs knabbed it which means it's not out but a dampner iyswim. We are both alternative so would love a dark name that's beautiful. Surname is spelt differently but same as Kirstie from location.

So far we have

Luna Fae (fairy in French)
Luna Celeste
Serephina

Undecided on Tabitha (is it cats name?), Willow (what if they are not svelte? Like naming a weedy boy Thor iyswim).

Love but can't have Lily or Violet (already in use), Persephone (too close to mine by sound) and Wednesday is bit try too hard but could be a middle name if she's born on a Wednesday ;-)

All ears if anyone has any ideas. Don't mind more out there names/ spiritual/ natural or unisex names.

Ah just reread your op - Auva and Oula would probably need a second name in between them and your surname!

She will only be known by her first name, not her middle name, and Luna is a bit Harry Potter and popular right now. Everyone will think you named her after the girl in Harry Potter.

Serephina is lovely but a mouthful so will be shortened. She will be known as ser or phina. Which are much less beautiful.
