We've found that most of the names we think are pretty for a girl have got really popular eg Isabelle/Isabella, Liliana, Emilia. I like Marianna, but that's my goddaughter. Baby due in 10 days and we're still undecided. Any thoughts? I love Rosalie and other 'Rose' variants but DH doesn't. Thanks for inspiration x

Róisín is Irish for rose
Marguerite - not rose themed but flower at least
Violet?

Bianca. There's a name you don't hear very often...

Thanks! Some nice names here.

Love Angelica, but don't know what it'd be shortened too. And is it too angelic a combo with her brother Gabriel?!

I like Christobel, but not keen on Chris as nn.

Marielle/Mariella and Celeste very pretty too.

farmerswife you've listed some of the most popular, over-used names there are.
Daisy, Poppy, Lily.
I'd avoid names in the Top 50 if you don't want there to be multiple girls with the same name in their school.

I like:
Lyra
Romilly
Ariadne
