What potential quirky baby names could I call my potential DD?

Hi all, I'm a teen who is currently expecting. My baby reveal is in a few months and although I'm fixed on calling my potential DS Matthew, like his father, I have no idea what to call my potential DD! Confused But I want it to be creative and quirky, any ideas?
So far I've got :

  • Oceania
  • Arielle-Sky
-Asia-Mae

really thankful for these constructive critcisms, but still would love quirky name suggestions suited for all ages. And any other DS names?

Persphone reminds me of pheromones for some reason OP. In my opinion Asia is much prettier but Mae is very overused as a second/middle name.

I'm sure people don't mean to be patronising OP but just try to remember that your baby will eventually grow up and while one of the names you suggested sound really cute for a wee girl, they're perhaps less so for a woman in her 20s/30s with a career who is trying to be taken seriously. Sorry!

Asia-Mae is my favourite from your list.

Arielle kind of reminds me of Areola Blush

really appreciating the support but feeling a bit patronised by what I presume to be older mothers. I'm a creative person and quite mature for my age. Swaying towards Asia-Mae, but also love Persphone, the powerful Greek Goddess name Grin

I'm ignoring the girl's name just to sa6dont give any baby boy the same name as his father.
It's so unoriginal and it gets confusing when child becomes an adult.

Let's hope it's a boy then.

Remember you're naming a woman, not a tiny baby girlie.

I like Asia-Mae. If you like place names there are quite a few but I think Asia is nice. My name has a lot of meaning and is really unique. Growing up I kind of didn’t like it because I’m quite a bit older and unusual names never really happened back then but now that I’m older I really like it and really like the fact it wasn’t just picked at random and it’s mine. If there is one with more meaning I would choose that but babies always make their name their own in the end anyways. Good luck and congratulations!
