Girls names - looking for inspiration!

We have a boys name lined up from last time, but can’t decide on a name for a possible DD2.

I have a very boring first name, and DH has an even more boring surname, so I’m leaning towards something out of the top 10.

Currently on my list:
Juno
Petra
Hester
Luna
Vivenne
Mariam
Zelda
Robyn

But not 100% sold on any of them. DD1 is Astrid.

Inspire me!!

Vivienne is horrendous I don’t know why people like it here.

Actually Astrid and Sidra is probably a bit of a mouthful. Nice that they share the star meaning though.

ErrantBakedBean · 09/05/2018 19:02

Love Petra - have only ever met one (she would be about 17 now). Hester is great too. Luna is pretty but very popular compared to the rest of your list.

Iselda
Oula
Sidra
Tova
Elora
Osha

Albertine, Bertie for short.

Astrid and Zelda go very well together.

I love Hester. So pretty and yet unusual. I like Isolde too. Also Iseult.

Helle is super cute!! I love the Norse names

AnyaMoondial · 06/05/2018 13:24

Petra is lovely! I also really like Vivienne

Naberes · 06/05/2018 11:12

Morven and Isolde are both awesome!

I especially like Morven as a sister to Astrid.

How do you feel about Merryn?

DollyDayScream · 06/05/2018 11:12

Hester is lovely:

Cosmoa · 06/05/2018 11:07

Don't like Isolde as it looks nicer than it sounds. And also sounds like 'I sold her' or 'Is Older'

How about... (a bunch of my suggestions are above already!)

Astraea
Phaedra
Cataleya (cat-ah-lay-ah)
Saskia
Koa
Marley
Kalea/Kaléa (ka-lee-ah/ka-lay-ah)
Sakura
Acacia
Cassia
Noa

Good luck choosing! It can be tough. I too have a boring/common first and last name so my little girl is getting something hardly anyone has heard of! Smile

Thanks so much for all the suggestions (and reassuring me my taste isn’t completely terrible!). I especially like Helle, Hebe and Cleo.

What do people think about Morven or Isolde?
