I seriously need some help with baby girl names, I'm currently 19 weeks and me and my DH have come up with Winston for a boy which we are pretty set on, however we really clash with girl's names and can't agree on anything. I know I have a while left and have gender reveal next week (hopefully) but just wondering if anyone has opinions on my favourite names... Middle name will most probably be Nesta after my late great grandmother.

So my top picks are;

Romilly
Aurelia (is this really common now, I liked it since Love, Actually)
Dorothea
Sylvia
Emmeline (centenary year of suffrage?)
Hallie
Serena
Olive
June

Hoping someone can come up with a reason why one of these is stunning to convince my husband, he wants to name the baby after me.. Danielle.. I don't think so.

If you're going with a Pankhurst go Sylvia over Emmeline.

Winston is an excellent choice.
Romilly - not keen. Was he a First World War General or something?
Aurelia (is this really common now, I liked it since Love, Actually) - it's ok, a bit long. Would get shortened but what to?
Dorothea - Prefer Dorothy and love Dot.
Sylvia - yuk
Emmeline (centenary year of suffrage?) - she'll be one of many.
Hallie - comet is Halley's
Serena - lovely, but there's Ms Williams
Olive - not keen. It just makes me think of oil.
June - no.

Emmeline is lovely.

Definitely not Olive.

I like Romilly and Aurelia.
I've heard of the odd Aurelia but its not that popular. I love the meaning.
