Our baby girl was born prematurely by emergency c/s 10 days ago and she doesn't have a name yet. I'm feeling the pressure with everyone asking but am not sure about my shortlist any more and can't agree on one with DH.

I like 2 syllable names ending with an 'a' or 'e' sound, we have Poppy and Theo already. Also like Greek names. I think she needs a strong name. Surname is one syllable starting with 'W'. On our shortlist are:
Alice - my Grandma's name (maybe good as a middle name?)
Juno - does 'o' ending work with Theo? Are we brave enough
Phoebe
Bonnie
Sylvie - DH's favourite
Gracie
Orla
Cassia
Ariel
Florence
Iris

I would really appreciate some thoughts on our list and/or new inspiration. Thanks!

Poppy, Theo and Sylvie is a lovely set of names.

I also really like Poppy, Theo and Iris.

Congratulations!

Sylvie is brilliant.

How about Rosa?

With your other DC's names I like Florence, Alice and Cassia. Not keen on the others.

Congratulations on your new baby!

Isobel? Izzy for short

I have always loved Georgina

Lovely list. I would probably personally go for Phoebe Alice W.....

Poppy, Theo, and Phoebe sound cute together IMO.

Congratulations.
From your list Sylvie is nice. Probably my favourite and it goes well with your other children’s names.

Congratulations OP! I really like Juno, Sylvie and Florence although all your names are lovely. Probably my least favourite is Gracie.
