So far we have
Cora

Libby
Lydia
Lucy
Harriet
Clara

Any thoughts? None of them seem like “the one” so I’d also love any suggestions

Does anyone call their daughter Liberty?

I love love Lydia and Harriet. They were both on my shortlist. Other suggestions: Tabitha, Matilda, Alice, Eden, Anna.

Cora - like a lot
Leila - it's pretty common in certain cultures so a bit dull to me
Cleo - don't like
Libby - fine as a diminutive of Elizabeth/Liberty
Lydia - love
Lucy - a bit bland but inoffensive
Harriet - don't like
Clara - fine
Penelope - don't like
Phoebe - love

Cora - really like this name
Leila - quite like it
Cleo - ok, seems to suit a child better than an adult for me; sounds a bit like the name of the car
Libby - love this as a nickname, but it should be short for Elizabeth, Liberty or Olivia in my opinion
Lydia - beautiful and classic, one of my all time favourites
Lucy - lovely
Harriet - lovely
Clara - not my favourite
Penelope - I just irrationally don't like this name (and I hate Penny as a nn)
Phoebe - to me it suits a child better than a professional adult.

My favourites are Lydia, Libby short for Elizabeth, Lucy, Harriet and Cora.
