Girls name help!

I’ve got 2 weeks left to name baby girl. Ive trawled through thousands of names and can’t find the one.

Some I’ve liked but ruled out are;

Harriet- too similar to sibling name
Isla- too popular
Iris- DH doesn’t like
Phoebe- like but can’t make myself love it
Erin- like but know another Erin that isn’t a nice person and it just makes me think of them!

I want something classic and that is a normal known name, but not too popular.

Please help! I’m getting desperate.

Pippa? you mentioned liking Phillipa so wondered if Pippa would suit.

My first thought was Alice but see you have it on and off!

good luck!

I like Harriet, Phoebe, Isla and Erin, but I ADORE Iris! I vote for Iris for sure! How about:

Wren
Alice
Ava
Zoe
Hazel
Mabel
Eliza
Evelyn
Molly

Personal view- Rosanna definitely better than Rosetta. I too immediately thought of Rosetta Stone language courses.
But if you like Rosie names how about Rosalind or Rosamund; pretty, classic but not frilly. And easy to shorten without going off the rails....

I like Robin for a boy but not keen for a girl.

I still have no idea- hoping one of the names will just suit her and I will know that’s the right one! I really would like her to be named within a few hours of being born though. I don’t like babies leaving hospital without names.

I think Robyn is really pretty. A well known name that's not too popular Smile

I like Loretta and Colette

If my DS had been a girl he would have been 'Addison'.

I know it's not a normal or classic name, DH and I both felt the same as you before DS was born but couldn't agree on any other girl's name but had a boy's list as long as your arm!! Good luck!! 😊

@Twisique yes I’ve considered Carlotta, I’m not sure though.

I am aware I’m incredibly picky! I wasn’t this indecisive with DS’s name so no idea why I’m struggling so much this time round.
