hi AGAIN I know I keep creating threads but I just want to find a nice name for DD which is due soon.
(last thread was on name Isabella).
our (final) shortlist is:

Isabella
Etta
Mila
Josephine
Callie

I'm really not sure which one I prefer. I LOVE Isabella but am looking for something I bit more original and not dated so not sure thats the right way to go.

anyway what do you think of these names? which is your favourite? and why?

thank you so much :) I promise this will be the last thread!

Etta reminds me of the terrorist group ETA. With mila I don’t like the ‘eel’ sound.
Callie sounds like a nickname although I know it is a flower
Isabella is beautiful too but I’d pick Josephine

Josephine. Absolute classic and so beautiful

Mila. It sounds lovely, is unique (have never seen 2 Milas in one class) but is not difficult to spell/pronounce etc. I know a lovely little girl called Mila and she is so bubbly and happy, which may be why i'm so fond of it!
