Our baby is arriving tomorrow and we don’t know the gender. We’ve got a short list for boys but really undecided on girls. Any suggestions based on this list or opinions on these names? Not sure if “the one” is on here!

Ada
Celeste
Cora
Edith
Elodie
Evelina
Iris
Ivy
Lena
Mabel
Neve
Niamh
Tess

Ivy is my favourite from your list

All usable and lovely - though my personal favourite is Niamh!

I would maybe narrow it down to:
Niamh
Cora
Elodie
Iris

Wait and see when he/she is here. Congratulations!

I love Edith. It's so classy yet friendly sounding and Edie is cute as a nn. Have you considered Meredith?

Also like Iris and Mabel. Niamh is nice too. This spelling only

I know quite a few baby Elodie's if popularity is going to bother you

Really not a fan of Cora

Love Elodie and Tess

They're all lovely. I'd say, at this point, wait until he or she is here and then see what he or she looks like. Then, if you still have more than one name in mind, spend a day calling baby them and see which feels more natural.

It took us a week to name DD, don't panic. Good luck!
