Would love to hear as everyone has very different taste!

Fenella, Coco, Sylvie, Ottilie.
Have loved the name Finnavear since I was a teen but I’m not sure I could have ever actually used it.
Phylida is another one I love.

Jacqueline. Sylvia. Gloria.

The 'mealy' sound in names is awful though! (Emilia etc)

Sophie/Sophia.

Perfect name. Strong, elegant, great meaning, easy to pronounce and spell, travels well.

I have a dd and she is called something else, which I also love. Partly because Sophie/Sophia are deservedly so popular. But partly because what we ended up calling her was just so right.

monsieurmarius · 17/07/2019 22:02

Also Emilia for me bizarrely! Picked it out 15 years ago as a kid and it's never changed

MrsSiriusBlack1 · 17/07/2019 21:55

Emilia

Jellystars · 17/07/2019 21:53

Daisy but my DP doesn’t like it.

missmouse101 · 17/07/2019 21:32

Sasha, Fern, Emerald, Lowri!

Lydia.

I can't believe no-one has said that yet!

HerculePoirotsGreyCells · 17/07/2019 21:27

Clementine, Matilda and Genevieve (but pronounced John-vee-airve)

ThatCurlyGirl · 17/07/2019 21:26

Ooh Penelope is a great shout - I love Penny as a nickname. Also criminal minds character association is another plus!

I love Peggy too and recently heard it used to be a nickname for Margaret?! Which for political reasons my family would be VERY unhappy with 😂

But Peggy is gorgeous and a lovely first name without needing a longer version I think. Makes me think fondly of Peggy Patch Smile

Alice. Emma. Beth. Joy. Harriet.

Lessstressedhemum · 17/07/2019 21:10

Grainne, Alathea, Mab. All three vetoed by dh, sadly.

boosterrooster · 17/07/2019 21:10

Savannah. I just think it's beautiful and suits all ages but DH not keen

We're going with Thea if it's a girl 💕
