I started a thread about Indie, and have decided that if we go for Indie she will be Indie as a full name.
These are our other options. I realise they are not to everyone's taste, but we've realised after months of agonising that we don't really like traditional names.
Kaia (pronounced K-eye-ah) has links to Hawaii (Kai is Hawaiian for sea) which we like as we have family there.
Posy I just think is adorable and love the nickname Po. I could imagine an adult Posy too.
Opinions welcome!

Kaia is lovely and not difficult to pronounce. Posy I also like and although you will have people telling you it is not an adult name like you I can completely see it as one. Indie I am not so keen on as a standalone name, partly because I have a male relative who is called that perhaps and partly because to me it just feels more like a nickname. Just my opinion of course.

I absolutely love Indie. Was my choice if our baby was a girl. I think it’s a beautiful name.

I wouldn’t give a child a name that no one could spell or pronounce. They’ll spend the rest of their lives correcting people, very tedious.

Indie is the nickname given to Indiana Jones by the little boy sidekick. Such an odd choice for a little girl.
Kaia is gorgeous. Willow is one fo my favourite films and has a lovely character called Kaia in it. It's such a pleasant sound as well as a positive association.
Posy: in a world with so many little Rosies it wlll fit well with her peers without being too samey.
So, Kaia, Posy, Indie in that order of preference.
