Baby no name!

Help me name my baby. She arrived last night, fully expecting a little baby boy Ted so a bit thrown at having to name a girl.

Thoughts:

Daisy (this was number one throughout pregnancy but just not sure if it's right now she's here)
Joni
Juno
Nancy

Short seems to be good. There's an L in the middle of our surname so anything with an L in the middle/end of the first name ends up a bit lalala.

DH would like if there was a literary or musical reference. I like flower names (but not the obvious Lily, Rose etc).

We decided on little Joni Matilda Smile

Listening to Joni Mitchell and crying my eyes out at my beautiful baby might've had something to do with it!

Nothing as exciting as a misdiagnosed gender, just a family full of boys!
