Want a short but pretty girls name

My Dd is due in 6 weeks and DH and I cannot settle on a name for her.

I want something that isn’t top 10 and ideally is a one or two syllable name as we have quite a long surname.

Any ideas?

All too popular I think.

I grew up with a top 10 name. One of 2-3 in each primary class and one of 6 in secondary school year group. I’m Brno looking for “yoonique” just not quite so popular as my name was.

I have a Zoë an Erin and a Layla. They are the only ones in their year and I don’t think they are weird or unusual. Though it’s probably just luck in terms of others having the same name or not :)

DieCryHate · 19/10/2019 18:07

I think Mara is lovely.

I really like Mia or Laura if you fancy something more classic.

calilark · 19/10/2019 17:55

I have a Tessa. Tess on a daily basis. Have never met another one, not popular but not weird or made up.
