We’re due our second daughter soon and finding choosing the perfect name so difficult!
We like short names (2 syllables maximum) and nothing that gets shortened too a nickname. We also looking for something outside of the top uk 40.

Our shortlist so far:
Vienna
Indie (not sure if it’s a strong enough name for an adult)
Luna (maybe too popular?)

Any thoughts on these names? Open to new suggestions!

Or Alice if you didn't want another 'M' name.

Thanks for the suggestions of longer names for Indie.. which I do like!
The problem is I’ve got a name which has been shortened to my nn my whole life and I hate having 2 names. x

Of your list, I like Indie (could be something like Indiana or Indigo, with Indie for short).

I know a Marnie with a sister called Marigold. They call her Goldie for short. Marnie and Goldie (or Marnie and Marigold). Sounds great!

My Indie is short for India?
I know you said you didn’t like shortened names but I also like Marnie so thought you may x

Vienna is three syllables, what about Viola? I think it's a prettier name and would avoid any future joke-potential about the city/canals/gondolas

How about Ellie?
