Baby girl name thoughts

Hi all,

This is my first time posting, however I have been a stalker of the site for many years. I am finally pregnant (albeit very early days) but am already thinking of names for little one. We have almost agreed on a potential boy name but girls are seeming more difficult.

My partner and his family have very unusual/uncommon names, I do like this, however also want to choose a name that is wearable and suitable for all ages.

We like Winter nn Winnie although I’m worried how this would be perceived on a baby born in spring?! I also like Cleo, Effie and Ivy. Partner is very keen on Navy but I feel this is too far.

Opinions and suggestions of similar styled names would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance:)

I love Cleo.
'Winter' for a Spring baby? It's okay, but Im not crazy about it
Navy sounds like a boy's name, if it's being used as a name. Wouldn't use it.

Navy is a beautiful name! I've never heard it before but it's stunning

Lovely names! I’m not massively keen on Winnie, this will sound strange but I always think Winnie the witch? Ivy’s really sweet. Not massively into Cleo and Effie is also sweet.

What about Marnie? Or Lennie? I’m pregnant with #2, we don’t know the sex yet but if it’s a girl I’ll probably go for Nancy. It’s my absolute fave girls name!
