Can't use
Eleanor
Elizabeth
Isobel
Lucy
Alice
Maria

All names I love and gutted I can't use any of the above but I really can't. Not keen on Louisa, Sophie or Charlotte. Love Eva but it's too popular atm for me to want to use. Love Emma but we have American relatives/may move over there at a later date may not and it's extremely popular over there atm.

So far I have:
Tess
Josephine
Rose

@H0NEY0NWAFFLE

Also like Marina and am open to unusual names as long as they are Latin or European and not modern.

I like Victoria.

Barleysugar85 · 10/03/2022 19:08

Not keen on Josephine it feels a bit wordy.

Tess/ Tessa is beautiful. Love Clara, Claudia, Lydia and Eleanor too. Rose is a lovely name but feels a bit overdone atm.

Tess is great. I don’t think Genevieve has been mentioned yet and it’s got similar sounds to Eva.
