@3girlsmama

Leia Daisy is nice

Suggestion: Summer

Do you think Leia is a bit silly as same pronunciation as Layer as in put on another Layer of clothes.. I'm probably overthinking! Summer is nice..

@HiKelsey

I have a Isobel James But did like Olive/Olivia, Sophia, Faye, Grace and Emilia
I like Isobel but really don't like Izzy so wouldn't want her to end up as an Izzy. Maybe Isabella and Bella for short..
