We are really struggling and feel as though we have considered every name in every book!

Our current favourites are Hazel, Celeste and Ottilie which we obviously like but not sure if we love!

The top contender we had (Mabel) has been used by close friends so has taken this off the table.

We would also prefer the name to not be in the top 100 but doesn’t sound made up or unrecognisable.

Suggestions of names we might not have considered yet would be greatfully appreciated!

I adore Celeste. Met an adult one recently and couldn’t stop thinking about the name after. So elegant.
Goes beautifully with Flora too. 🙂
Does bring Babar to mind though. Not that that’s a bad thing!

Definitely not a flower name. But something generic encompassing another natural form might, to match with Flora, or a goddess name, or virtue name.
