We just cannot agree on a name. I like names you can get nicknames from - I'm an Elizabeth and always loved having options. Partner isn't as bothered.
What are you opinions?

These are the names we both like -

Ava
Emilia
Esme
Freya
Lilianna
Olivia
Phoebe
Rosanna
Zara

I also like Rosalie and Ottilie but he would never go for them.

(I'm not overly keen on massively popular names so any that are super popular are his idea, haha!)

Zara and Rosanna are the best imo.

Ava - too popular
Emilia - ditto
Esme - wet
Freya - ok
Liliana - too frilly
Olivia - dated
Phoebe - no
Rosanna - this is nice, prefer Rosa
Zara - love it

Natalie, Alicia, Erin, Louisa, Faye, Erica, Esther, Meredith, Catherine.

Hmmm I work in a nursery and most of these names are super popular at the moment. If you are ok with that then fine.

Rosanna and Freya less popular - I like them both.
Can I amke some suggestions based on your choices;
Rhiannon
Alice
Nancy
Millicent
Kathleen or Katherine

I really like these names

I think Ava, Emilia, and Lilianna are pretty in a very girly way

Freya, Rosanna and Zara are pretty in a strong/powerful way, I like these the most

Not super keen on Esme, Phoebe or Olivia, just cos they seem a bit boring or clunky next to your others

Tbh I know loads of babies with these names or similar (eg Lily, Rosie etc). So based on not wanting a popular name, I'd choose Phoebe or Zara. I like Zara a lot.
