I've always loved longer names that give you nn options but we just can't decide on any of those, so I've opened my mind and have started considering shorter names. Trying to compromise!
What do you think of -

Esme (hubby's favourite)
Lydia (surname begins with an L)
Naomi
Phoebe
Millie (don't usually like nickname-as-name names but I don't mind this one and I don't like any if the longer versions)

Any other suggestions?

I feel like I like them all but don't love any. All the names I love, my husband doesn't! We've talked about SO MANY names! It's driving me mad!


We can see this thread is quite old now but if you’ve landed here looking for baby naming inspo, our recently updated 1000 top girl names article may offer some ideas. Flowers

LOVE Phoebe (I too would use nickname Bee) and Naomi and really like Lydia too. All cool biblical women so a strong background but with a modern feel.

Don't like the others, boring, overdone and nothing-ey in my opinion.

Esme - it’s ok
Lydia - quite like this
Naomi - like this
Phoebe - love this, I know one who goes by Bee which I love too. So also gives a nn option if that’s what you want!
Millie - not keen
