Hello everyone. Husband and I are finding it hard to pick a girls name. We have a boys name picked out already. Older sister is named Heidi.

Here are some on the shortlist that we both agree on!

Leah
Emily
Emma
Evelyn
Lucy
Amy

Would love some thoughts on this!

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

Yes we love how unique Heidi is and would love some other suggestions.

It's so hard to find something we both agree on. I don't feel passionate about any of them in comparison to Heidi! We both love the boys name but I'm stressing over a girl's name as I want to love the name!

They all seem quite dull and commonly used compared to Heidi, which is beautiful and unusual. Maybe Lucy at a push?

I love Emily (mine and my daughter's middle name; my great grandma) and Lucy :)

Both timeless, pretty and classic.
