We’re due any time and still haven’t decided on a name.

We like a strange mix of nature and traditional names with our favourites being:

Elwen
Francesca (Frankie)
Freya
Lyra
Matilda
Theodora (Theo)
Willow

Keen to hear your thoughts on these names and any other suggestions. We both feel like we’re waiting for a new name to be ‘the one’ but haven’t found it after months of looking.

From your list I love Lyra, Willow and Matilda.

Elwen - unusual, but easy to pronounce and spell, pretty.

Francesca (Frankie) - nice, but not my favourite from your list.

Freya - not keen, it's fine but it's not as nice as the others. Too common.

Lyra - not a fan, don't like the sound of it.

Matilda - it's popular, but I love it.

Theodora (Theo) - not keen on either the long name or the shortening. Can't not sing it to the tune of Wizadora

Willow - no, the worst on your list, very of the moment, will date.

I'd go Elwen Matilda or Matilda Elwen depending on how brave you're feeling.
