Hi,
I've looked through so many names there been a few I like but I don't feel like they are "the fit" if that makes sense?! Like names that have "ee" and "lle" sound ending. Open to any name suggestions though,
Some name examples I like:-
Phoebe, Heidi, Isabelle, Anabelle. I really liked Leonie but alot of people on here have said it's "Chavy" so it's put me off sadly.

Really grateful for anything thank you!

Yeah maybe it depends where you are in the country but OP is right, Leonie is chavvy round here. I'm amazed by all the positive reinforcement above.

Scarfymcscarface · 19/12/2022 15:16

Leonie is lovely!

if you like ille and ee endings how about Camille or Aimee (French spelling!)?

Zen Haidee is a separate name. Not the same as Heidi.

Haidee was invented for a female character in one of his works by the poet Byron, around 1800. He probably based it on a Greek word meaning 'modest' or similar.

Heidi is a short form of the German name Adelheid (in English = Adelaide)

Adelheid is vile.

I was going to suggest Leonie before I had got to the end of your post!!! Not sure why! I don't see it as chavvy whatsoever? I find it very classy and underused.

Otherwise how about
Bryony
Mylee
