Baby girl is due in the next couple of weeks, and names are still swirling around and favourites changing every couple of days..

For context she’s half-Irish and has an older sister called Indigo (Indi). We like flowing names, nature names (not absurd ones), names that can be shortened.. Can’t start with a hard C sound cos surname does.

Recently:

Alannah, probably known as Lana/Lanah

Amber, possible nickname Bea (from Bambi which is what I end up calling a little Amber we know)

Today’s newcomer, Eleni known as Leni (can’t have nn Ellie)

She was Jasmine for ages, originally an honour name for a friend but then we really liked it, now I think it’s a bit princessy (husband has no Aladdin connotations but I do!)

Also Rosie short for Róisín has been on the table, but again potentially a bit floral and just not ‘strong’ enough.

Opinions and suggestions gratefully received! Thank you :-)

I love Juniper but couldn't use for my DDs as our surname begins with P and it doesn't sound right. Nn 'Juni'.
Also love Wren, I think Indi and Wren sound lovely together.
