Hi, me and dh are struggling to think of another baby girl name. Siblings of baby are Darla, Devon & Adrian. Dh does not want something old and outdated such as Jessica, Margaret, Elizabeth etc I see nothing wrong with them but couldn’t see us using them. Not the biggest fan of too common names either mia Emily hannah etc as have too many in the family. Just want something not popular but not too weird ?! potential middle names would be Robyn, Mabel, Ada. We did like Lola but thought too common and also dhs couaina child is named Lola. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Surname is two syllables .

Okay, DH likes Kiera. I like it but it doesn’t stand out to me, my middle name is Ciara and he says he likes but can’t imagine having a kid named it. So I also like sierra & sienna but Dh says these are too common! …..

Ooh I didn’t think so, neighbour in my old house had a girl named Hallie and was pronounced Hal e
think Halle is too. Think Haley, Hailey and Hayley are pronounced Hay lay. Not sure dh doesn’t like any of them anyway

I'd pronounce Hallie as Haley. Isn't Halle also pronounced Haley? Perhaps Hayley would be a similar alternative.

Went through these names with dh, he doesn’t like any of them… We did like Hallie but not after I told him it wasn’t pronounced Haley. Robyn I agree, is lovely however dhs dad and grandad don’t get on and it’s his grandads name so middle name is as far as he will go. Celeste is lovely, but dhs says his family’s cockney accent will not sound nice with that. Me personally I like from these suggestions, Stella, Celeste, Savannah & Serena. However Dh does not. No one told me it would be this tricky agreeing on a name !, i loved Darcy but one of my close friends is named Darcy and also feel it might be a bit close to Darla…. If it helps we live up north, but southern family’s do something that sounds good in both accents ideal. Thank you all for the lovely suggestions though!

Love the name Robyn (personally prefer Robin) - could you use it as a first name?

Robyn is lovely.

Let us know if you like any of these and that will narrow it down a bit.
