Hi, my partner and I have been having some serious problems thinking about names, we have scrolled through many name lists both old and new, we have watched many videos and read many books, yet nothing has felt right or stood out to us. I am expecting in late November so I know I have a while but I dont want to be stuck thinking about what to call my baby girl when she is born, which is why I just wanted to come on here and ask everyone what names youre currently obsessed with? We are looking for something unique that you dont hear everyday, whilst also being kind of classic if thats possible haha. Our surname is Howell and I dont have any preferences on the initial of her first name. Anyway please let me know any name you love, whether you are planning on using it or would have if you had a girl.

Given that the OP said her due date was late November, I’m assuming this baby has already been born and named. (Hopefully not Lilac.)

@Mumofgirls2017 love your list! Especially Juniper, but DH isn’t a fan. We have a Clementine already, not sure what to call bump!

Oooh so jealous. My husband vetoed Clementine (and didn’t quite love juniper enough!)

Ourania: Means "heavenly". It's another name for the Muse of astronomy in Greek mythology.
