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.

We called our daughter Winifred, it's classic, hasn't gotten trendy, and it has great nicknames too - she's Winnie now, but she can be just Win or Freddie later if she chooses.

My current faves are Aphra, Juno, Selma, Zora. Naming a human is hard, but you’ll find one you both love :)

Recently had a baby girl. We called her Romy. We also loved Cora.

Madeleine. It was my grandmother's name and I've always loved it.
My second choice would have been Angharad, but then I'm Welsh!
