All in the title.

Looking for name suggestions as we are getting no where fast. Don't want to give any of our current shortlist as I think this can influence responses a lot, I'd just like a complete open book :).

Maximum of 2 syllables, nothing too frilly or twee sounding.

Love strong, fierce names that hold their own but I know those adjectives have different meanings for different people.
Likely not going with a middle name so a name that holds it own in that sense too is important. Surname is 2 syllables long and ends in an S.

Not a fan of old fashioned or dated names e.g Edith/Elsie etc, and dated to be would probably be anything I went to school around so anything 90's Rebecca, Jessica, Sarah etc.

Hoping for something not too popular but have become a bit more lenient to this as time goes on, preferably nothing top 20 though.

Thanks in advance 😊

I came on to suggest Stella too. Love that name.

This is three syllables but I’m obsessed currently: Gloria
