Didn't particularly want as fussy a name as Romilly but we needed up loving and just going for it three and a half years ago.
Now expecting girl 2 in January - any ideas welcome, doesn't have to be as rare though not eg top 50 and quite drawn to 'a' ending names this time around.
List including some we can't use as have a lot of nieces:

Juniper
Olive
Pippa (know about Italian swear words)
Hilda
Thea
Esther
Adelaide
Lara
Frieda/which spelling
Willa
Maeva

Any thoughts and other suggestions so welcome. Think we originally got the name Romilly from MN nearly 5 years ago when TTC so thanks again!

Cassia, Emerald, or Clover would be lovely.

@DigbyTheDigger I thought that but it was a bit confusing.

‘List including some we can't use as have a lot of nieces…Any thoughts and other suggestions so welcome’.

It’s not clear (although I’m unwell and maybe it’s my brain!).

Ooh, maybe you're right and I have the wrong end of the stick. OP, set us right!

Romily and Clara

I think some PPs haven't spotted that list shows the names you can't use.

I'm offering up Beatrice, Esther, Stella, Iris and Ione.
