OP, they’re all nice names, so choose the one you like. Whatever you call her, she will become that name. (All of your options are fine with Joy as a second name - see what they sound like with your surname.)

I have a Saffron Niamh and a Sidney Carlotta. Wanted a bit different because ex and I are both teachers, so we tried to avoid any names we’d ever taught.

aSpanielintheworks · 29/04/2024 17:58

Really like Eliza.
Heidi is lovely but very popular where I am.

IrisRuby · 29/04/2024 17:48

Heidi or Anna

Anna - best one. Can't fault it. I also like Hannah, Ann and Annie
Heidi - nice, a little bit twee
Erica - nice, not girly
Eliza - not keen, prefer Elizabeth nn Lizzie
Sienna - seems a bit downmarket
Erin - looks nice bit I'm not keen on the sound. Mean girl vibes

not a fan of Erin or Eliza

RosaRoja · 28/04/2024 23:04

Heidi Joy sounds nice together.

Moreteaandchocolate · 28/04/2024 23:02

I’m less keen on Heidi (I want to yodel when I hear it) and Erica (in secondary school she could become Eric for short)

Eliza is my favourite.

Least keen on Erin and Sienna.

miniaturepixieonacid · 28/04/2024 22:30

Anna - like it. Simple and elegant. Goes well with Joy.
Heidi - not keen. I can't separate it from the fictional character.
Erica - quite like it. Never met one in the UK.
Eliza - not keen but I'm not really sure why. It's a perfectly good name.
Sienna - quite like it. Goes well with Joy.
Erin - really like it. My favourite on the list.

Other ideas:
Astrid, Amy, Bella, Bronte, Clara, Cleo, Dana, Danica, Emma, Eden, Fearne, Faith, Giselle, Greta, Hannah, Hazel, Iris, Inez, Julia, Juliet, Keira, Katie, Luana, Larissa, Mila, Maria, Niamh, Noelle, Orla, Ottilie, Pippa, Phoebe, Robyn, Rosie, Sadie, Sylvia, Taryn, Tamara, Verity, Violet, Wren, Willow, Zoe, Zara

OopsieeDaisy · 28/04/2024 22:22

Anna is lovely, definitely my favourite on your list. Second would be Erin. Not too keen on the rest.

BananaLambo · 28/04/2024 22:12

Anna is the most timeless and classiest of the names, followed by Eliza.

beebop33 · 28/04/2024 22:09

From your list I love Anna, Heidi and Erin. All beautiful, strong names.
