Baby girl, no name due in 2 weeks!

Name changed as I share our names in this. As the title, I'm due in 2 weeks.

Already have two girls, Florence and Robin. I'm becoming increasingly anxious we don't have a single name that feels right!

DH likes quite old fashioned names. He likes Connie but we don't like Constance. He likes Edith with Edie as a nickname but I'm not sure, where we live in the north west I already get a lot of 'oh isn't Florence very old fashioned' comments, I think Edith would illicit more of the same!

I really liked Eden instead and we were quite set on this for a while, but then had a bad experience with another child who turned out to be called Eden and it's just spoiled it for us.

I'm honestly finding it impossible. We have trawled lists and lists of girls names with no luck!

Please share some girls names. I like Olive but our surname is Doyle which sounds too much like Olive Oil!

You can't have an Olive Doyle Grin

What about Violet, Sadie, Iris, Daisy, Eliza, Marcie, Martha or Penelope?

Yep we definitely can't have Olive Doyle 😂

Martha is one we had on our list as well as Marnie, also love Violet and Sadie but I just don't get the feeling with any of them. I can't explain it but with my other two girls, as soon as we picked their name out around 20 weeks it just felt absolutely right, I never deterred! This baby has had so many prospective names but none feel like the one!

Those are gorgeous names.

It does feel like names like Violet and Iris would work, along with names of the Beatrice/Rosalind/Helena.

I've heard Connie being short for Consetta before.

Other suggestions:

Jeanie (Could be a nn for Jeanette)
Darla
Elizabeth (nn Eliza or Lizzie)
Eleanora (nn Nora)
