Baby girl names, help!

I welcomed my baby girl a few days ago, she was born early and is currently in NICU. She's just been going by "baby girl [last name]" because my husband and I have been so all over the place we've not been able to come up with anything.

I like the 'vibe' of Olivia, Isabella, Hazel etc., but we can't pick anything. Any help would be welcome!

Hazel is gorgeous. Not so keen on your others though, as v popular. Heidi, Holly, Tamsin, Cassia, Sasha, Fern are nice.

Pp suggested Amelia which sounds ugly (uh MEALY uh) and unfortunately the medical definition of amelia is absence of limbs.😱

Carina means beloved. Kerensa means love in Cornish. Carissa is another name from the same sort of root.

Congratulations!

Holly
Leonora
Iris

From your list I like Hazel best.

congratulations! Can only imagine how you’re feeling with your little one in NICU, really hope she is home soon and forever.

Elodie is a really beautiful sounding name and was on my list but when I tried it out loud it didn’t work for me, just felt weird saying it, so just start using it (between you and your husband) and see how it feels.

Similar names - Eleanor or Leonie? Both are beautiful.

Eloise.

Congratulations to you both. Hope your little one is doing well.

Charis (Ka-ris, from Greek, meaning graceful)

Thanks all, we think we like Elodie Violet, but it feels like such a huge task to name someone so small

Do you like the shortened versions of the name? That may put you off certain ones.
