Ever since I was small I’ve loved the name Petra. I idea why but I was a history fanatic. Is it an okay or a definitely not. I’ve never met another one in the UK but know three German people with the name.

OH current favourite is Danica as he likes the meaning and his dad is a Daniel. I’m just thinking she will end up another Danny though I’m not dead against that.

I love Petra. Always have.
Danica seems a bit - spiky. Along with Erica and Karla.

Ooo interesting choices. I really like Petra, not a bad thing to say about it.
Not so sure about Danica but it's not awful, could grow on a person
Are you and your OH aware of the girl's name Danu? I knew a Danu and it really suited her and as far as I know everyone loved it.
