Please help, I?ve completely over-thought this and I?m sick of it, but can still not make up my mind.

We have more or less settled on Miriam as a name for dd2 due in two weeks, but I?m suddenly worried that it is too religious (we?re not) or something.

We also like Elise (dh?s favourite), Laura and Polly. Two syllable surname starting with Gar (like in garden). Is one of them obviously better that Miriam? Are they all awful? I am not overly sensitive about this so please say.

I?m open to other suggestions too.

Miriam and Polly are lovely. Isn't Elise a brand of sportswear? Not so kken on that one.
Miriam was the main female character in 'Sons and Lovers' by DH Lawrence.

Oh and sorry about the question marks and typos. Something strange happened there.

Middle name will a family name. Probably Maria (not with Miriam obviously), Anne or Ellen.

Thank you for replying!

Being dim here but I don't think religion when I hear Miriam.

Personally, I like Laura and Elise more, but all are nice names.

I like Miriam and Polly best.

I like them all - we considered all except Elise (which DH didn't like) for dd.

with a list that short you could wait and see what she looks like

have you a middle name in mind?
