Hi everyone
I'm now 25 weeks pregnant with a little girl. We have a 2 year old daughter called Freya and DH and I have become a bit overloaded with names. Love the sound of some names but they are just way too popular such as Olivia, Isla. I want something less common not necessarily unique I've looked at some name lists but need some help with suggestions. Our lists keep changing my DH has happily settled on a couple of names which I've then vetoed probably thanks to my hormones.

At the moment my favourite is Norah but this tends to change quickly. I also like Abigail, Alisha, Sylvie, Heidi, Erin, Niamh and Mara not a definite list so open to other names. Just hoping to see one and think that's the one.
