Hi all,
We have the following shortlist for girls names... 3 picked by me, 3 picked by my partner... we can't seem to agree on any!

Annabella
April
Heidi
Mia
Piper
Sofia

Please could we have your thoughts on each / favourites to help us narrow it down?

Thank you!

Heidi or Annabel.

I like Heidi - traditional but underused. In a similar vein to Tessa which you may also like?

I do like Annabella also. For some reason Annabelle/Annabel is a dolls name for me and feels frilly and fusty for an actual child, but stick an “a” on the end and it becomes rather elegant.

Heidi is my favourite.

Annabelle is nicer, or even Anna which is classy.

April is lovely. Annabella is a bit too long and fussy imo but I love Annabelle/Annabel. I like Sofia but personally prefer the spelling Sophia. Mia is ok too. I’m less keen on Heidi and Piper but they are both perfectly inoffensive.
