We just can’t find a name we agree on 🤦‍♀️
our original name list:
Cass/Cassie
Juno
Nova
Maya
Remi
Kaia
Kali/Callie
Tess
Wren (ruled out as too popular)

We struggled with the name game while I was pregnant but were sort of half decided on thinking she’d be a Cass or a Kali but neither of them are settling well on her. OH LOVES Shea but only wants to spell it Che which is a hard no from me so back to the drawing board. I love Juno but he’s vetoing. We’ve been round and round in circles for what feels like forever. Please help, mumsnet hive mind! Open to any and all suggestions 🙏

Thanks all for the suggestions/rebuttals 😁 interesting that people are saying Wren isn’t popular - I know three off the top of my head whereas have met very few of our other names!
Half the problem is we can’t agree - he loves Eden, Effie, India, Veda and if he had final say would probably call her Nessa. I love Ivy, Ava, really pushed for Artemis but was shut down in no uncertain terms 😅 and if I had final say would call her Astra. She is also one of many (blended family) so lots of names have been used on siblings either as first or middle names, or they sound too similar to use again 🤦‍♀️

Definitely EDEN! a beautiful daughter congratulations and sending all the best wishes 💐

She's beautiful. Congratulations. You haven't got to settle on a name yet, try a few out for a day or two each to see what sticks.

I adore Tess. One of my daughters is Esther (currently calling her Essie pest as she's approaching 1). But I'd love to call her Tess as a diminutive when she's older.
Juni would also be wonderful.

Felicity (Fliss)
Gwenny (I have a daughter Gwennan who goes by this)

Maeva
Savannah
Sienna
Alice
Honey
Joy
Darli

How about Astrid? It's got the d sound he seems to favour (Veda, Eden etc) and the Ast that you love. Plus it's a v cool name. She is a cutie. Congrats!
