Can you help me out with boy and girl names for our new baby, who has Hadley as a sibling
My partner likes very traditional (Charlotte, Emily), whereas I'd prefer something less so - Not totally out there, but not so classic I suppose. Also not keen on 'preppy' names, which searches tend to bring up when you search for names to go with Hadley
I like the sound of names ending with an 'a' sound (like Eva, but not this because it sounds like 'hardly ever' when they're together)
I quite like Welsh origin names, but they can't have overly difficult pronunciations for non-Welsh people
Additionally our surname is floral (think Lily), so I don't particularly want a flowery name
Any suggestions very welcome!

What are preppy names? I know what you mean by not traditional, but not so sure what is preppy?
