Struggling to name baby girl due in three weeks - so far I quite like Clara, Isla, Alba, Etta? Thoughts/suggestions? Doesn’t have to end in an A!

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Clara is one of my favourites. It's the name of the girl in the Nutcracker ballet.

I like Clara.

Isla is nice but very popular (top 5 I think??)

I'm personally not keen on Alba, sounds like a TV channel and Etta feels incomplete.

I also like Imogen, Freya and Harriet as other suggestions!

Is it really? I know a dozen Clara's and no Islas at all. This has surprised me!

OP I like all the ones on your list, but I particularly love Etta and Clara 🥰

Met a little Alma the other day, seems to fit your vibe. Iris? Flora?

Clara is lovely.

They’re both lovely but incredibly popular girls names.

I don’t like Alba or Etta at all.

Gorgeous all of them!
I especially love Etta - short for Violetta,
Julietta, Loretta, Henrietta?

Clara is my second choice
from your list.
