Name Fatigue

I am pregnant with a girl and due in January. I know I have time, however I am getting soo many questions on if I’ve picked a name yet. I genuinely have NO idea. For context, baby girl is mixed (black and white) and her last name is Elliott. I don’t really like anything too traditional or too nickname-ish/sounds made up.
I’ve gone through SO many lists and nothing is standing out.

I am getting soo many questions on if I’ve picked a name yet. Say 'not yet' and leave it.

What a strange list! Laika is a dog's name (first dog in space). Lots of the rest are yooniq spellings.

Just practise saying 'we're going to wait until she's here' with a smile to shut down any questions/suggestions.

You've got loads of time. Have a shortlist and pick a final name when you meet her.

We've had Zenith in another thread. Fatigue makes as much sense as that.

I thought you meant Fatigue as a possible name 😂

You’ve got months.
