Have posted here before re a baby girls name but we are still so so stuck. Opinions are needed please.
Baby is due in 6 weeks time.
Names we have on our list but nothing concrete are:
Raine- atm is the front runner. Concerned around reactions such as it not being a recognised name, people thinking they’ve misheard eg. Have a daughter who’s name is around 60-70 in latest ONS and is totally solid and recognisable as a name. Slight concerns also around “rain rain go away” and older people thinking it sounds like Lorraine, but not as concerned about both of those as previously.
Zara- has always been up there but just not sure, something isn’t right and we’re not sure what.
Willow- a new name we are considering, ONS popularity puts us off and unsure if we’d still like it in a years time.
Ember- love that it’s autumnal, hate how close to Amber it is and feel they may be correcting people a lot. Also not a fan of Amber. DD name starts with E which also puts us off.
Lola- is it too samey with Lylas Lilly’s Lana etc and the song.
Poppy- no8 on ONS which is v popular for us. Is it too cutesy in older life? Can be shortened which we like to avoid.
and finally for info, if it wasn’t for family use we’d have gone with Sadie. Maybe that’s why we can’t decide because that would have been our name.
any advice, thoughts, opinions welcome.
Alternatives welcome too however I feel like we’ve exhausted all names
