I think I've decided on the name for our DD (due in July), but part of me thinks it would be nice to go for a Polish or Ukranian name (as that's where my maternal grandparents are from). Does anyone have any nice suggestions? We are using Maria as a middle name.

www.nameberry.com has a function that lets you search for names by origin (including Polish and Ukranian). I think Theadora and Sofiya are both pretty; they are both Polish/Ukranian variations of other names which might be a way to include an Eastern European name?
