Just interested to hear your impressions of these names! I am sure I?ll get flamed for saying so, but really, really want to avoid names that are too popular (I have a very unusual name and I love that everyone remembers it!)

So here goes:

Maeve (with Mae as nn? would be keen on Irish name as have Irish heritage. How common is it in Ireland?)
Nora ? on its own or as a nn for below
Eleanor ? shortened to Nora (not a fan of Ellie, Ella etc)
Georgia
Audrey

We also considered Aoife but is it becoming too popular?

Eleanor, due to the magnificent Eleanor of Aquitaine. A seriously impressive role model.

Dulcie, I love Rosalind too, but it's my Mum's name :-) Thinking of going for the ever popular Rose as a middle name instead. Or Mary. Or Mae if we don't go for Maeve as a first name...

A lot of you seem to like Audrey :-) What could we use as a nn?

I like Audrey.
My favourite at the moment is Rosalind, nn Ros.

I also quite like Nell for Eleanor.
