Billie... for a girl?

We have a Ds called Jesse, and a Dd called Ellie (she's older - it took off the year she was born... now she's starting to have issues with having a popular name).

We're expecting another little girl, and we really want to avoid popular names no matter how much we like them as we're keen to avoid the issues we're having with DD1.

At the same time I don't want anything too out there - although I like unusual names, we'd like something that fits with us as a family, and with the other Dc's names.

So what's the happy medium? Smile

Others we've considered are...

Lois
Hattie
Lila

Some more I can't remember!

Billie is really good.

It's cool and unusual but easy to say.

And though it's 'modern', for me it has history and gravitas, as I think of Billie Holliday.

Love love love Billie.
I have Lois on our list for our August baby girl Grin

I like Billie, but it feels too similar to Ellie.

Hattie is nice.

I love the name Billie for a girl! Dont like Lois or Lila, Hattie is nice but quite popular as a nickname I think
