Name my DD for me please?

[SarahScotChristmasSpirit]

Following on from a thread I started earlier, on someone's suggestion here is a list of names I like. Can I have further ideas and suggestions please? DH and I have decided to start with a big list of names we quite like and whittle it down. All the names I like seem to have 2 syllables and end in a vowel sound - defintely a creature of habit!

Marnie
Ava
Esme
Edie
Anya
Lily
Orla
Maya

How about:

Estelle
Elsa
Naomi
Nyree
Niamh
Alexa
Dulcie
Lila
Lara
Amelie/Amelia

Aine (On-ye)
Catriona
Tara
Connie
Phoebe
Caoimhe

Iona
Enya
Aoife
Dervla
Una/Oona

Erm.. Think I have run out now !

Anya is really lovely, but most of the others are kind of emmm 'popular'

Sorry to have xposted, but only the posts following on from your original one I mean.

lucia
clemence

I like Esme and Edie best from your list.

I like Tara from KenDodds list

Thanks everyone, these are good, keep 'em coming!
Oh, and 'popular' doesn't really bother me as long as it's not top 10.

this is another girls name thread ive found orla on! is it really becomming that popular?
was gonna name my DD that but might change if its gonna be the new 'evie' :(

It's always been popular in Ireland and Scotland (top 100) and is a classic name. I named my (Irish) DD Orla because it wasn't massively popular in England. Am also noticing it a lot and am a bit sad that it's losing it's roots a little.

id never heard it in england before until comming on here, id only heard it in ireland and liked how pretty it sounded esspecialy when put with her irish surname

shes not due til march though so plenty of time to fall in love with a new name i guess :(

If really like Una/Oona.

I like Esme, Anya and Lily from your list.

Love Nuala! It's a name I was trying to recall and couldn't
darnsarf If you live it, use it!

Darn, agree with ken. I only know 2. One is 7 and has an Irish Mum and the other has Irish grandparents and lives in Scotland.

Orla is lovely.

Sarah like Orla and Anya from your list. Like Lily too but she will be in a class of about 7 Lilys and will be known as Lilywhateveryourlastnameis for the rest of her life.

Some lovely names on this thread. How do you pronounce Nuala? Is it Nula, Nwala, or Noo-arla? Thanks!

I went to school with a Nuala _ pronounced New-la.

Noo-la

Mangetout

At least that way you shouldn't end up with a fussy eater

You lot are fab! Will compile the lists and start the whittling down process.

Nuala would have a little barely audible vowel syllable (a schwa, an unstressed, neutral vowel sound) between the Noo and La -- so NOO-uh-la.
