Help needed naming week old unnamed baby

Our baby is a week old today and we're having trouble naming her. We wanted to get a hint of her personality before choosing a name so we've only just got to the shortlist phase. My dh is welsh and likes celtic type names, whilst I like a mix but want too give her a name that would not restrict her and so suit a high court judge or a DJ and anything in between.

We have:

Top 10
aoife
beatrice
bethan / bethany
carys
megan
olwen
rebecca
rhiannon / rhian
katherine
robyn

10 - 20
caitlyn
elodie
iona
orla
agnes
maegan
seren
helena
imogen
morgan

I'd appreciate the thoughts of mumsnetters on this one! I've put a photo of her on my profile taken the day she was born to help. She seems inquisitive, intelligent and we think she's beautiful (and I know all parents would probably say those things) so we wanted a name to reflect that.

Thank you!

Seren Elizabeth is gorgeous!! Fabulous choice.

That's ok thirtysomething

Our surname is one of those that forms words (or things that sound like words) with anything that ends in an -a sound. That ruled out a few more of our choices once we thought about it a bit more. glad you like the final choice. :)

Thank you pixiestix!
