Sister for Leila

Getting way ahead of myself at just 14 weeks pregnant!

We don't know which sex our baby is yet. We have a boy's name (Asher, which I adore even tho it has similar ending to Leila, our daughter) but are stuck for girls.

We love the name Leila so much, I can't imagine finding another that will feel so right.

Not keen on having two names ending in 'a' (so Matilda and Ida, which I like, are out).

Paige is the only name I like so far.

I like names which feel class-neutral, and deffo don't want a super-popular name. Happy to go a little bit hippy (I like Jasmine). My side of family is C of E, his Jewish- so old testament names are quite fitting. But am open to lots of types of names.

Middle name likely to be Rachel.

Any thoughts?

Is Leila pronounced Leela or Layla? Not sure and want an idea of how it sounds before I try to suggest something you might like! What what it's worth, if you like Asher for a boy, you might like Esther for a girl.

Stellan it's pronounced Layla

Esther is good, but I just think Rantzen!

I think of Estella, Aurora, Stella, Aurelia, Elspeth as being on the same lines as Esther.
