What do you lot think of my girls name list

I am 35+4 and we don't know what we are having which whilst exciting has made choosing a name pretty tricky. We've had no problems with a boys name but are struggling with a girls name.

Bit of cultural background, both my DH & I have quite a mix heritage; Scandinavian, German, Welsh, Irish & English.

What do you think of my not very extensive full list? :)
Mila
Edda
Inge
Klara
Romilly
Amalia
Astrid

Any thoughts on any others?

We have a Romilly. Other names we considered were Seren, Aurelia and Edith.

I like Mila and Astrid from your list.

Mila - OK.
Edda - not come across this before but think it sounds nice - very Scandinavian-sounding though so might want to give her a middle name that gives a nod to her other heritage.
Inge - don't think it works that well in the UK - Inga the minger? ('Minger' is defined by Urban Dictionary as 'a male or female who fell out of the ugly tree at birth and hit every branch on the way down'...)
Klara - I like the sound of this name but prefer the way Clara looks when written.
Romilly - like but prefer Romola.
Amalia - like.
Astrid - like.

I LOVE Amelia and Astrid, don't care for the rest.

Mila, Romilly and Astrid are my faves!

Clara with a C, the others are dismissible.

I know a half Swedish baby called Ebba and my middle name is Scandinavian: Elsebeth, their version of Elizabeth. Never come across it in the UK at all. Can be shortened to ellabeth, ella, ellabett etc. All lovely imo!

Romilly Astrid is lovely.

I like Mila and also Klara but also prefer it with a C.
Agree with the mInge thing, first thing that popped into my head Blush

ExitPursuedByABear · 12/07/2012 23:06

Edda and Romilly

Klara is ok, better spelled Clara.

Not keen on the rest, sorry.
