I'm struggling to find "the one". Ideally I'd like something which goes with DS's name, which we love. DS's name is:

  • Celtic (our DCs have have strong Scottish & Welsh heritage, and also Irish if you go a bit further back).


  • pre-Christian


  • has an interesting story attached


  • is not a top-100 name


DD's name doesn't have to meet all (or any!) of those criteria, but it'd be nice if it did.

Probably totally outing myself as a hippy at heart! But I have this image of her as a windswept, independent young girl standing on a hill, out in the elements, leaning into the wind (no idea where this image came from, but it's persisted in my head while pregnant). I also had a dream in which her name was Estelle, and also Star. I wouldn't use either of these in RL, but the meaning star is nice.

Back to reality, we had a 4D scan. She looks like her brother - very full lips. When I saw her the word "rosebud" pupped into my mind, although this is not something I'd use in RL.

Any advice would be much appreciated!

I'm desperately curious too! I really liked the OP's description of what she wanted in a name, and I'd love to know what was picked in the end Smile
