I'm due in Aug and don't know the gender. We have a boys' name that we're happy with but are really struggling with a girls' name. The ones we like are generally arguably/technically boys' names that could be used for girls...current top three as follows:

Corin
Auden
Delphine (obvs I know this one isn't a boys' name!)

Can anyone suggest anything that we might not have thought of?!

We'd like something fairly unusual it not bonkers - not Top 100 though. Middle name likely to be Grace. Other names we like but not quite enough to use are:

Meredith
Cecilia/Cecily
Hester
Alexandra

We're not keen on anything too girly (such as Milly, Daisy, Lily or similar) or too retro (Elsie, Maud, Mabel etc).

Any suggestions very gratefully received!

Rowan is lovely. I know someone called Rowida - pronounced Row as in doe, I as in me, myself, and I, and da as in the phonetic 'duh' sound.

Aubin? Aubrey? Avery?

Cora?

Tessa or Thalia if you like Thea?

Hester, if you like the sound of Hebe but don't like its dog connotations?

My daughter is Anwen :-) love the name, although people keep asking if I'm a LOTR fan... FYI, she was called Arwen, the lass in LOTR, our Anwen is just because I liked the name. OH is Welsh, so my brood all have welsh names.
