Whittling down the options for baby girl

[zoetstoffen]

New baby girl is due shortly, and we're still unsure as to what to call her. DC1 is Kester so we're looking for something to complement that too. Our current shortlist looks like this:

Arwen
Arya
Astrid
Beatrice
Cambria
Harper
India
Indie
Juno
Luna
Lyra
Meadow
Quinn
Wren
Zelda

I appreciate there are a few 'marmite' names on there, would welcome any comments and suggestions in the same vein.

I only really like Lyra and Beatrice from your list.

Really dislike Zelda & Cambria, and the Beckham connection would put me off Harper.

Other suggestions:
Bronwen
Anya
Summer / Autumn / Winter
Layla
Willow
Skylar
Fearne
Iris
Starla
Thea
Ayanna
Skye

Love Beatrice, the rest are hideous.

So I'm guessing you like game of thrones, Harry potter and ... Zelda? Lol

And Juno?
And maybe the band coheed and cambria?

I really like Astrid by the way... Sounds nice with Kester as well

I'm assuming you are actually into Zelda... ? Did you ever play final fantasy?
Always liked the name Aeris from FFVII.

India
Indie
Juno
Luna

all nice

Love Kester and i think names not also ending in an er/a sound go best. From your list Wren is my favourite by a long way.

The main reason I'm undecided on Arya is the GoT connection, it's a lovely name but wondering if it'll be a bit faddy as she's one of the few on there with a not-particularly outlandish name!

I've never read or seen Harry Potter. Are some of those popular names from that, I don't particularly want anything that'll have people thinking of Harry Potter quotes.

quinn and kester sound nice together. lyra is pretty as is beatrice. zelda does have the scott fitzgerald link but also fairy fountain so might avoid it

From your list I love Astrid and Beatrice (both of these are on my list ) and dislike the others

Hi Zoe!

Luna is from Harry potter... I have a friend with a dog called Luna due to HP and another friend with a cat called Luna due to HP!
That might put you off although i think its a lovely name!

Arya is lovely too (and an awesome character in GoT) but I think it might become very popular.

I think from your list Arwen, Juno, Luna and Lyra are lovely and go well with Kester. Also liked pps suggestions of Anya and Willow.

I like Beatrice and Indie from your list.
What about Lark, I taught one once and she was such a lovely girl, since then I have always loved the name. DH wouldn't even consider it.

Vashti

Like these:
Astrid - beautiful, my favourite, nn Asti is very cute.
Arwen - very pretty, if a bit LOTR
Meadow - if you're sure you can get away with it!
Wren - nice, but possibly works best as mn

Actually really like most of your choices in theory, but as you say some of them are quite 'marmite', and others are very closely linked to particular characters or people (Juno, Zelda, Harper). Suspect Arya and Juno in particular will be faddy.

Suggestions in a similar vein:
Merryn
Marin
Elowen
Blythe
Rowan
Clover
Vita
Anya
Zinnia
Lilac
Clio

Astrid is my favourite from your list also, think it goes really well with Kester.

Others to consider maybe

Olwen
Aspen
Tilda
Xanthe
Mabel

Like Beatrice and Juno that's all

I like Juno, Wren and Quinn best. Kester is a great name too btw

I love Wren and Astrid.

Can I suggest Linnet as another nice bird name?

Quinn immediately stands out to me goes perfectly with kester imo. Also like Lyra x

Arwen - ok
Arya - nice
Astrid - dislike
Beatrice - dislike
Cambria - horrible
Harper - seven
India - l
Indie
Juno
Luna
Lyra
Meadow
Quinn
Wren
Zelda

Bloody iphone!!
India - lovely
Indie - cool
Juno - nice
Luna - like
Lyra - Lycra
Meadow - bit too hippy
Quinn - no
Wren - dislike
