As on other thread, we love Darcy/Darcey. Other favourites are:

Amelie
Lyra
Sky/Skylar

Would also love anything vaguely hippyish, what else is in the same vein do you think?

How do you pronounce Biba?

Bee-bah or Bib-ah?

Love Indie but have a friend with an Indie short for Indigo. Also know an Ember. Beautiful!

Classic but I LOVE Summer, Sky(e), Rain, Storm etc.

Darcy and Amilie are favourites of mine.
I also love
Heidi, Willow, & Phoebe.
Also quite like India and Autumn although not sure I'm quite brave enough to use them

I love Rowan - works equally well for a boy or a girl (I know one of each).

Violet is very pretty, Biba a bit meh - what do you shorten it to? Beeb? :)

Agree Willow is very nice, Talitha (like famous hippy Talitha Getty), Tanith, Storme, Sunny (too weird?!), Emerald...

Biba is pronounced Beeba - it was an amazing clothes shop in the 60s and 70s.

My favourite is briar (add rose for a girl)

I loved Dion as well... not exactly hippyish but out there a bit! Smile

I like Gaia and I also love names that could be for a fairy... My eldest's middle name is Fae. Did consider spelling it Fey. Grin

Esther is often said to mean star and so you can hide your hippy edges nicely.

Dustin :)

DancingLady · 03/10/2013 11:55

OOh Seren, Willa, Astrid are all nice... I'm a bit Hmm about names that are too fairy-ish, as your DD will carry that name her whole life, even if she decides to become an all-in wrestler or a venture capitalist... :)

Something hippy-ish and free-spirited but strong, rather than like a flower fairy?

AlfalfaMum · 03/10/2013 14:58

I quite like Dylan as a girls name.
