Girls name - more like these?

DC 1 should be on its way in the next couple of weeks and we're still not sure on a girls name.

Halfway through pregnancy we agreed on Iona for a girl and Adam for a boy - Adam has grown on me even more and I love it, but I'm struggling to like Iona any more (for no apparent reason!)

Criteria are:
No M, T or C names
No 'shortened' names as DH and I can't agree whether to call baby the long version or the short version.
Nothing too far out

Other names we like:
Alice
Bethany
Lydia

Thanks very much for any suggestions.

Some lovely suggestions already made
Georgia, Harriet and Emily are lovely classic names.
What about Mabel and Edith

Sephy · 06/10/2013 10:27

These are lovely, thanks very much.

How do you pronounce Seren? I think it looks really pretty but probably shouldn't choose something I don't know how to say!

Harriet's lovely though DH isn't so keen, and Grace is going to be a middle name.

Thank you.

It's SEH-run (rhymes with seven) and is Welsh for star.

If you want to say Seren properly (as in, as it's said in Welsh- as an English person would say star) then it isn't Seh-run and it doesn't rhyme with seven- it's Se-ren.

Definitely an "en" sound and not an "un"

Agree with pp on Se-ren prounciation.
If you like that, there is also Serena (Se-ree-na).
