Hi all,

We've got a very short list of girl names we like, it would be great to get your opinions on them and also if you can think of any other names on the same line.

Sarah (already thought of a middle name to match - Annabelle)
Anna
Abigail

Our surname is rare so needs to be spelt out all the time so maybe a less complex first name will be a good match. Also we have a son called Elliot if that's any help.

Thanks in advance, we'd appreciate it as we've hit a bit of a naming block.
