girls names - just too difficult!!

[MrsRV]

doing my head in... hubs likes classic, pretty names. I like strong, little bit different boyish names. Never going to have it my way though!!

shortlist now wiped of Ruby, Holly, Amy, Brooke.

we used to love Elsie but surname ends "sie" and DD1 is Ella Rose.

help!!! inspire us!!

I always think of the meaning of names

Claudia means 'lame one'.

Fern
Myrtle
Mable
Stephanie

I met a woman called Alaska once, she was as cool as her name. It really suited her.

Since you seem to like short, strong names I'd add

Ingrid
Leah
Iris
Olive
Hester
Marnie
Ivy
Maia
Edie
Edith
Kayla
Maxine

Oh and

Lois

I love Lois :)

Clara
Leona
Victoria
Rowena
Jessica Jess
Emily
Bethany Beth
Stephanie
Harriet

Oh! Willow!

This is easier for other people than for myself...

Hubbahubster, me too, mine is rolling round the carpet playing as we speak!

I was going to suggest Elodie aswell but I think it's too similar sounding with Ella. I don't think Eliza is too bad with Ella. Some others are Clara, Amelle, Rhian, Jodie, Josie, Caitlin, Jade, Hannah, Shona, Sadie, Taliah, Zoe.

Carmen is lovely btw to the pp who mentioned it

Frances? Classic name, great nn potential?

Does Josephine cover both? Strong and classic and i think its pretty! Jo or Josie for short?
