So this is our top 5 so far (in no particular order):

Lavinia
Aurelia
Beatrix
Eliza
Delilah

We wanted something a bit more unique but these were also in the mix....Lucy, Elsie and Rosalie. Our surname is Phillips if that helps. We've had nearly 20 weeks knowing its a girl and cannot make our minds up! I think we'd like a top 3 going into it and will decide when we meet her. Any thoughts, suggestions, etc welcome! :)

Thank u!

I was going to be called Delilah but then my mom changed her mind, I now share my name with a very famous red haired singer, think chasing pavements, and rolling in the deep!

I like Eliza, Beatrix, Delilah (top 3, not necessarily that order)

Lavinina is pretty said as full name, but lav, or lavy, are not so pretty!
Aurelia, again I think is pretty, wouldn't be a name I chose, but I can't really give you a good reason why!

I LOVE Rosalie. Such a pretty yet strong name, and unusual without being weird.

Beatrix is a good name. Good nickname options and quite a strong, spiky name.

Lavinia and Aurelia are pretty, but not to my personal taste. A bit flowery and posh.

Eliza is nice - popular, though. Delilah is a bit heavy going.

Meh to Lucy. Lucille? Always loved that name.

Not a fan of Elsie. Too cutesy and hate the old lady chic names.

I think Lucy Phillips is adorable. Though, not unique.

There's Lucinda too. And Rosalind, Rosamund, Rosanna as well as Rosalie.

Lavinia! I know a teen Lavinia and the Lav thing has never happened!

Next - Beatrix

Lavinia - associate with 'lav'
Aurelia - like Aurelie better. Personally would only use a four syllable name that could be shortened to something snappier.
Beatrix - really like
Eliza - like
Delilah - like
