As my title states, girls names are impossible!
I am nearly 30 weeks pregnant, had two boys names decided right from before I even got pregnant, but..... you've guessed it, I am having a girl!!
Girls names wise, I've had a few ideas. I want a name that is solid, will age well, and isn't too trendy.

My current ideas:
Florence (nickname Florrie) - family name of someone I was very close to.
Darcey - inspired by Darcey Bussell, whom in my opinion is an amazing dancer, feels like strong sturdy name but maybe too masculine
Arabella - Recently heard this one, and kind of felt attracted to how beautiful it sounds. But is it too frilly and would it inevitably result in nick name Bella which is Uber popular right now!!

If you could let me know what you think of my ideas so far and suggest any other names you think I may like. Just in case it helps my two boys names are Noah and Zach.

Thanks.
