I have come to really like this but DH isn't so sure. Can you suggest other names of a similar 'style'?

Not too popular though, I have a popular name and 3 close friends have the same name, so I want to avoid that. For that reason Ava and Mia, which have been long time favourites, are out.

Thoughts?

I dislike Ada, Ivy, Edith Evelyn, so so much. They're ugly to me. So many prettier names for a girl.

I've worked with a couple of Ayda's I the last year and they really suited their names.

Ada, Ava, Eva, Evie - all so similar, so popular right now, almost exactly the same sound... and I don't think they'll stand the test of time at all. There's so little to them - just a couple of vowel sounds. They're the current craze, once people see past them - they will be gone.

Short, snappy... and actually interesting:

Merryn

Zena
