Dc4 is being induced this week and we are still undecided about girls names. For a boy we love Teddy but I feel like I'm still searching for the perfect girls name... Please can I have your opinions on my current list and suggestions for names I might have missed;
Annabelle - current favourite (nn Annie)
Olivia - (too popular?)
Ava - (again too popular?)
Ada - (DH not too keen)
Alexandra - (nn Alexa/lexi)
Dorothea - (family connections)

Our surname is one syllable which is why I think a longer first name would be better.

Annabelle or Dorothea.

Dislike Alexandra & all derivatives.

Alexandra (love Alexa as shortening) is lovely and pretty unusual at the moment.
Dorothea also nice- nn Thea or Dolly(quite cute for a little girl?)

The others are nice names but very popular- for some reason, there are loads of baby Annabelle's round here at the moment! And there have been a lot of Olivias and Avas over the last few years.
Good Luck!

That's interesting verelab as I don't know any young Anabels here but thought the same when naming Dd2 and now she shares a name with 3 others in her class!
