Having a hard time choosing

[Elbelle6]

We are struggling to choose a name for our first child. I want something distinctive but not too outlandish that she won't fit in with everyone else. Favourites so far are:

Ianthe - bit worried no one will no how to pronounce it
Danae - similar issue to above
Eliza - family name
Elodie
Cordelia
Isadora
Danica
Fleur
Lowenna
Xanthe

Surname is Whitfield

I like lowenna. Another Cornish pretty one is Kerensa

I know a Danae (pronounced Dannay) and I think it's lovely and unusual.

I love Cordelia and Xanthe and have loved both for many years. I almost called DS1 Xanthe and he's 23.

Not wild about Elodie, dislike Isadora, like Fleur, not sure about Lowenna, prefer Morwenna, Danica not sure about it…it could grow on me but it sounds quite hard.

What about Erica instead?

oh and Eliza is quite nice as well.

Love Elodie and Elise! Beautiful names with a classic French twist.

I think if you want something distinctive then Lowenna and Danica meet that criteria best.

Just wanted to thank everyone for responding to my post it's been really helpful. Will let you know what we decide. Xxx

Love Xanthe, it was on our list for DD.
Also like Lowenna, but much prefer Morwenna.
How about Isolde? Feels similar to several of yours.

Ianthe - I keep reading as "Ian the" but that's probably just me.

Elise/Eliza/Elodie - there seem to be so many "El" names around at the moment, I would probably avoid for that reason.

I lived with an Elise in my flat sharing days and she was a raging psycho... ruined the name for me for life!

Of your list I like Elodie and Fleur best. Ianthe is hard to pull off without a similarly jazzy surname and Danae just seems a bit try-hard to me!
