Baby due New Years. So far we like:

Esra
Lara
Élodie
Alana/Alara
Frida
Esme
Scarlett

To go with a double-barrelled surname. Any opinions? I like strong female names. Or any other ideas appreciated Xmas Smile

Definitely Frida. After Frida Kahlo. Wanted this name for dd2 but our surname sounds quite Germanic (although it isn't) so I thought people would think she was German all the time.

I think Ezra is a boys' name so I would avoid that. Personally I don't like Scarlett (will get called Scar). Best are Lara and Elodie...

Yes after Frida Kahlo Smile I do like it a lot. Although I know a dog with that name - but don't see owner or dog anymore - but still sticks!

Esra is a turkish girls name - I'm half turkish so did like it for that reason. To me it is very feminine sounding but strong.

Agree about Scarlett - H likes it a lot but I don't like that there's no nn for it

Ok Ok, apols. If Esra is a Turkish girls' name then I stand corrected! It sounds nice.

Lara is by far the best of these IMO. A lovely-sounding name, and not too many around.

Esme is pretty popular round here if that kind of thing bothers you

Good Luck whatever you choose!

Definitely Lara.

Definitely not Elodie.

I like Lara and Elodie.
