Due DC4 in a few weeks and we can't agree on a girl's name. Boy's name sorted.

The only one we marginally agree on is Penelope but even though it was my suggestion, I'm not sure about it. Is it too long? A bit of a mouthful? Pretentious? Also my husband fully intends to use Penny but I'm not into nicknames, fine if it happens later in life but would prefer us to refer to our baby as the name we choose and not a nickname. Not having nicknames was a factor in choosing the other kids' names!

Others I like are:
Lila
Robyn
Eva - but bit put off my the number of Ava, Evie etc names. They all blend into each other a bit.
Lara
Harper - but have the beckhams ruined it?

He likes Rachel and Rebecca. I like them but theyre a bit boring maybe and can't stand becks/Becky.

Opinions on all welcome!

I'm in Ireland - veto Rachel and Rebecca, literally the country is full of them (in fact my two best friends have those names)

Love Lila and Robyn, Penelope is sweet too. Smile

I know that you're not looking for another boys name but have you thought about Nevan?
