Majorly need some girls names ideas , I have just over 6 weeks and not one name I like .
About 3 weeks ago I went off my chosen fav names and now am completely confused and have no list or ideas what so ever !
I've been looking at old film star names but more for the cuteness . Any ideas , i like long names that can be shortened to something cute!

It might seem pedantic, but I think it's really important to not see it as naming a 'baby girl'. You are naming a woman - so I'd go for something strong and feisty.
