Louisa (it's my least favourite. But I think it would work pretty much everywhere?)
Isadora (2nd favourite)
Virginia (absolute favourite. But it it too virginal?)
Isolda

Arik
Emmett
Yaron
Yonatan (that's not a creative spelling, btw)

I think DH will be disappointed that his favourite girl's name is out...

Isolde/Isolde and Tristan, I think is only similar to Romeo and Juliet, though less well known... perhaps. People use Juliet. Romeo, not so much Grin

thanks But idk, maybe the fact that you say it's your favourite but still misspelledf it (I'm not trying to insult you, btw) is maybe speaking against the name? Thank you for commenting

So sorry, I've just seen your reply. I can't believe I turned it into another name. I still like it, and I like Yaron more than Yoran Grin

Bold fail...and autocorrect changed Yoran to Goran but I saw in time! I wonder if it changed Yaron to Yoran? It was my typing

About different sounding names. My DS is 2, but his name is pronounced differently by me (and my family) and by my husband (and all others where we live). We tried hard to find a name that sounds the same in the 3 languages we speak, but it was just not possible. So far my DS doesn't seem confused at all. He just replies to both versions.

@WaitroseCoffeeCostaCup

Thanks. I honestly really really love that name!

@Abrahamkin
Oh, thanks. That's good to know. I think if DH and his family use the English pronunciation it's better. Because then that pronunciation is still the LO's name. But if we all say Yonatan and people at school (who see Jonathan) would obviously say it the English way... I think that could make a child kind of angry... maybe?
Plus, Jonathan would probably be an easier name in the UK...

Although, I do think that Yaron is really nice as well, tbh.

Ah, maybe that did happen. Trying to write Apolline with my ipad is genuinely awful (it keeps changing it...!!).

Isolde is out. DH is a bit "meh", but yeah... The pronunciation "issue", the whole Wagner thing. Nope...
Romeo is actually quite nice, isn't it? ;)
