Hi all,
I'm 20 weeks pregnant and we found out at the scan this week we're having a little girl! We're over the moon and so excited as we already have a little boy so will be lovely to have one of each.
We named our son Daley as we wanted something unusual which we're unlikely to come across when he goes to school etc. We absolutely love the name and it's perfect for him.
We want an equally unusual name for our little girl, but a beautiful and either girly or American-sounding name if possible. We had Leia at the top of our list last time if we were having a girl but I'm not 100% on it anymore. We have a few other names we like but can't really agree on one together and don't feel as though we've found 'the one' yet.
Any suggestions welcome please - something unusual and pretty.
Thank you! xx

Or Zara, I haven't heard of anyone under the age of 30 called that.

NerrSnerr · 28/05/2017 21:47

I'd stick with the multi event theme and go for
