What's your favourite unfussy girl name?

Dd3 is due any day, we won't name her till we meet her but I'm struggling to even get a shortlist.

By unfussy I mean something not too out there, not made up and not a nickname.

Thanks!

I'd go Leah over Lyra (but live with a Dtar Wars geek so wouldn't be possible!)

Leah
Erin

For some reason I'm not so keen on Leah. I think it's the way it all blends into one sound.

I must say that I refused to answer to any nicknames during my youth and it continues to adulthood. If i introduce myself as Gabriella, i WILL correct you if you insist on Gabs, Gabi, Ella, Brie etc. So i would never shorten Juliet to Jules or Elisenda to Eli unless that person gives it the ok. Such beautiful names get shortened to such bland beige flaccid nns that I wonder why people bother!

  • my name isn't Gabriella!

User Grin it is my most favorite name which is partly why I'm struggling here I think. To me nothing will ever be as good as Naomi (although dd1's name is a close second)!
