We've found that most of the names we think are pretty for a girl have got really popular eg Isabelle/Isabella, Liliana, Emilia. I like Marianna, but that's my goddaughter. Baby due in 10 days and we're still undecided. Any thoughts? I love Rosalie and other 'Rose' variants but DH doesn't. Thanks for inspiration x

What about Cecilia? Ticks a lot of the same boxes as some of the top 10 names but is relatively unusual. I really wanted it for dd but we went for Sylvie in the end.

LarkDescending · 11/08/2017 21:18

Estella, Fenella, Natasha?

Chloris33 · 11/08/2017 21:23

Love Cecilia but our last name starts & finishes with 'S' so doesn't work with our surname, alas. Considering Freya, though quite popular. DH already vetoed lovely names like Rosa & Lucinda! Saskia I love, but a close family member's name, so it's probably going to be a middle name.

My friend just called her daughter Tilia which is apparently Latin for the lime tree! Her DH is an arborist. Pretty name though.

Can I throw in some Irish ones for you? You might not like or go for but they're slightly more unusual but not batshit!
Niamh ("neeve"), Aoife ("eefa"), Caitlin, Ciara, Orla, Aoibha ("ae-va"), Roisin (can be either row-sheen or roh-sheen), Aisling/anglacised Ashling, Caoimhe ("keeva"), Eilis ("ay-lish"), Aine ("awn-ya"), Cara, Cliona (or Cliodhna), Clodagh ("clo-dah")

Can you tell I like C namesGrin
