Hi all, my partner and I are expecting and aren't sure of names yet. We don't know baby's gender yet, so are trying to come up with names for both.
We don't want anything extremely common, and it doesn't even need to be English, it can be a name from anywhere. What suggestions do you have?
So far we have
Aoife (EE-FA) and Elai, but I prefer both as middle names.
