DC2 due imminently. DD1 name is Gaia and would like something in a similar fashion. Problem is that we really can't come up with anything.

Ruled out Hera, Juno, Isis, Aurora etc as they're too similar. Like Astrid and Aster but they don't work with our surname.

Any ideas? I like Isla but every second girl around here has that name which does put me off tbh.

Pascal I did not know that! I think it may be a stretch too far though, even in our hippy city enclave

Iona. Cleo. Sukie. Luna. Maud.

Zilpha. It's pronounced Zilpa, not Zilfa.
It's an old name, but never here it now.

Starlamack thank you for that link, those names are fabulous and batshit in equal measure. DD would certainly agree that Starlight would be an excellent choice for a baby sister! Lyric is also very cute.
