Our baby girl was born prematurely by emergency c/s 10 days ago and she doesn't have a name yet. I'm feeling the pressure with everyone asking but am not sure about my shortlist any more and can't agree on one with DH.

I like 2 syllable names ending with an 'a' or 'e' sound, we have Poppy and Theo already. Also like Greek names. I think she needs a strong name. Surname is one syllable starting with 'W'. On our shortlist are:
Alice - my Grandma's name (maybe good as a middle name?)
Juno - does 'o' ending work with Theo? Are we brave enough
Phoebe
Bonnie
Sylvie - DH's favourite
Gracie
Orla
Cassia
Ariel
Florence
Iris

I would really appreciate some thoughts on our list and/or new inspiration. Thanks!

Congrats! Hope you’re doing well.

I personally think Theo and Juno is a bit matchy, but love the others.

Sylvie and Florence (means flourishing, which seems fitting!) are my favourites I think.

My favourites would have to be Cassia or Bonnie. Though, Phoebe and Alice would also be nice alongside Poppy and Theo.

As for other suggestions, Alicia, Cara or Flora would be lovely.

Thanks everyone for your help SmileFlowers we're still struggling to decide/agree. Then I saw 2 names mentioned today on another post, which are a bit different to my choices - what do you think of Merryn and Romilly? Are they very popular in the UK (We are in New Zealand at the moment) thanks again Grin

I like Merryn more than Romily and I don’t know anyone with either name (I’m in the UK).

How about:-

Penelope
Caroline

Love Alice and think it goes well with both of the above.

Congratulations on your baby, hope you’re recovering wellFlowers

Phoebe, Iris, Orla and Alice are beautiful, I'm afraid I don't like the rest!
