So far we have
Cora
Leila
Cleo
Libby

Lucy
Harriet
Clara

Any thoughts? None of them seem like “the one” so I’d also love any suggestions

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

My favourites are Harriet and Lucy, but I freely admit I like quite traditional names.

regina I think you’re right about Freya and Leila sounding too rhyme-y. Do you not think the same about Freya and Phoebe?

Cora - I really like. I only know one (aged 3) and she's lovely.
Leila - Pronounced the same as Layla? I like and love the Leila spelling.
Cleo - Like this too. It's not too common.
Libby - I like but know quite a few. Some a short for Elizabeth and others just a name on its own.
Lydia - Pretty. It's one of those names that never really seems to date. I know a few of all ages from adult to pre school.
Lucy - One of my all time favourites. Again it's a name that never goes out of favour. I named my angel baby Lucy.
Harriet - Lovely classic name. I also love Hattie.
Clara - absolutely love this! This is the name I'd choose if I had another daughter. It's just so pretty and feminine.
Penelope - I like. Could be shortened to Penny or Nelly.
Phoebe - Another of my all time favourites.

Other names I'm currently loving....
Adeline
Elora
Rosanna
Emmeline
Heidi

Cora - personally not a fan (does make me think of the old chain smoker in eastenders)
Leila - i like this
Cleo - personally not a fan
Libby - i like this
Lydia - love this
Lucy - i like this
Harriet - love this
Clara - love this
Penelope - love this - think penny would gradually become her known by name
Phoebe - love this

flyingpigs Flowers for your angel Lucy. I’m so happy you seem to like all of my choices! I absolutely love Heidi too but can’t use it for a couple of reasons unfortunately

Thank you LJFM2B. I think I’ve gone off Cleo and Cora now so I agree with your opinions. I really like Penny as a nickname - reminds me of the girl in inspector gadget!
