I’ve got 2 weeks left to name baby girl. Ive trawled through thousands of names and can’t find the one.

Some I’ve liked but ruled out are;

Harriet- too similar to sibling name
Isla- too popular
Iris- DH doesn’t like
Phoebe- like but can’t make myself love it
Erin- like but know another Erin that isn’t a nice person and it just makes me think of them!

I want something classic and that is a normal known name, but not too popular.

Please help! I’m getting desperate.

If you are not sure go for classic, perhaps with several diminutives. You dont need to be in love with the name, it will grow on you over time.

Henrietta

Must have missed the 'classic' requirement.
