Girls name - help needed!

After much soul searching, my dh and I have decided to change our dd's name. I'm looking for a name which is not too popular and is a strong name, preferably one which is an older name.
I would ideally like it to begin with E, D or M as middle name starts with D.
I really need help with this as I was not in a good place when DD was born and have been through a tough time trying to make peace with her name but have decided the best option is to change it.
Thank you

Oh yes, I forgot Edie, lovely name! And Edith's good as a more grown up name.

I think it’s good to change it rather than stay miserable about it.

What name are you changing from?

Worrier13 · 18/05/2019 10:03

The name I want to change from is Isabelle. It seems like such a mammoth task to pick another though. I don't know where to begin.

Isabelle is a lovely name OP.

But its handy to know what the current name is so suggestions can suggest "different" names.

I like Eleanor, Martha and Daphne
