Baby due soon but still no name

I know we'll still have a while to decide before we have to register her name, but we'd like to at least have a few names we love on our shortlist for when she arrives.

Names we really like but can't use for various reasons are Lydia, Wren, Sadie, Isobel, Bridie, Cassandra, Ivy, Brooke, Lyra, and Clementine.

Any suggestions are appreciated!

Carmen

It means song in Latin - I love it. Good luck!

Tattyjet · 05/09/2019 21:11

Naomi? Meaning often listed as ‘pleasant’ but I read somewhere that it is closer to ‘my delight’ which I thought was lovely.
