We’re due our second daughter soon and finding choosing the perfect name so difficult!
We like short names (2 syllables maximum) and nothing that gets shortened too a nickname. We also looking for something outside of the top uk 40.

Our shortlist so far:
Vienna
Indie (not sure if it’s a strong enough name for an adult)
Luna (maybe too popular?)

Any thoughts on these names? Open to new suggestions!

* "Vienna is three syllables, what about Viola? I think it's a prettier name and would avoid any future joke-potential about the city/canals/gondolas*"

That's Venice. Not Vienna.

Marnie is quite retro so I would stick to names like

Pearl
Esme
Ines
Polly
Nell
Tess
Vera
Willa

Marnie & Martha

Lexie and Bridie are lovely but you may not want the "ie" sound at the end when you already have Marnie.

Emma is beautiful, also Ada.

I had Dinah on my list

Not Luna. It's inviting people to call her Lunatic.
