It’s a girl!

DC2 was born early this morning and it’s a girl, but we only had a boys name picked out. DD1 name came to us so quickly and easily and was chosen at 10 weeks but we have no names. DD 1 is called Callie. Here are some girls names on our list but none of them are jumping out at us:
Gemma
Tia
Briar
Hazel
Tara
Nina

We live in a small village so don’t want her to have the same name as anyone close in age to her. Please rate the names above and suggest more names.

Leah Felicity is beautiful

Tellmemaa · 20/12/2019 13:47

Hazel Felicity is beautiful. I really don’t like Robyn. I find it very downmarket

villamariavintrapp · 20/12/2019 13:51

I like Tara, Hazel, and Nina from your first list. Also love Leah, but it's the similar sounds to Callie, just in a different order iyswim.. might not bother you though?

FizzyGreenWater · 20/12/2019 14:02

'Callie and Leah' end and then start with a 'le' sound! Not Leah.

Tara best - lovely, underused but classic, nicely different to Callie

Don't like Briar - she'll constantly get a puzzled face and 'can you spell that?' It doesn't sound like it looks - Bryah? Briah? Brian?!

Robyn ok but a bit dull somehow

Hazel awful, it's a bit in fashion at the moment so will get more common but it's pretty ugly. Also, it has the L sound that makes it quite matchy with Callie really.

AfterSomeAdvice1234 · 20/12/2019 14:08

I like Nina from your first list and Robyn from your second. What about

Frida/Freida
