Unusual girls names. Sister for Fern

[MacnSue]

Need some inspo.. 39 weeks pregnant and still no names that are clear winners. DD1 is Fern and a sister on her way.

I like unusual and often short names such as Wren, Willa, Nell, Juno etc. DH likes Darcey but is it too popular?

Thanks in advance!

I LOVE the name Willa but dp has ruined that one for me as he has a william from a previous relationship (selfish )

We’re expecting DD3 and Fern was on our list for both her and dd2. Dd1 is Orla which is nice and short and hasn’t become too popular in the 9 years since she was born.

Darcey isn’t particularly popular in our area, I know of 2 aged 16 and 6

I don't think Darcey is too popular, but I also think it's not as nice as Fern.

How about Faith (if you don't mind them having the same initial)?

Darcey is my favourite of the ones in your OP. I know two, aged 12 and 7.

Willa is just gorgeous go with that.

I also don’t think darcey is that popular

Sylvie

Orla

Pearl

I personally prefer Willa or Wren but here are other (not too popular) suggestions;

Edith / Edie
Sadie
Margaret /Maggie
Clementine/ Clemmie
Roxanne/Roxanna
Pearl
Ottilie
Cora
Jemima
Holly

Gwen

Love Romy

Juno and Darcy are my favourite from your list. I wouldn't have Wren (although I love it) just because Wren and Fern sound quite stern together when they are both pretty names separately.
Or what about:
Romy
Etta
Willow
Lila

Thank you so much! I really like Etta and Romy too as suggested. I'm wondering if I've the correct pronunciation in my head - is it sounded 'Row-me' ?

I must admit Fern and Willa was a favourite of mine untill someone said she will get called willy at school 🙄

I thought of Niall but I know it's a boys name. I like it for a girl though!? Am I mad

I like Willa but people will think Willow alongside Fern. I’d feel shortchanged if I was called Darcey or Wren if my sister had the much classier name of Fern. Romy is nice, and Juno is OK. Nell is nice. Zoe?

When I read the title I though Nell, Willa, Alma, Carrie, Tabitha or Tess - and then read the OP and saw that my first two were already on your list! They all have the same lovely, retro, rural feel to them. I have considered them all (along with Fern!) for my DD and went with one of them! I just love names with this sort of vibe - I can imagine them all as little girls 100 years ago living in beautiful quaint villages and running round in the sunshine in their old fashioned dresses. Lovely!

Fern is nice. Darcey is awful.

@MacnSue the 10yo Willa I know doesn’t get called Willy! William has the actual sound of the word Willy (Willi) within it and yet it’s considered one of the most sensible names there is!

I like Romy. And yes, it is pronounced as you have asked.

For some reason my first thought seeing the title was Delilah but reading the OP it's probably way too long!

Nell, Fern and Juno are on my ‘definitely maybe’ name list for a baby girl- we never thought we’d have another baby let alone a girl so we named our cat Pearl which would have almost certainly been the name we’d have used otherwise.

I’m totally with you on the short, 4 letter names. I don’t know why but it just feels right to me.

Other names I like are,
Suki
Sylvie
Alba
Ambra
Cora
Veda (vey-da, it’s the yoga teacher in me, Sanskrit for knowledge)

And then to totally buck the trend, Raphaella is up there but shortened to Rapha.

I really Willa too but we have a Wilf so that’s a no for us.
