Really need to get some options for DD, due in April!

Contenders so far are:

Erica
Erin
Freya
Bethany/Bettany
Alexis

I'm hoping not to repeat our slight mistake with DS- we thought that Sebastian would be a relatively unusual but not too 'out there' name. Turns out it is one of the most popular boys names for his generation in our area of SW London! Confused

I have a Miranda and one of her teachers said it was a "hard name".
How about Margaret, Millicent, Marina, Edwina, Charlotte, Celeste, Estelle.

If you like Welsh names how about

Angharad (can be shortened to Harry or Annie)
Alys (my daughter's name)
Anwen
Ffion
Bronwen or Bronwyn
Eirlys
Seren
Lowri

I also really like Alyth (pronounced A-lith), I think that's Scottish.

Good luck choosing! We didn't decide on a name until about three days before she was born! She was going to be Arwen or Anwen but none really quite fit. Then as soon as Alys was discovered we knew that was the one Smile

Erica - yes, quite unusual. Heather might be an alternative
Erin - ok but a bit nothingy
Freya - overpopulat
Bethany/Bettany - Bettany is a bit too surnamey, Bethany is nicer
Alexis -yes

My name is Erin and it was popular in the 80s but I dont think anyone is using Erin these days. It was very popular to the point where I was never the only Erin in my class but I don't think that would be a problem nowadays! Otherwise it's a good name for being young and being an adult. Easy to spell, easy to say, easy to remember. I've grown to like and appreciate it. I dont think it's the most feminine name but it's short and sweet!

When I think of a strong girl name, I think of Athena or Victoria or Alexandria. Greek or Italian names for the win there!
