Aneurin is a great name, but it’s not a girls’ name.

VenusClapTrap · 31/03/2020 18:27

I like Lara and Cecily.

Theodora - not a fan of this one personally. Thea is a nice name though.

Cecily - very pretty and elegant without being over the top. Definitely spell it this way though rather than Cecilie.

Emmeline - don't like this one at all sorry, too over complicated and fussy.

Lara - short, simple and lovely. Be warned though, it's likely to get misread as Laura.

Nina - don't like it, it sounds a bit silly to me.

I'd go for Cecily or Lara, they're both unusual and nice.

My daughter is called Nina Iris so obviously I like it. They haven't used the nee nawh sound as an emergency siren since the late 80's so most normal, non twatty people won't make comments like that.

Emmeline & Cecile/Cecily are lovely as well.

Middle names

Rosalie
Sylvie
Maeve
Eloïse
Léonie

Very pretty!

Elbugly · 03/04/2020 15:04

I actually love all of these - great choices. Lara might be my fave very underused

AlliKaneSon · 04/04/2020 22:28

Lara Francesca is stunning!

MamaCoco123 · 05/04/2020 11:47

Theodora - I like Thea but not Theodora
Cecily/Cecilie - Cecily is lovely
Emmeline - nice but i feel a bit over done these days?
Lara - love
Nina - really dislike

Middle names i think the longer ones in your list above would be good! Or how about:
Alice
Seraphina / Serafina
Victoria
