Hi all - just looking for your thoughts and any extra ideas?

Our favourites so far are
Carys
Iris
Saoirse.

I also like Remi, Rory, Niamh, Cora, Margot.

Any other names you think I’d like, or preferences from the list?

Thanks in advance.

@JC1991 I'm welsh so I would feel confident pronouncing Erith but they may need to explain it a bit as they get older.

@TenThousandSpoons0 I love Carys, Iris and Cora.

Yeah I imagine there will be a few corrections with pronouncing - I’m Scottish but my husband and I both pronounce it slightly differently 😂

I like Carys, Iris and Margot.

Remi and Rory are boys‘ names.

Erith is an industrial area in south east London.

It’s also a Hebrew name

Carys and Iris are very nice.

You've two boys' names on your secondary list which is a bit odd, Remi and Rory. They really aren't girls' names Confused

Erith is a dull bit of Kent.

Love everyone of those names! All lovely.

Thanks everyone :)
We are not in the UK, here both Rory and Remi would be unisex. Saoirse I think people find difficult to pronounce wherever, just need to decide whether we love it enough to deal with that! Carys seems to be the favourite for you all, I think we will end up going with that - just trying to keep an open mind for another few weeks in case something else perfect comes along :)
Thanks again
