Open to suggestions, girls’ names please!

[Orphlids]

Have found out baby is a girl. DS is Magnus. We were going to go with Margot, but as it’s shooting up the popularity charts at a furious rate, we are going back to the drawing board. Some of the names we like are quite unusual. I’m open to ideas which might be considered mildly bonkers.

I like Loveday (my favourite, but DP says no),
Celeste,
Delphine,
Gaia,
Amaris (sounds too much like amorous, doesn’t it?),
Lennox (DP wrinkled his nose in horror),
Cecilia (can’t have this as my new and very evil stepmother is named Celia),
Joan,
Marianne (doesn’t go with surname, which ends in an ‘an’ sound).

DP has suggested Hero (which I like), and Savannah (which I don’t), and that is pretty much all he can come up with at present.

Would love to hear some of your suggestions, preferably not within the top 100, if poss. Is there an unusual name you’ve always loved but decided not to use? I occasionally see people on here comment they would have loved to have used such-and-such but weren’t brave enough. Thanks, all!

What about Cecily instead of Cecilia? Or still to close? I really like Delphine on your list?
Marigold, Persephone, Amethyst, Magnolia,Coco all ones I've wanted to use but haven't

Just thought maybe Magnolia bit close to Magnus. Opal is another one I like

Celine
Marigold
Marianna
Juniper
Beatrice
Estella
Diana

I met a lovely little girl called Alba today .
I loved the name .
It was only afterwards I thought of the huge bird in the Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner .
Or the song by Fleetwood Mac .

And Merryn

Greta
Pearl
Amaryllis
Anya
Juno
Wilma

Agree with Delphine.

Augusta? Clarissa? Shame about Cecilia. Agree with your DH about Lennox!

Do you not like Mariana rather than Marianne.

Talliah
Dorothy
Claudia
Elodie
Albany
Amberly
Bronte
Farrah
Juliette
Vanessa
Leanna

Heather
Miriam
Judith
Taliss

Would have used Vashti and/or Corinna if we'd had girls.

Maybe too cutesy, but they are two names I adore.

Damaris, Iolanthe, Hebe, Amber, Yasmin.

My names I love but wouldn’t have used are Linnet and Psyche. I like Hebe as well.

Antigone.

On a side note, and I know you didn't ask for opinions, but Hero is quite a moniker to live up to. I'm trying to imagine a teenager or middle-aged woman saying, "Hi, I'm Hero." Perhaps it would be better as a middle-name if you love it.

Ooh, some cracking suggestions here, thank you ladies! I do like Coco, but we have a Mimi in the family, and I think that’s got the same feel. Some of your suggestions are already on my list: Diana, Greta, Juno, Farrah (I had a great uncle Farrah, so always thought of it as a man’s name, but I love it for a girl), Juliet... I do like a Shakespearean name.

@whatausername, ha ha, I would love the opportunity to introduce myself with a name that might make eyebrows shoot up! But yes, I know what you mean.

Astrid
Obéline
Alizéa
Pearl
Primrose

@missmouse101, I love Damaris, but was worried a bit by the Dam at the beginning. Will people think of damn, damnation?

My friend's adult daughter is called Damaris. Everyone calls her by her full name and as far as I know damn hasn't been a problem. I think it's gorgeous!

There is a little girl called Britt in DS2's class who has a brother called Magnus. Other sister is Ingrid. I love all of those names

@YoureAllABunchOfBastards, thank you, you genius. Britt has already been suggested and rejected by DP, but Ingrid is certainly going on the list. Love it.

Loveday, Gaia, Lennox and Hero are awful. They will almost certainly lead to bullying at school.

How about:

Azalea
Cadence
Lilac
Bluebell
Roxy
Crystal

They're some of my guilty pleasure names that I don't think are too ludicrous.

Antonia
Claudia
Miranda
Viola
Selena

Magnus is such a great name. I actually think Margot's popularity has saved you; they're maybe a bit too similar, and it doesn't feel as rare/special as it once did (and as Magnus still does).

I'd go with something with the same sharp German/Scandi feel, like:

Astrid
Ingrid
Saskia
Heidi
Imogen
Gretchen (most certainly you'll laugh, but I can't help it, it's a fave of mine!)
Claudia
Isolde

Magnus is superb. I think the following would go with such a fabulous name:
Calliope
Persephone
Clementine
Hermione
Cecily
Constance
