Me, again.

I'm so sorry I'm back again for more help as DH and I still can't agree on names. I'm sure you saw my last threads, as I had plenty of responses, which had a mixture of names on there. We're back to the drawing board!

I think to be able to agree on a name, we'd need something refreshing or revived, not too "fussy" or long as DH says (e.g Valentina, Theodora, Dorothea - sadly I adore these!), not a trend or too popular, something that is really smart for a little girl and grown woman and nothing too exotic or too plain. Oh and nothing too cutesy or nicknamey. Not asking for much eh 😂

We feel really lost and are going around in circles. For us, it's the hardest decision ever so the help is much appreciated!

I really hope you fab lot are able to give some refreshingly new suggestions for us?

🤞🏼❤️❤️

It’s hard, everyone will have a different interpretation of what you are asking for.
The names that come to mind for me are -
Elsie

Florence.. maybe to long.
