Sisters Baby Girl - urgent name help*

Hello all ! My sister who is 20 is having a baby girl in December and can’t find the perfect name.
Ideas:
Ophelia - getting very common so won’t be using
Ocean -
Bluebell -
Tamsin - would get nn tam which isn’t nice (too old fashioned)
Estella - seems too old fashioned
Alaska - probably a bit out there
Aurora - also getting quite common but we love it

Please give name suggestions and what you think of these names
Thanks x

This thread is a classic example of why MN has such a bad rep for bullying behaviour.

OP, I once met a girl called Oceané (Oss-ee-ann) which your sister might like judging by her other choices.

I really like Tamsin/Tamzin, and Estella is a beautiful name. Not keen on the others though.

@Roseg990

How do they sound like stripper names? And I’m sorry but it is quite urgent baby due early December!
That’s not urgent. I’m due in December and don’t have a name yet. Plenty of time to think about it.

I really like Tasmin. Extremely similar to Tamsin and Tas is cooler than Tam.

Alaska makes me think of Alaska Thunderfuck.

Estella is very pretty though I think I slightly prefer Estelle or Stella.
I'm not very keen on the others to be honest.
I met an Alaska the other day. I don't know what I expected an Alaska to be like but I think I assumed she would somehow be a bit exotic and she really wasn't.

I do not like Paisley; it makes me think of how.irritating it is to get to the airport from Glasgow. I do like Ocean and Tamsin (not Tam) and how about Stella or Astra instead of Estella?

Ophelia - getting very common so won’t be using definitely not ❌
Ocean - not great but better than some others❌
Bluebell - not keen❌
Tamsin - would get nn tam which isn’t nice ✔️(too old fashioned) like compared to most of the others
Estella - seems too old fashioned favourite ✔️
Alaska - probably a bit out there❌
Aurora - also getting quite common no it's 'common' ❌

If you like Estella...

Gisella/Giselle - nickname Gigi
Esmerelda - nickname Esme
