Baby girl here - help, we can't decide her name!

[Stuckneedhelp]

I'd really love your help! Our DD arrive a few days ago and we still can't agree on a name. My favourites are Leonora and Marina. DH likes Alice. Im worried Alice is too like one of our names (Alex) plus it just doesn't excite me. DH thinks Leonora isn't that elegant and she'll just end up being Leo. Open to other suggestions but looking for something elegant, classic, strong and feminine but not too frilly. Other names we have considered but aren't quite right include Genevieve, Clementine, Beatrice and Constance.

I've decided either

Elaina
Rosa
Romy
Annalise

For mine. Thats in order of preference.

I like similar names to you and we have a Josephine, who gets called JoJo, Josie or Posy. Works well in French or English. Like Leonora but not Marina. There was a female character in Last of the Summer Wine called that, would put me off, sorry

Some lovely suggestions up there!

I love Grace, but a close friend has already taken that.

As an alternative to Leanora, I like Linnea (Pronounced "Lin-naya"). It has Swedish origins and is a type of flower (see the photo). Also Eleanor.

Congratulations! I know a Marina who shortens it to Mina which I think is quite nice.

Vania?

I like Linnea (Pronounced "Lin-naya"). It has Swedish origins and is a type of flower which was named after Carl Linnaeus, the ‘father of taxonomy’ so is a great name
if biology is your thing!

Tabitha, Cordelia, Sylvia?
