Okay lovely Mumsnet’ers, I have a nameless baby girl, please help! We like names that are not too modern but not too traditional. Helpful I know!
Basically nothing in the top names, but also nothing that sounds made up and too American! But on the flip-side nothing too ‘old fashioned’!
Here is a list I like but for reasons listed can’t use:

Bryony - family name
Claudia - friends name
Tamsin - friends name
Cleo - DH doesn’t like it
Cali - DH doesn’t like it
Ivy - family name
Saffron - a bit of a mouthful with our surname

Heidi was top of the pile for a while but I feel like it’s suddenly very common and is putting me off slightly…

Would love some views and ideas if anyone has any.
I know you’re thinking I’m probably being too picky and overthinking it and you’re probably right but I’m now very stuck! :)

THANK YOU!

We didn’t register DS’ name until the day before we would have been fined, and we were still trying to decide on the car ride over!

Instead of Cleo or Callie, would be like Clara?

I don’t know any Heidi’s currently and I work in a school, I don’t think it’s particularly common.

Otherwise random ones that pop in my head when I read your list…
