We are really struggling and feel as though we have considered every name in every book!

Our current favourites are Hazel, Celeste and Ottilie which we obviously like but not sure if we love!

The top contender we had (Mabel) has been used by close friends so has taken this off the table.

We would also prefer the name to not be in the top 100 but doesn’t sound made up or unrecognisable.

Suggestions of names we might not have considered yet would be greatfully appreciated!

Marsaili Flora strikes me as Scottish, this would be a Scottish companion.

Maeve is a name growing on me. Which is nice and simple and a bit like Mabel maybe?

I love the name Nora unlike many. But obviously it rhymes. I like Cecily as someone said above. Similar vibe? Or even Cecile which is quite sophisticated sounding and a bit like Celeste.

On a different track Elspeth is nice.

I also like the Iris Violet names. But they are popular aren't they at the moment. I also like Ingrid and Frida. Like the strong sounds and the artist association with the latter. Maybe too close with the F. I like Fia too. Another F!

I have a soft spot for Cass and Cassie. I like Cassandra. Most on here like Cassia. Flora and Cassie is quite nice.
