Louisa
Maria
Mia
Laila, Leila or Layla
Vienna
Dulcie

Thank you, I did use Google for the spelling but you're right, it is Ottilie

I want to add:

Cerys
Carys
Nausicaa

Beatrix

Octavia
Macaela

Jocasta

Nausicaa looks like nauseaous and no way from me!

Odette/Odetta
Coralie
Verda
Viola
Dulcie

Nala
Chia
Antigone
Elodie
Marta
Ennis
Quinn

Ottolie - Ottilie is lovely
Zara - love
Mariah - ok
Nieve - I like Niamh
Cerys - lovely
Carys - ok
Nausicaa - no

How about:

Penelope
Alexandra
Sasha
Gabriella
Meredith
Charlotte
Lara
Sara
Nigella

Nerissa
Cecily
Rhiannon
Naomi

If you like Carys/Cerys (Welsh origin) and Nieve, then Nia is the Welsh form of Nieve/Niamh. Close also to Zara in that it’s 2-syllable.

You might also like:

Cara
Cora
Etta
Eloise
Honor
Felicity

I've never heard Nausicaa before. Where's it from? Quite pretty, I'm not convinced by the double a at the end.

I love Zara, Cerys and Carys. Like Nieve. Not keen on Ottilie or Mariah.

How about:
Aphra, Astrid, Ariel, Amberley, Bronte, Callie, Celeste, Clarice, Dulcie, Ebony, Effie, Erin, Ffion, Giselle, Halle, Hazel, Iona, Ida, Inez, Jemima, Josie, Katy, Livia, Leona.

@blameitonthecaffeine there is a character in a Japanese animated Ghibli film called Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (1984). A strong female character who wants to save the environment (and fantastic movie, it aged very well)

Rosalie
Colette
Lois
Emmeline

Is Nieve an attempt to anglicise Niamh? You're better off with the latter, I think.

Thanks Jaffacake . That's a good association.

Bit of a mix there…. Suggestions

nora

aurora
anya

Nausicaa is famously a figure from Homer’s Odyssey, much older than a Japanese animation.

Nieve is awful as is Ottolie
Nausicaa nn Nause?

It's from the Odyssey, Greek myth. I read it in A-Levels and fell in love with it. It is pronounced Nor-SIK-Aya and it's to do with nautical stuff as she was something to do with the sea or water, as I remember, it was a long time ago.

I was also taught in A-Levels that the name Maria is the Italian way to say the English name Mariah, pronounced like Carey, and I love it. She may have been wrong but I've never questioned her, she was my English Lit teacher and we were doing Jane Austen and she pronounced the name Mariah that way from one of her books.

I'm very into names, but can't decide on another. Boys' name is even more difficult! Plus I can't agree with my husband who likes John or Fred etc. and I know I'm being a narcissist but I want a name that's a bit more original/not heard every day.

Thank you everyone, and for the comments. I am in love with a couple of the names people were most critical of but I'm okay with that.

Here's my list I'm going to put to husband:

Ottolie
Zara
Mariah
Nieve
Vivienne/Vivian
Carys/Cerys
Ines
Roseanne
Maeve
Rosalie
Isa
Ariel
Noah/Noa
Noelle
Jemima

Not "Isa" - not sure how that got in there.
