We need more girl names!

Myself and my partner, and in fact everyone around us thought we were having a boy and we have always had a 100% set in stone boys name. To everyone’s shock, we’re having a baby girl.

We have a few names that we both like: Eryn, Adelaide, Athena, Hallie and Everly. However, we’d like some more options.

We also have a list of names that we like for middle names: Guinevere, Margot, Sage, Amity, Monroe and Eleanora.

I’m gutted because I love Ottilie but he doesn’t like it at all. I find that I love lots of names, but he tends to veto the majority of them based on ‘he knows someone with that name’, ‘there’s a character called that in’ or just doesn’t like them.

We like quite unique/underused names as we both have unique first names and surnames and our boys name would also be quite unique.

I don’t think we will name her until she is born but time seems to be speeding ahead and we only have 11 weeks left. Please help!

I'm having a girl... I love the name Scout and this is the front runner (not to everyone's taste I know). Does anyone have any other ideas along those lines ?

I like:
