Okay, I have quite specific requirements for baby girl 2 but haven't come across "the one" yet.

I like: Amber, Phoebe, Matilda,

I like names that are easily spelled/pronounced, but not top 10, have a little bit of an edge and could stand the test of time. Ideally around 5-8 letters and not end in the letter Y.

You laugh, but Gizella is an actual Hungarian name :D

Yea. Kind of the point of the joke...

I don't think Amber, Phoebe or Matilda are spunky (but they are nice).

I always liked Sasha for a girl though I know its originally a boys name (nick name for Alexander). I think it has a certain energy.

Sasha is for girls too! Diminutive of Alexandra. Just like Alex.

Kate; Jackie; Catriona

I love your choices, I also love a spunky girls' name. I would include Jemima, Harriet, Lois, Clara, Martha.

I did not know this! My daughter has a non English variant on Alexandra and I'd love to call her Sasha

Alba, Fie (or Fiona for something more recognisable), Winnie, Lena, Katharina, Lovisa, Josephine.

(I’ve been watching a lot of continental European drama - there’s some great name inspiration there)
