DH and I both like all the names below, but none of them really jump out at us, so other opinions would be helpful.

So far we like:

Jessica
Ella
Olivia
Skye
Lucy
Sylvie
Cleo

Thank you!

Cleo is short for Cleopatra
Clio is a Greek Muse (of History)
I really like both

How about Cassie (Cassandra Cassiopeia)

Cleo is lovely.
All the rest are way too overused or popular for my taste, but I know this doesn't matter to others.

For me, it would depend on what the surname is.

But I like

Lucy
Sylvie
Skye

Jessica, Sylvie, and Cleo are my favourites.

Which name has positive associations for you, personally?
Which one suits your surname?
What would the second name be?

Are you Scottish? Skye or Jessica
Are you Latvian or European or like precious metals? Silvie.
Do you like classic names that can be popular? Ella
Do you like children's literature? Lucy
Do you want your daughter to have a top ten name? Olivia
Do you like unusual, chic adult names? Cleo

Are any of the names the name of a special relative?

All are nice...
Lucy Jane
Skye Elspeth
Cleo Catherine
Ella Marion
Olivia Scarlett
Jessica Mary
Silvie Josephine

Lucy is my favourite.

Other suggestions - I love Hannah and Emma.

Jessica: I'm not sure... it's objectively lovely but to me it's still "of a time".

Ella: a bit wet.

Olivia: lovely but popular.

Skye: it's okay.

Lucy: lovely.

Sylvie: lovely.

Cleo: gorgeous. Clio is one of my all-time favourites.
