Baby girl due... please help!

I didn't realise how many names rhymed.

We don't want anything too cute e.g Daisy, Poppy etc

We don't want anything too old fashioned e.g Betsy, Enid etc

Names we like

Eliza
Florence
Maeve
Clara
Leah (doesn't work with Lee)
Emily (Favourite name but doesn't work with Lee)
Rosa (Another Favourite but doesn't work with Lee)

We have considered but gone off:

Emilia
Amelia
Isabella
Isabelle
Hannah
Charlotte (harlot?)

Hit me with your favourite names pls.

What about Emma? If you like Emily it would sound very similar

True but it sounds like she has no surname

Emma Lee would be a very silly name to give her.

Absolutely love Maeve. I also like Maura and Aiofe.

Someone said it in the first few posts but Lydia Lee sounds like a film star, plenty of people would love that as a stage name. Gets my vote

Are 70s/80s names coming back?

I've noticed Samantha, Amanda, Andrea and Michaela so far on this thread

Sloane Lee

Now I've got that song by The Police going around in my head - and then somebody mentioned Roxanne!

Sara

Great suggestion - nobody doesn't like Sara Lee!!

Well that's me told 😶😄
I kind of presumed there would be a middle name in between too but leaving that up to the OP. If you add a middle name in it sounds really nice to me.

Could you hyphenate the name so it's 'Emily-Rose Lee' and then just call her Emily?

She'll probably drop the -Rose and will be Emily Lee
The Emma-Janes and Sarah-Louises of my era just get known by the first of the two hyphenated names.
