Baby Girl Name Inspiration

[Havanalily1806]

Struggling a lot to find a name for our baby girl.

I don't like anything too frilly, I much prefer strong sounding names, one or two syllables I think and nothing too popular, I would rather outside of top 100 or at least 40-50 or above. We also probably won't have middle names.

Names we like but can't quite agree on include
Erin: I love this but partner isn't sure
Luna: worried about popularity and cat/dog issue although I don't know any babies or pets called Luna
Raine: used to be the front runner, now not too sure, is it too negative? Also, only boys name we had was Rafe and we feel using Raine would completely rule out ever being able to use Rafe in the future as too similar?
Callie: more my partners favourite, I have concerns it's too similar to surname and begins with C and for me is too frilly.
Sadie: although it ends in ie I think it still sounds strong but the name is in the family so not really useable.

Any suggestions would be amazing, or thoughts on the names above.

I love Callie and Erin is ok.
How about April or Quinn?

Marnie
Brooke
Stella
Paige
Cora
Cassie instead of Callie?
Josie

Ingrid

Girls names I think of as strong sounding:

Alex / Alix
Brontë
Claire / Clare
Cleo
Elle
Eve
Fern
Greta
Gwen
Hero
Joan
Jane
Jude
Juno
Kate / Cate
Leda
Lena
Mara
Maren
Maud / Maude
Mira
Nell
Nia
Romy
Sage
Scout
Sloane
Tess
Thea
Wren
Zoe

I know it’s subjective but I wouldn’t say any of those names were strong. To me following names are what I’d call strong.
Catherine. Rosa. Anna. Lucy. Elizabeth. Rebecca. Harriet. Jessica. Olivia. Alexandra. Isabelle. Cynthia. Bridget. Charlotte. Abigail. Sarah. Eleanor.

Really like Erin and Callie - how about:

Cassie
Nina
Elin
Robin
Pia
Ellen

Jude/Judith
Ruth
Orla
Leah

My favourites from your list are Sadie and Erin

Love Sadie and Callie. Both where on my list of names when I was pregnant (I had a little boy)

belle/bella
freya
maize
cece
maeve/maeva
aria

Love Callie. Erin is ok but not keen on the others

I do think of Luna as being a pet's name. I prefer Lara, or perhaps Eliana with the nickname Lana.

Here are some other ideas:

Hallie (to avoid starting with 'C')
Saffron (Saffie/Saffy)
Lydia
Erika
Maya
Freya
Isla

Callie is gorgeous

kaya
piper
stevie
maeve
joni
coco
cora
cleo
juno
zelda
zara
tara
eden
edie
quinn
romy
nina

Erin: - has been in the top 30 fairly recently. Sounds a bit harsh
Luna: - not keen
Raine: just sounds like rain otherwise ok
Callie: a bit twee
Sadie: fine

Thinking of what you've suggested,
Robyn, Lana, Rita, Connie, Saskia

Sadie: although it ends in ie I think it still sounds strong but the name is in the family so not really useable.
It's not the -ie ending that weakens a name, it's the combinations of vowels and consonants.
Recently popular names have had lots of vowelly names with L and V as the main consonants. K/C, S, T etc sound stronger
Try each first name with the surname.
Middle names are not used that much and I'd pick one with meaning not a filler one.
Something like Sadie Rosalind Curname seems stronger than Sadie Rose Curname

You might like ..
Sally - more business like than Sadie and means the same.
Sarah
Helen
Cedel
Sabine

Raine is nice. Rafe or Rafael are very handsome so I would not use Raine if you think it is too similar.

Erin is lovely. Raine isn’t nice.

I know multiple dogs called Luna, Callie and Sadie. All okay names, but very doggy.

Morgan
Schonn
Camdyn
Brooke
Blair
Madison
Blake

Luna is awful (loony) and Raine is either like weather or a really chavvy sound. The others are OK and Erin is really nice.

How about Ada?

Also Saffron, Ayla or Wren?

Zoe or Stella were on my list along with Sadie and Erin

Xanthe
Mary
Tamsin

The only string name you’ve listed there I would say is Erin. The rest are still quite ‘frilly’.

Emma
Fern
Freya
Lydia
Astrid
Martha
Harriet
Beatrix
Thea
Nell
Orla

I think we have quite similar taste in names.
I like

Judith
Nora (love this!)
