Newborn girl needs a name

[seven201]

We have a newborn girl and aren't getting anywhere with names. She has a big sister called Isla.

I quite like Maeve, Alana and Neve but DH doesn't. He likes Amy and Tilly and is just rubbish at coming up with suggestions. We both don't mind Ava, so maybe she'll be Ava.

Coralie, Kristen, Fern, Jessie, Immy (not Imogen), Lara, Lana, Liv (not olivia), Ciara, Effie (don't even know what this one is short for!), Amelie, Elle, Poppy, Phoebe, Sienna I quite like.

I don't want a name that needs spelling out all the time or could be pronounced differently. No idea on middle names, but that can come later.

Names I don't like in case it helps with suggestions:
Jemima
Mabel
Evie
May
Arabella
Beatrice

Any ideas?

Congratulations OP. Remember - - - a rose by any other name etc!
Has Isla any ideas re names?

Seriously?

Maybe pre Internet but that is a name that can not be used anymore.

Love Tilly and Coralie ❤️

Sorry for not responding sooner, we've had a tough few days here! Had a better day today though. Still no closer with a name choice though. Some beautiful suggestions though. Will look through them with DH this week.

Someone asked what Isla wants her sister to be called - Jenny or Evie! Nice names, just not ones I'd pick.

Thank you everyone for taking the time to put forward your suggestions.

I don't understand why Lana is not a name you can use because of the internet? Although, I don't think Lana is the name we'd pick anyway, just curious!

Anal.

Sadly lots of porn stars use that name and there isn't a teenager that wouldn't know that.

I love Jenny, sounds perfect with Isla.

Glad you are having a better day today, it is a whirlwind when they are new.

Ah! Thanks @MossGrowsFat -
Definitely won't use that one then! It has reminded me how I used to teach a Lanesra which is Arsenal backwards. Luckily we're not into football!
