For a girl? What are your thoughts?
Brothers names are Old Testament Biblical.

Most of the biblical girls names either have shocking meanings (like Delilah and Jemima although the names themselves are really pretty).

Or they are names I grew up with and have too many negative associations that I can't seem to shift (Ruth, Hannah, Esther, Naomi, Sarah, Joanna, Judith, Rebecca).

Or just generally dont see the appeal/they dont suit what I'm looking for (Phoebe - spelling issues, Abigail - will become Abi, Bethany - will become Beth, Elizabeth - too many shortened versions and prefer a name less likely to be shortened, Martha - dowdy old lady).

It's very hard! I prefer a given name that's not likely to be shortened (I know it's not guaranteed, but less likely than say Elizabeth). Boys names are so easy compared to girls!

Thank you @Misspotterscat and @rainbowstardrops 💕
Will keep the two final names and decide when she's here.... Eden Matilda or Sofia Violet.
Thanks for your help.
