Our baby girl is still nameless...

[LeopardLover]

Hello! Had a surprise baby girl who is still nameless because we were convinced (haha) she was a boy.

Please can you send me lists of names? I really appreciate any help! I don't like typically traditional names, I want something unusual ideally.

Names I love that don't suit / fit:

Elkie
Oriana
Solene
Leni

Love but too popular (or vetoed by DH):

Luna
Nova
Noa

Thanks!

Lowri
Vaila
Vania
Lorna

Sage
Sailor
Cove
Nala
Noel

I like short names that are slightly boyish as find it cute.

Names I've come across recently
Tala
Merryn
Posie
Monroe
Ceci
Zela

Cleo
Juno
Aphra

Minna or Mina.
Etta
Saffron

Love Elkie/Elke too from your list.

Mietta
Corfu
Wyuna
Nancy

What about Noelle
It's a bit more feminine than nova or noa

What about mhairi or mhaire..pronounced marry the first or varrie the second.. It's Irish Gaelic for Mary and quite modern but unusual at the same time. Congratulations on your beautiful new daughter. ♥

Bella
