We're stuck for inspiration. Please help!
I like quite harsh sounding baby names but DH so far isn't keen e.g.
Siân (my favourite, but rejected as common)
Margaret (boring)
Jana (our best friend)
Dana (a former colleague)
The only name he really likes so far is Juliette, but to me it's dated and fussy, plus I find Jools and July are awful. I'm going to propose Jacqueline and Annette as alternatives, but was hoping for some more ideas.
Extra complexity, we live abroad in a Germanic country. J names are pronounced with a Y or the French way, never the British way. Gs are risky pronounciation-wise. Es are pronounced A, and As are long and flat (e.g. Jana is Yaanaa, Eline is Aeleena). Most of the top hundred baby names are max 5 letters so anything fussy like Felicity will scream immigrant kid!
Thanks so much!
