Due a baby girl soon and we’re struggling so much with names. We have a son who has a 1 syllable name that can’t be shortened, it’s not popular but well known and easy to spell.
We’re looking for a similar theme for new baby but at the moment we’ve got nothing on our list. Girls names we are finding so much harder. Please send some suggestions our way.

Sorry should have said it doesn’t have to be 1 syllable but we don’t want anything with an obvious nick name. Love Nell and Grace but can’t use either.
