Help! Baby girl due in three weeks and still no baby names for her.

Zara, Matilda and Madeleine are at the top of my list but have all been vitoed by DH for different reasons.

He likes Orla and Erin but we’ve not settled on anything.

I suppose we like names that aren’t too fussy (although that’s a matter of opinion), not too “out there” and relatively easy to say / spell.

Our surname begins with a “T” and we already have a DS named Zachary.

What names might we like?

My order would be:

  1. Eliza
  2. Maeve
  3. Hazel
  4. Lila

Zara is lovely but too close to Zachary in my opinion, nice for them to have different initials. Eliza feels very similar to Zara I love both but further removed from Zachary.
