Mine is

Angelica!

It's one of my colleague's names, and I think it's very pretty.

Nova is the name of an academy trust which puts me off an otherwise beautiful name.

I like Navy for a girl.

I know that this will be unpopular but my current favourite girls name is "Euphemia" - I've discovered it used a lot in my genealogy and it's really grown on me, along with the variant "Eupheme".
My DH is glad that I'm menopausal and unlikely to have another baby, especially as I said I really liked "Enoch" for a boy.

Why would it be unpopular? It’s a beautiful name of Greek origin. Effie is a pet name and derivative of ‘Euphamia’.

Because it could be seem as a bit long and pretentious, I guess.

Eden is a favourite of mine. It was in my top 2 for DD, she’s now 2 and a half and still I sometimes look at her and wonder if she got the right name. That said I do love her name.

Kate. I called my daughter this 17 years ago. Elegant, beautiful but still cool. Just like her🥰

I have a neighbour called Effie, she’s a few months old ☺️ also know a little Etty, both not short for anything.

i can't take Jasmine seriously without thinking of the common joke - "is your name Jasmine? why?" - "cos you've always got Alladin" 🥴🤣😂

Mine has always been Kira. DD probably would have been really miffed that she was named after a Star Trek character, so probably best we didn't use it, but I just think it's a really pretty name
