We are pregnant with a Baby girl, our first child.
We would lile a Name with a beautiful meaning. Should be short. It should be an internstional Name. Iť should also be solid and traditional.

Middle Name/s will be family Names.

Names we like but CANNOT use are
Amelie, James, Helen, Evelyn, Leonard, Benedict.

We are open to suggestions

@AnLe92 Emma means "universal". In Hebrew meaning is "all embracing"
It is German in origin.

Just wanted to add Julia as a suggestion also. Meaning youthful.
