Ever since I was small I’ve loved the name Petra. I idea why but I was a history fanatic. Is it an okay or a definitely not. I’ve never met another one in the UK but know three German people with the name.

OH current favourite is Danica as he likes the meaning and his dad is a Daniel. I’m just thinking she will end up another Danny though I’m not dead against that.

They're both great choices. I slightly prefer Petra but Danica is lovely. For reasons unknown I have a memory that he great Nigel Mansel had a daughter called Danica. The things brains retain!

Nigel's children are Greg, Leo and Chloe, but there is a famous racing driver named Danica Patrick, so maybe that's why you thought along those lines.
No idea why I googled all that 🤣
