My daughter gave birth yesterday to her second child. Both her children are girls and the older one is called Kathryn. My DD cannot settle on a name despite the fact that through a lot of her pregnancy she was set on the name Verity. Now she's tossing up the following but can't settle so names similar might click. Names she likes. Florence, Felicity, Lyla, Violet, Iris.
