I have just found out i am having my first girl after 3 boys so v excited!
My favourite name right now is Eslyn, love the meaning behind it and I have only known one other person use it who i no longer see now as was an old neighbour. Also Elsie is growing on me. DH and I previously decided on Sienna when we I was expecting our 2nd son as we didn't find out the sex, but i feel that this name is too overused now.
Also really like the irish name Saoirse.
what do people think?

@WhatAboutSecondBreakfast86 , it's nicer than the names in your OP.

I love Eslyn, I like Elsie but I feel it’s a bit babyish and over done. I can say or pronounce the Irish name properly, I’d obviously learn it if we were friends but on a daily basis people might struggle

I like Eslyn, and Soraya!
