DH and I are struggling to agree on a girls name. I like Heather, Hazel, Mary, Miriam and Victoria, and he likes Tara, Megan, Bethan, Rhiannon. Could anyone help us either grow to love one of the others names or else find a new name we both love please, we're at a bit of an impasse at the moment! Middle name will probably be Elizabeth (family name). We live in England (although DH is Welsh) and our surname starts with an E.

I dislike most of the names on both lists with the exception of Miriam, which my Mother claims is too Jewish (i promise she is not antisemitic, just judgemental). You clearly both like classic, older names. Nothing wrong with that and some Welsh names are nice. I have a friend whose daughter is called Ffion which I love, I one met a Brogan which I also love, Dyllenn (sp) is a name I read in a book set in Medieval Wales its unusual but I like it. Maybe look at some old English names as well, Morwenna is Cornish.
