Name Fatigue

I am pregnant with a girl and due in January. I know I have time, however I am getting soo many questions on if I’ve picked a name yet. I genuinely have NO idea. For context, baby girl is mixed (black and white) and her last name is Elliott. I don’t really like anything too traditional or too nickname-ish/sounds made up.
I’ve gone through SO many lists and nothing is standing out.

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

most of those aren't names !

I think you’ll find they are all names. Just because you don’t like it or haven’t heard of it, doesn’t make it not a name?

You've got plenty of time. Just keep a little list in a notebook (or a note on your phone) of any names that you like when you're watching a film, reading, or whatever you are doing. You'll start to notice names and you're bound to see something that you like.

I thought you meant Fatigue as a possible name 😂

So did I but only admitting it because I saw your post! Mind you, it’s a very appropriate name for a Mum!

I thought the title of this thread meant you were thinking of calling a baby fatigue 😳🤣🤣🤣

You have ages yet. I’d stop thinking about it for a few months. You might suddenly hear a name and like it.

We didn’t pick either of our children’s names until after they were born, though obviously we had a shortlist.

Maybe instead of thinking about names....think about meanings.
Do have a certain thing you feel aligned to in life - nature, elements, faith/religion, where you live etc.
I often imagine if I was to have more children (too old now 🙁) I would like to give them nature names. There's certain flowers I like which are used as girls names (Violet, Iris, Rose) so I would use one of those.
Maybe think of a meaning first... and then look up to see if there's a name that has that meaning.
I hope that makes sense.
