Would you be kind enough to share your shortlist for girl's names please?

Whether it is a current one or an old one or a 'if I ever one day have a little girl' list because I'm struggling to come up with a list of my own and time is going on.

Lists from all language/ethnic groups are really welcome.

I'm hoping that pooling ideas will help me and others - this is not for critiquing, just for inspiring!

As soon as I can tidy up my scruffy WordPad list I will post what I have. Thanks in advance

We have 2 boys and a girl. On our shortlists were:

If DS1 had been a girl he would have been Ffion Medi.

If DS2 had been a girl he would have been Manon Fflur.

DD obviously was a girl, she is called Carys Angharad.

Imarriedafrog - I love Saskia, too - the only problem being I have a very good friend named Saskia who has a sister called Romilly - and as we have a Romilly, I think it might be a bit weird (and a bit like we've stolen their parents' idea, iyswim) and that makes me
