Please post your girls shortlist (current/past/potential) for inspiration?

[sedgiebaby]

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

Ours was:

Lucia
Alice
Amelie
Emily
Jasmine

Some fantastic names, you have me thinking!! Thank you! More please more!

LadyStitt: I love some unisex names especially the more masculine ones: Noa/Noah; Ellis; Harper; Morgan; Sasha; Tori. Although I wouldn't like them for a boy if that makes sense

Celia, Iris, Violet and Hazel

sedgiebaby if you like unisex names, how about our DD's mn, Rowan?

I have an Emmeline.

On the list for her was:

Juliet
Jemima
Mimi &
Minnie (though much derided on MN)
Violet

On the list when we were having DS was

Jasmine &
Daisy

Psammead I really like Rowan but I know a couple of baby Rowans or it would be in the running - yes a lovely name.
