Me and my husband are expecting our first daughter in a couple of weeks and we are agreeing on no names! I prefer classic, established names (I’ve suggested [name_f]Diana[/name_f], [name_f]Catherine[/name_f], and [name_f]Alice[/name_f], he thinks that they are too boring) and he prefers newer, trendier names (he suggested [name_u]Lennox[/name_u], [name_f]Nova[/name_f], and [name_u]Everly[/name_u], I think they’ll be too dated in 10 years). Any ideas?
Perhaps retroish names that are classic and trendy at the same time. There are plenty in the middle.

I agree with @wilkie8709 as there should be names that would fit middle ground that are well established but not overused so that they feel modern.
[name_f]Esme[/name_f]
[name_f]Thea[/name_f]
[name_u]June[/name_u]/[name_f]Junia[/name_f]
[name_f]Audra[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
[name_f]Anneliese[/name_f]
[name_f]Xanthe[/name_f]
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f]
[name_u]Eloise[/name_u]
What about something timeless with a spunky nickname? Like Eleanor nickname Nell or Leni? Some other names that might work:
Matilda ‘Tilly’, ‘Tilda’
Freya
Arabella ‘Ari’, ‘Bella’
Juniper ‘June’, ‘Juni’
Ivy
Thea
Olive ‘Oli’
Adeline ‘Addy’
Clementine ‘Clem’
Liv
Francesca ‘Frankie’
Maya
Violet
Willa
Isobel ‘Isby’
Scarlett
Della
Marlowe
Harriet ‘Hattie’, ‘Harry’
Giselle ‘Gia’
Henrietta ‘Hettie’, ‘Henry’, ‘Etta’
Iris
Mirabel
Sylvie
Xanthe
Stella
Edith ‘Edie’
Amelie
Celine
Ophelia
Elodie
Pearl
Evelyn ‘Evie’
Hope this helps!
