Girl Names

My BFF is due in about a month and has made no progress on her little girls name. She is a native English speaker with Irish and Eastern European family, her husband is a native Spanish speaker from South America.

Her favorite name is Amelia but due to negative family history she won’t actually consider it. Second favorite is Matilda but she gave her cat that name last year and now she feels like it can’t be used.

Anyone have any names in that same style that might be the right vibe? Old names with a quirky vibe that are fairly common.

Honestly, your friend not knowing yet is perfectly fine. Some people actually don’t even names their baby for a little bit after they’re born because they want it to feel right. It’s okay not to have it right away, so tell her not to work too much, it will come to her :heart:
