Getting close to due date and need opinions!

Well, my partner and I find it sooooo hard to agree on names. We both work with kids so seem to have more we can rule out than rule in. She will have both our surnames, one syllable then 2.
Suggestions welcome and opinions on these:

[name_u]Christie[/name_u]/Christy
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u] (we are scottish so rhymes with now an)
Ailsa
[name_f]Elsie[/name_f]
[name_f]Muireann[/name_f]

Thank you so much in advance

I really like [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] for you

Effie and [name_f]Mairead[/name_f] came to mind

Thank you,
Ooo I never considered [name_f]Mairead[/name_f], il try that out with my OH. He has ruled out [name_f]Effie[/name_f] :roll_eyes:

Elsie and Aisla are beautiful.

I love [name_u]Rowan[/name_u], gorgeous name!

Thank you, il need to tally the votes!

Thank you, the only other [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] I know is a labrador, such a sweet pup. Won’t be telling my OH that or it’ll be another veto!!

Firstly congratulations!

I really like [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] for you it’s such a sweet happy name and works perfectly with the nickname trend that’s popular in [name_u]Britain[/name_u] currently. I like that it’s Scottish in origins with being a variant of [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f] which is perfect for you with you guys being Scottish. I also like the meaning ‘pledged to G-d’ that is such a great meaning.

I also like @Greyblue suggestion of [name_f]Effie[/name_f] and I think [name_f]Nell[/name_f] would be great choice for you also.

Thanks so much, I hadn’t looked into meanings and that is lovely. Its uncommon enough without being unusual which seems to have emerged as a criteria for us.

my favourite for you is rowan (fellow scot here!)

Tina?

Thank you, il tally another one for [name_u]Rowan[/name_u].
[name_f]My[/name_f] OH is set on [name_u]Christy[/name_u] but I prefer it for a boy, so want yo save it incase!

Ah, that sucks! :confused:

ailsa and elsie are both loves of mine, and I love the thought of them for you.

a few things to consider:
will ailsa occasionally being misread as alisa bother you?
will elsie’s popularity make it feel less special?

neither of the above are really concerns for me, and whilst all your options are lovely, those two are just perfectly sweet.

Alisa is my choice
[name_f]Alisa[/name_f] [name_f]Annalise[/name_f] ?
