Second Guessing and Need New Suggestions

Girl Names
1

As pregnant women are wont to do I’m second guessing our first name choice and I’m just wanting some new suggestions.

We’ve pretty much decided on Lumi (Finnish word for snow) and though middle names are not set in stone yet, we’re leaning towards Lumi [name]Katherine[/name] [name]Alba[/name]. But my other half called the baby Lumi recently when referring to her and it felt and sounded odd and now I’m not sure about it. Probably just hormones, but as a name geek I thought I’d get some other ideas.

We don’t really have any other choices we agree on. He likes [name]Lyra[/name], [name]Suvi[/name] and [name]Bronwen[/name]. I like [name]Azure[/name], [name]Wylda[/name], [name]Ianthe[/name] and [name]Maeve[/name].

Any suggestions similar to these or names that you think we might like? We like shorter simple names, no biblical names and not too frilly.

Thanks in advance.

Ottilie, I love [name]Alba[/name], but DD’s name is [name]Calla[/name] and it’s too close and [name]Alba[/name] doesn’t flow as nicely off the tongue as I wish.

I’ve considered Vilda as an alternative to [name]Wylda[/name] as the Finns couldn’t say [name]Wylda[/name] the way I want. But I don’t think I like it enough.

[name]Love[/name] [name]Beata[/name], but don’t think OH does as he’s ignored it on my list. We considered [name]Eira[/name], but decided against it. [name]Saga[/name] just feels a bit cheesy to me here. I prefer [name]Juna[/name] to [name]Junia[/name], but OH doesn’t like it again.

I’ve met a cute [name]Zelda[/name] here, but can’t imagine using it. Vilja is interesting, but we know a lot of Villi and Ville here and it feels too similar. My cousin just had a [name]Sylvie[/name] so that rules out [name]Silvia[/name] for me.

Thanks, will ponder your list and any other suggestions and see if anything sticks.

[name]Alexa[/name], thanks.

[name]Neva[/name] is interesting, but just looking it up it means bog in Finnish, so couldn’t use. [name]Love[/name] [name]Iris[/name], but OH has vetoed, same with [name]Elowen[/name].

[name]Arden[/name] is too similar to son [name]Aidan[/name]. [name]Tallis[/name] is interesting as is [name]Brisa[/name]. Thanks.
