We have recently found out we are having another little girl and we are really struggling to pick another girls name!
We have a few of bits of criteria… We really want to honour my mum with the Middle name. Her name was [name_f]Janelle[/name_f] so we are going with [name_f]Nellie[/name_f]. Also, our surname starts with the “La” sound so it rules out a lot of names with too many L’s. We feel like we pushed it with [name_f]Stella[/name_f].
I am currently loving [name_f]Esther[/name_f] but I don’t know if it is too similar sounding to [name_f]Stella[/name_f]? Opinions?
They might be a little too similar sounding for me as they share a lot of the same letters. Some other options might be Stella and…
