    Girl's Name Brainstorm

    We are choosing our first ever girls name!

    Here are our rules:
    - must not be gender neutral
    - not start with a b
    - must be able to spell it easily
    - a "normal"ish name - but not a very popular name

    These are some of our top favourites at the moment:
    Lydia
    Charlotte (but too common)
    Olivia (but too common)
    Georgina
    April
    Caroline
    Laura
    Hope
    Willow

    We are Christians and so are open to names from the Bible as both DSs have Biblical names (as do DH and I!)

    Hit me with some more ideas please! Or your favourites.

    Hmm tough one for me!! I'm usually good with suggestions but the thing about normal names counts most of mine out.

    The most normal ones from my girls list were:
    Jayne
    Eden
    Elisabeth
    Grace
    Lillian
    Audrey
    (and the ones I didn't get to use)
    Zahlea / Zarlie
    .... darn my mind has gone blank! I'll keep thinking...

    These are all along the traditional line and also from the Bible.

    Thank you so much everyone. Your suggestions are really helpful! This is suprisingly hard - I had already picked out a boys name and had assumed that No 3 would be a boy! (Theodore, in case you're interested!)
