    Oh and your reasons for no S or N... same with me, except H or N. Our surname is German ... so omg so many names sound awful with it lol.
    Yeah DH family name is German but the decendants came from some small boarder town between Denmark and Germany, on the Dane side.

    Thanks so much everyone.

    I do have another Scandinavian name that I would LOVE to use but no one ever seems to like it ... especially DH he hates it. Its Vibeke (Vib - beck- ah) I have loved it since a world famous Ballroom/Latin Dancer came out to Australia when I was 15. She was the most gorgeous woman and was the MOST amazing dancer.

    I adore Vibeke but yeah its a name sadly I will never be able to use, not sure I could name my child "little housemaid" either

    I love Amara. I sounds soft and feminine when you say it. The hotel chain is Amora.

    Aliera is another spelling option for Elira. I just googled Elira. It's an Albanian name, meaning 'free'. I like it.

    Ahhhhhhhhhhh thank goodness there seemed something seedy about naming a child the same as a hotel chain Oh I love the different spelling for Aliera had a giggle at the meaning - Free ... I spose she will be once she is out

    I love Ruby! It was our girls name last time round and again this time... It's such a pretty name that's cute for a little girl and dignified and sophisticated for a grown woman.

    I love Amara and Ruby.

    I really like the name Allira too, it's an Aboriginal name meaning daughter. (I think)

    My pick from your list is Freja. Gorgeous name.
    I don't really like Tori. Also, it can be short for Victoria.
    I also like Jolie, Ruby & Amara - in that order.

    Just adding that I love Amara as well. As tash said, very feminine and pretty. My local Pharmacist's name is Mara and she is very feminine and kind if you want a version of Amara

    Freya (Freja) was on my list for a long time... and possible still is if i get to a 3rd girl. Its the Norse Goddess of love, (Friday is named after her), so it is a very powerful name.

    I'm partial to the name you appeared to have made up too =)

    Pick something that is special to you, or even see what your baby likes, you can sit down nice and relaxed and still (like meditation - depending how deep you want to go) and say the names, think of their meaning etc... and see how your little one reacts. that might help you decide too.

    I had forgotten about this thread until it popped up.

    Sadly all except Ruby were vetoed in a MONSTER way by DH ..... however we DO have a name he is "thinking" about and I don't want to push my luck with it as I know that every time I say the name out loud to baby she wiggles around sooo I take that as her liking the name

    IF I can get DH to approve it the first and middle name is - Willow Mae.

    I am keeping my mouth shut and not pushing the name on him at all this time and the fact that aside from his initial reaction he has not said much against it (or for it but still) I am keeping everything crossed
