These are the current short list. Big brother has an Old Testament name which is relatively popular at the moment.

Thanks in advance!

I have a Juliette in my class. Pretty name.
And I know a nice (but slightly loopy) adult named Esme. (Reminds me of the witches in Terry Pratchett though).

Sylvie strikes me as old fashioned, but in a way that would be easy to get used to as the name of a little one.

Thea or Sylvie.

How are you pronouncing Thea by the way? I like the Scandinavian pronunciation, Taya Smile

Thanks everyone who has posted so far. It's looking like a tie between Thea and Juliet at the moment.

I would pronounce Thea as Thee-ya, haven't really considered the Taya pronunciation to be honest.

Thanks!

I love your list! They're all beautiful names, but Esme is probably my favourite.

Love Juliet and Sylvie, Juliet probably wins by a whisker as it's a bit stronger.
Don't like the others.
