I like Sienna or Claudia for a girl - bit worried that Sienna may be a bit common in the Uk by the time I have a baby though as it seems to be growing in popularity even though I have liked it forever!
Sienna is a beautiful name, Victoria! I love it. And if your real name is Victoria, I think that Sienna sounds like a lovely name for a daughter. Hehe, I give names A LOT of thought and one of my criteria is that our names as a family kind of go together nicely
It can get frustrating when the name you love grows a lot in popularity. I guess it means you have good taste, but it's hard to decide if you want to use it if it starts feeling too common to you.
I have a big ongoing list of baby names that I've been keeping for about 10 years! (Like I said, kind of obsessed with baby names!) Over the years, I've noticed some changes in my taste, but there are some that have stood the test of time, so they are going to be definite contenders. I've found that I actually like more traditional names, and usually not with any weird spelling variations. Somewhere in my future LOs names, I will want to incorporate family names too.
I like Alexandra for a girl, and William or Willem for a boy, at the moment. My grandpa is Dutch, and his name is Willem - we would call the baby Will in everyday use though. Our last name is 3 syllables long though...maybe Alexandra is too long
