I adore Plum. I know it's a silly sounding name and kind of pretentious but I really like it! My mum made me promise never to use it though

You guys are brilliant, thank you.

Okay so here goes:
Lyric - Not a big fan
Ivy - Adore this but it's popularity puts me off
Ruby - Totally get the appeal but not for me
Willow - This was going to be LO's name if he was a girl! But it has recently become quite a chavvy name in my area.
Sage - This is very sweet. Don't love it enough as a first name but it could be a lovely middle name.
Ever - Like this, but not sure I could use it.
Everly - Don't like it.
Indigo - This is on my list and I adore it, but popularity/potential for it to become 'common' in a bad way puts me off. I also love Violet but again popularity issue, I just can't seem to love really common names.
Felicity - I don't like it
Raven - Reminds me of the TV show which I hate!
Clementine - This is an amazing name and it's totally the style I want but not the right name if that makes any sense?
Estella - Really hate it, and Stella too
Winter - On my list. Love it but worry it's too trendy and will seem 'meh' in a few years, kind of like Autumn and Summer.
Arabella - On my list. Love it but it's very posh and proper. I do like the idea of shortening it to Arlo/Arly.
Cleo - Again on my list. Adore this name and it might have been the one if not for silly car references.
Beatrix - Used to be my favourite but now I'm not sure. Still on my list.
Ayla- Cute but I don't love it
Juniper- Like this and if we used Juno it might be short for Juniper
Delilah - Not for me
Jade - Bit chavvy over here
Sunday- This is cool!
Seven - Like it but not really my style.
Story - Love it but too close to Rory.
Tori - Dislike it, and couldn't use it for political reasons anyway!
Calista - This reminds me of an infection and I don't know why!
Briar - Adore this one! It's on my list.
Xenia - Don't like it
Wren - Love it but probably not enough as a first name
Marley - Love it
Taryn - Not sure
Rhapsody - A bit too out there for me
Bleu - Love it but don't have the guts to use it after the huge controversy about Blue Ivy's name
Zinnia - Don't like it
Flora - Like the style but not so much the name
Calla - Don't like it
Rowan/Rowyn - Reminds me of someone I went to school with and didn't like
Thalia - Again like the style but not the name
Una - Love this, but again not enough
Iona - Not sure
Ophelia - On my list, love it!
Patience nn Pae - Don't like virtue names
Alina - Not my style
Acacia - Cool but not for me
Sorrel - Again very cool but don't love it
Dahlia - Don't like it
Freya - Adore it but very popular
Granya - Love this name but it doesn't feel quite right
Harlow - Like it a lot
Jenna - Too 90s
Jessamine - Sounds quite weird to me
Lola - Love it but prefer Nola, which is a top contender
Kizzie - The only Kizzie I've heard of is one time Britain's youngest mum and that puts me off a bit
Xena - Warrior Princess associations
Briony - Love it but OH hates it
Cora - Love it but I worry about popularity
Verity - Don't like it
Nova - On my list, one of my all time favourites and a top contender, but I asked on here and almost everyone preferred Nola to Nova so I worry Nova is a bad name!
Melody - Reminds me of the annoying girl from The King's Nose.
Wilhelmina - Don't like it, though I like the nickname Winnie, and I like Winslet but don't dare use it.
Nola - A top contender at the moment
Iris - Lovely but not for me
Primrose - Same again
Pearl - I really dislike it
Luna - OH's absolute fave and I like it but not sure cos of Harry Potter references
India - Love it but not sure if place names are a bit tacky?
Meadow - Too hippyish
Nell - Doesn't sound like a name on its own to me
Asta - This is cute. I think I prefer Astrid though, which is on our list.
Effie - Lovely name. I do like Elizabeth nn. Effie but the popularity of Elizabeth has put me off a lot.
Lettie - Don't like it
Mae - Don't like it
Zarah - I quite like it but not enough
Astrid - On our list! Love it but don't know if I have the guts to use it or if it's the perfect name
Rue - Adore this name but I would feel weird going for an obvious Hunger Games reference, which it would be as I'd never heard of it beforehand
Zooey - Like it quite a lot but it's too popular for me
Fern - It's fine but I don't love it
Olive - Love it but it'd be short for Oliviè or Olivine which I adore and are on our list

Sorry I am so fussy! I like all the names on our list but none feel quite right for whatever reason, or if they do I don't have the guts to use them (like Hero). Just hoping to stumble across an amazing name!

 

[RubyRainbows]

I hope you find the perfect name! Some more suggestions:

Vada
Isla

[NellyLou]

Trying to think of more

Emmeline
Nella
Tessa
Nessie (might be too close to the monster though...haha)
Marley
Bronwyn
Hadley
Harlow

 

[Boo44]

I think Oliviè and Astrid are amazing names, you should trust your instinct xx

 

[JumpingIn]

Ariel
Lara
Maysa
Sun
Fae
Celeste
Serene
Viola
Elora
Ember
Coral
Flora
Saffron
Sapphire
Crystal
Fauna
Sable

Luna is my fave from yours, followed by Nova (I much prefer Nova to Nola...I thought Nola sounded made up and weird and Nova is classic and beautiful with a lovely meaning).

 

[MUMOF5]

I agree that Luna is a great name , I don't associate it with Harry Potter at all and I adore Ophelia - stunning name. X

 

[mazndave]

Ottilie
Tabitha
Anais
Serephena
Delphine
Margot
Arwyn
Calliope
Genevieve
Ariadne
Clea
Enid
Sabine
Paloma
Emmeline
Adaline
Aveline
Ember
Evangeline
Serendipity nn Seren
Cecille
Shiloh

Sorry if I've repeated any.

 

[NotNic]

I love Ottilie. How about Bo or Aurora?

 

[emyandpotato]

I agree that Luna is a great name , I don't associate it with Harry Potter at all and I adore Ophelia - stunning name. X

I'm a massive Harry Potter fan though so people will be suspicious It's a top contender though!

I love Ophelié, it's quite like a quirky version of Sophie which is perhaps my favourite name of all time (the insane popularity puts me off, and it's my sister's name), but the pronunciation puts me off as basically I can't say it right in my accent. Apparently it's said as oh-fay-lee, but I simply can't say that properly and pronounce it Oaf-el-EE
