Howdy.
My second daughter is due two weeks from tomorrow. We have a solid first choice name (sorry, not sharing here), but we're looking for some more backup names in case we change our minds when we meet her.
Current backup list:
Alice
Hilda
Names we both like but won't use for one reason or another:
Freya
Greta
Holly
Elsa
Names I like but my husband does not:
Inga
Ida
Astrid
General rules: we like names that are somewhat nickname-y, but are still standalone names (like Inga instead of the more formal Ingrid, or Hilda instead of Hildegard). No floral/botanical names. No Biblical names. No names with a long A sound, or that end in a long E sound. No names that start with D or J. Prefer two syllables, but that's not at all a deal-breaker.
Middle name will probably be Ruby. The baby will have my husband's last name, which is one syllable and very German.
