Need girl FN

[Deleted]

I'm not even anywhere near being pregnant but I want to have a girl's name in the back of my mind when we start TTC #2. We were team green for #1. I LOVE DS' name (Dallas Joseph) but was never in love with the FN we had for a girl (Mackenzie). I wanted to name a girl Greer, but no one liked it so it was going to be the middle name. So for round 2, I want to re-use Greer but I'm stuck on a first name (or a middle name if I can convince DH to go with Greer).

Mackenzie is awful, especially on a girl, and Greer is very unattractive.  ETA: These are all instead of Greer. I would do an overtly feminine name of Greer MUST be the fn.

Alice

Bridget
Beatrix
Bronwen
Carys
Calypso
Ciara
Daphne
Elowen
Eloise
Esther
Freya
Greta
Hero (Yes, it's a for real girl name, used in Greek mythology and Shakespeare)
Helen

June
Juno

I don't like Greer because it doesn't sound feminine to me whatsoever. I agree with PP that I would pair it with a super feminine first name. I like Elisabeth Greer.

Other suggestions:

Anastasia
Catherine
Evangeline
Georgiana
Isabella
Josephine
Magnolia
Penelope
Seraphine
Wilhelmina

Elisabeth Greer and Evangeline Greer both sounds fantastic. OP, those get my votes!

Definately some good options! Thanks everyone. Interesting that Greer is such a polarizing name. People seem to either love it or hate it. No middle ground.

I actually don't mind Greer as a fn. But I absolutely love both of these combos.

I love Greer. (but I think the association with Greer Garson helps with my adoration.) I would totally use it as a first name if DH liked it at all.
