We both really like the name Nola but I’m not sure how it sounds with our son’s name (Nola and Oliver? Oliver and Nola?) or how well it flows with our last name (Nola Porter?). I love the name Lola (Lola Wren?) but my husband’s not a fan (thanks to The Kinks song). I’ve always liked “L” names (such as Lily, Lia and Lucy), but worry these are getting too common as well. I’m also concerned about Lila/Lilah becoming incredible popular in the coming years. If our son was a girl we were going to use the name Lila/Lilah Katherine, but now the name seems a bit too delicate for me, although my husband really likes it. We will likely use Wren (a name I’ve always loved) as her middle name. We’re looking for a girl’s name that inspires creativity and strength, may be nature-inspired (but not too granola), and is original without being too different. My name is Lesley and my husband is John our last name is Porter.

Our son’s name fits him and our family perfectly- we’re looking for just the right thing for our daughter. Hello! We would love your help in deciding on a name for our baby girl who is due any day now! We’re assuming this will be our last child we have a son named Oliver Dawson who we sometimes call Ollie.
