Your 12 yo sounds like a jerk.

I like Henrietta best.

DP. She not a jerk, she’s just not hanging out with the newborn - 3 year old set so she doesn’t know that names that were popular 100+ years ago are coming back now.

Naomi. It’s “Old Testament” old modern at the same time. Also love Esther or Sarah or Ruth, of same genre.

Theodora is adorable!

I love Winifred, actually. I have a Theodora. We're stuck on boy names.

The nicknames are great too. You could call her Teddy, Dora or Dory, Thea — it’s a very versatile name.

Minerva isn't a witch, PP. She was the Roman equivalent of the goddess Athena.

OP you better make sure that she's smart if you are going to name her after the goddess of Wisdom. But it would make the nursery theme easy: Owls!!

I love Harriet. That was my rabbit's name.

I love Edith, it’s so elegant sounding.

Makes me think British high society in Edwardian times.

Harriet nn Hattie is becoming very popular in UMC white circles.

Ruth /Ruthie will be making a comeback with passing of RBG.

I love it-- Ruthie as a kid; Ruth on a resume sounds fantastic.

I love Harriet. Always have, ever since a kid and read Harriet the Spy. I’m shocked it hasn’t become popular!

She's actually quite sweet and would never make fun of someone's name, but she knows how other 12 yr olds are. So, actually, she's being kind by telling OP that this is what's going to happen to their kid.
