[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We just found out sex of baby (it's a girl!) and are at the beginning of our name search and just looking for ideas -- have not narrowed down at all. But we do have a pretty good sense of the style of name we want based on our last name and our preferences. Here are some names that are currently in the mix. Please feel free to tell me your favorites, which ones you don't like (and preferably explain why), and suggest others that seem in keeping with these picks. All fun right now, it's fine if you don't like a name but if so please suggest something you like better!

Nora
Freya
Thea (maybe short for Theodora)
Lyra
Flora (or maybe Florence and either Flora/Flory for nn?)
Isla
Ayla

... sensing a theme? We are not totally married to two-syllables or "ends with -a" but we seem to be heavily drawn to these. [/quote]

I feel like you have two lists going here. Nora, Freya and Thea give me Scandinavian vibes. Lyra, Flora, Isla and Ayla are a bit more whimsical and almost musical. Were you hoping to go in one of those directions? I happen to like Freya, Thea and Flora best from your list as full names not nicknames. 
I would eliminate Nora. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with it, but it seems to be trending. A decent segment of my family would get tripped up pronouncing Lyra and Isla for what that’s worth.

Dora (Eudora?)
