Sister for Mara

Marasmommy0611

Im throwing out baby names to DH, as we have just started to try for baby #2. Our soon to be 4 year old daughter is Mara Noelle. 
We have a boy name we love (Callen, middle name likely Andrew or James) but are at a complete loss for girl names. We had no other options or considerations other than Mara last time  
What sounds good with this? We like names that are unique, but not unheard of.
Wide open to suggestions!

My husband likes Astrid. I'm not sure. I feel indifferent to it. 
Bridget is cute! Thanks for the suggestions

Thoughts on Lila? 
Spelling choices: Lila, lilah, Lyla...

I know it's not a huge deal but personally I would try to find a name that doesn't end in 'a'. It's hard because there are so many good ones! But I loooove Astrid. And Bridget is awesome & goes well with Mara.

I like Lila, but don't love it with Mara. I wouldn't use 2 2 syllable names that end in a. Suggest Corrine Carys Ivy

I love the suggestion of Bridget. I think it's perfect with Mara. Suggest:

Daphne
Erin
Collette
Heidi 
Eliza
Helena
Annie

I like what others posted Astrid or Naomi with your Mara.  I am sure when the time comes the perfect name will pop up.  

Miss Lilac

Heidi is cute with Mara!

Just show your husband the episode of The Office where Michael's ex-girlfriend names her baby Astrid. I can only hear it as ass turd now.

I don't really have suggestions, but I love Mara! Simple but different is absolutely what I look for in a name. 

I like Lila, spelled that way.

I love Eliza. DH isn't too sold

Marasmommy0611

Thank you! We were so sold on Mara, I feel like I don't like any other girl name as well.

Just to encourage you, myself and all my friends who are on their second child have this feeling. I think you just get so connected to thinking about your first pregnancy/child, and you are so much more familiar with that first name. It may not be as instant, but I'm sure once you connect a new face to a name you will fall in love with it.

Thank you! This was really sweet! I know you're right, I'm just not there yet. Hopefully I will come up with something that's feels just as right as Mara the next time around. Thanks again for the encouragement...much needed!

I have never heard the name Mara, it's beautiful. PP have given a lot of good suggestions I just wanted to add Louisa, Leona, Irene, Annabelle, and Camille.

Marasmommy0611

I do like Annabelle and I'm liking Eliza and Audra too. My husband is just so picky!
