I know many of these are probably not the style of the overall board but DH & I really prefer something a little more unusual (no crazy spellings though!) and my favorites are something of French or Irish/Scottish origin (a few of these are) and have come up with these so far:
Cora, Demi, Darcy, Lola, Farrah, Lula, Maren, Arden, Noemi (not Naomi), Wren, Coco
mn would either be Frances, Josephine or Valentine (all are family names)
And yes, if someone had a gun to your head which would you pick?
Re: Not TTC yet but want input (girl names)
I like Cora, Demi, Farrah, Maren & Arden....
My BFF had Wren as her top name for her little girl and I thought it was not cute at all...overall I like your choices though!

I love Cora! That's for sure on my list.
Farrah is alright...but the others are nms or just weird. Please no Coco or Demi ... or Noemi...?
So maybe Cora Valentine?
Why do people not like Coco as a real name? It's a NN for me, but I think it's fine as a real name...
Cora- like!
Demi- blech
Darcy- not bad
Lola- cute, but doesn't strike me as a grown-up's name
Farrah- don't like
Lula- don't like
Maren- has the potential to grow on me
Arden- like!
Noemi- no
Wren- like!
Maren Josephine.
But I have seen it spelled Marin, so I would go with Marin Josephine.
I love Maren
I like Cora, Lola and Wren
I don't like Demi, Darcy, or Arden
I strongly dislike Farrah, Lula, CoCo, and Noemi
Be careful with Valentine as a middle name. With names like CoCo, Lola, and Lula it could easily go into "stripper name" status. I really like Maren Josephine.

I love Wren
I think Frances Wren, then call her Wren.
or Wren Josephine
Oh, I really like Arden! I don't think I'd use it, but it's very cute with any of the mn options.
I also like Maren, and Cora is okay.
The rest are nms. I actually really dislike Lola b/c it has some very sexual connotations that I can't reconcile with a little girl. I also can't get Copacabana out of my head!
My daughter's name is Cora, so I would have to go with that
Her middle name is Evelyn

Gun to my head: Cora Josephine.
I actually prefer Josephine as a fn. But from your list, it would either be Cora or Noemi for me. And with either, I would pick Josephine as the mn.
#1 Noemi, #2 Arden, #3 Lola, #4 Maren
I would not pick Darcy because of the Jane Austen connotation lol.
Wren
Followed by: Arden, Lola, and Darcy.
after anovulatory diagnosis and TTC for 1 1/2yrs with several medicated cycles and one chemical pregnancy, we have our first bundle of joy!
IT'S A GIRL!

I don't take one single minute for granted.
I like Darcy... which is my name but I spell it Darcie which takes away the Jane Austen association a little.
Darcie Josephine sounds nice and I like Cora too.
wren Josephine! Love it, very sweet name
I like Valentine for a middle BUT only if it is paired with one of the more serious first names. I think wren is too whimsical for it, but is really pretty with the longer josephine.
