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!
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.

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.

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 like Lila, spelled that way.
