AlbertinaThese might be more whimsical than you had in mind. I just couldn't help myself. I'd love to hear what you ultimately name her, or at least what's on your short list. Thanks! It was fun.

No way I'm naming her Griselda haha. Gris means pig in Swedish, and elda means fire. And I just won't name her pigfire. ;-)I like Liadan too, but yeah, I live in Sweden and it doesn't work here.I will put Loveday and Anais on my list. This is my list so far:
Isabel
Ebba
Lovis (loving this)
Ever
Lily
Clara
Luna
Xena
Loveday
Anais

Uh-oh. Pigfire wouldn't work at all, sorry. lol.I forgot you're from Sweden, sorry. I wouldn't have put so many user-unfriendly Celtic names in there. But I'm glad there were at least one or two that might work. Your short list is great. Seeing Clara and Luna so close together makes me think of "Clair de Lune." But my favorites for you are Ebba and Loveday.
