We found out this week that we are having a girl, and I find girl names to be such a struggle!
Here is a short list of names that I like, but I'm just not sold on. Feedback and other name suggestions would be so helpful!
Reese
Ivy
Maren/Marin
Elena
Freya
I also like Marlo, but I cannot get DH even close to on board with that one.
Help?!

@caterw: I do too but DH goes right to poison Ivy 
@Coral: 
I like the nickname possibilities of Juniper! It might be too cutesy for DH.

@mfa_lady: @catgirl: @T.H.O.U.: I made a post on another popular site about the name Reese and got a lot of negative feedback! People seem to overwhelmingly see it as a boy name.

I love the name Reese! Some of the other gender neutral names that I liked in that vein included Carmen and Cameron. Similar to Elena could be Heloise or Esme. In the nature category with Ivy, I like Flora, Florianne, Dawn, and Delilah.

@Synchronicity: The boys I know with the name have spelled it Rhys. I think of Reese or Reece as a girl name personally, though I know many see it as a gender neutral name.

@Ms.Badger: Oh I just met a baby named Margeaux!
@Coral: Aw I had a doula client who named her baby Felicity Jo. So cute!!
I also like Piper but it reminds me too much of Orange is the New Black.
