Have a long list
of all the girls names you like and then wait until you see her before you decide...

It's no good if you've set your heart on Jessica (for example) and when she appears it's quite clear she's a Harriet.

Personally I like names that mean something or just sound funky...

Matilda is a good one, I rather like Freya too.

I'd avoid Emily, Charlotte, Sophie, Jessica and all those which have been really popular - not because they're not nice names, but because the chances are that she'll end up becoming known by her surname as there'll be so many of them in class when she goes to school.
