Which name do you think is the prettiest for our first child? We can't decide We don't want a top-20 name, but it should still sound fairly normal to people hearing it for the first time. Preferably a bit tough.
Thanks!

P.S. The pronunciation of Mauve is Moov.

    I voted for Juno.
    I also think Isobel is quite nice, but I still see Isabel with an 'o'.
    I still think Mauve is okay.
    I don’t find Sjors, Dille, and Mille that beautiful.

    Another suggestion, Doris.

    Don't laugh, it's not an herb...

    Mauve and Isobel are nice though.

    I don't really find any of them that great.
    Isobel- I still read it as Isabel, which is actually quite nice
    Mille- well, not really my thing, never heard of it before.
    Juno- I know guys with that name, so I wouldn't give it to a girl. For a boy it's nice though. Maybe Yuna for a girl?
    Mauve- not nice, Fauve on the other hand is nicer.
    Sjors- not really my thing.
    Dille- makes me think of the herb or the Dille & Kamille store right away.

    You want something that sounds normal when people hear it for the first time, you say. I think people will quickly hear Isabel when they hear Isobel.
    With the rest, I think people will ask a second time, "What's your name?" Then Juno is the best option, for a boy, because I also think it's a boy's name. Juna feels more like a girl's name.

    Dear people,

    thank you for your honest responses, they helped in making a decision.
    I want to let you know via this way that our daughter was born on January 10, 2020. Unexpected, because I was only due in a few weeks. But... Everything is going well and we are super proud of our little family!
    Her name is:
    Ziva Keesje Noraly, nickname Ziva.

    Love,
    Nynke, Jord and Ziva

    Congratulations on your daughter! It's great to hear that everything is going well. And it's lovely to hear what name she got, and that it turned out to be something completely different.
    Wishing you lots of luck with your little family!
