Hello! My husband and I love the names Eva and Emma, but both seem to be very popular at the moment. Any suggestions of similar names that are a bit more unique? We also like Anna and Zoe.

Anna and Zoe are both lovely and not too popular. How about Tess or Chloe?

I named my baby Thea in May not heard of many Theas and it's a short simple name but so pretty in my opinion 👍🏼

Ava, a combination of Eva and Emma? Or Amy/Amelie if you like the softer m sound?
